This is very interesting, Albert. As best as I can count, it appears to be about 96 lines horizontal scan. There seems to be about a 3:4 aspect ratio, so that would mean about 72 lines scanned in in the vertical direction. In other words, a 72 line 4:3 aspect ratio picture would probably be about equivalent in resolution.Viewmaster wrote:This gives a picture like enclosed.

Not so. For a given disc and picture shape, doubling the number of holes will mean twice as many holes squeezed into an aperture half as wide. Meaning the holes won't be half the diameter, but a quarter - and one sixteenth of the area ! Thus you lose four stops of light, not two.

I'm assuming the picture shape remains the same in both cases.Viewmaster wrote:Maybe we talk at cross purposes. You with colour and stereo in mind and me with just simple black and white NBTV.

Nothing to do with colour or stereo. And by the way, it's me that has bagged the title of local thicko here, as should have been made evident by many of my past posts... That's the glory of this friendly club - I can go to the specialists who really know their oats whenever I need help.

Yes, and 48 lines would still provide a relatively bright picture with a reasonable bandwith (38.4 kHz with a Kell factor of 1.0, 26.7 kHz with a Kell factor of 0.7). The frame rate would be high enough to minimise flicker as well as display very smooth motion. Plus, it is truly a historical standard!DrZarkov wrote:The Doberitz-standard seems very nice to me. Remember this thread: http://www.taswegian.com/NBTV/forum/viewtopic.php?t=240 The second picture is 48 lines resolution. It is already a big improvement to 30 lines.
