Hi there,
Thanks for checking out a 'Explained' blog! In these; my aim is to give you some details on what some common technical terms mean in digital video and film. I hope you find something useful here.
Please note; I do not consider myself an expert on the topics - if you believe I've made a mistake somewhere please do let us know! I'd love for this to be a learning experience for me as much as anyone else.
I’ve written about things like colour space, GOP structure, motion compensation and more but this one brings us back around to the basics. For those of you new to these things or for those wanting a refresh, this is for you! Here's what we'll be covering:
That’s quite a list! So without further ado, let’s get started!
- Resolution
- Frame Rate
- Interlaced & Progressive Scan
- Aspect Ratio
- Pixel Aspect Ratio
- Pixel Density
- Bit Rate
- Lossy & Lossless Compression
That’s quite a list! So without further ado, let’s get started!
