My inspiration for this project comes from a website that documents the same remake, but this one has A LOT of more detail:
http://viewjournal.eu/index.php/view/article/view/JETHC082/179Be warned, sometimes this website works for me, sometimes it doesn't. I suggest viewing it on a desktop, or lap top computer.
Yes I was showing my bias there as, alas, the article you give has a couple of flaws regarding how my software was described and used.
The first was the unfortunate reference to a "sound card". If the imaging device had been a mechanical television the acquisition would have been through a soundcard but as it was, the image device was a webcam.
I say unfortunate because, over the years, there has been some misconception of what the role of a soundcard is with my software. Some think it is doing some kind of DSP whereas, it is merely used as an aquisition/replay device.
This version of the documentation also makes no reference to the NBTV virtual camera/Skype interface that was used to send the NBTV signal to the wirecast software on another computer, this is unfortunate as, as far as I am aware,it is the only time this unique feature has been used by anyone other than myself
The other minor problem is one of my making that wouldn't have happened if I had been "closer to the coal face" so to speak.
The images shown on that article clearly demonstrate vertical direction pixellation which would not have been present on the original transmission (no sampling) - these should have been smoothed out by anti-aliasing to more closely simulate (but not as good as) the original.
So, McGee2021, I am not sure how you will be doing the simulation but the latter issue is one that I think would be well worth addressing
