Understanding HD...

[Zangetsu]

Hi Guys,

Lots of u have watched Full-HD Content (1080p).
So I wanna clear the concept of 'what is HD'.

High-Definition Video consists of two things
A.Resolution above 720p but 1080p is full HD.

B.Video Bitrate the more the bitrate the more the crsytal clarity...

But I have a question on point...by only resolution of 1080p doesnt mean dat the content is Full-HD...coz low resolution videos can also be upscaled to 1080p using converters.....

so,point B also is essential..what do u say?

any other core component u know?

Frame Rate? It should be atleast 25, but 30 is also common.
I think by Bit rate you mean Data rate. Since Bit rate is usually associated with the Audio part of a video file.

But I have a question on point...by only resolution of 1080p doesnt mean dat the content is Full-HD...coz low resolution videos can also be upscaled to 1080p using converters.....

Yes they can be upscaled. It depends whether the video has been recorded in 1080p or not.

so,point B also is essential..what do u say?

Well of course its essential. Try to lower it too much and you'll see the results.
As Vineet said Frame rate is also important. And the other important parts are container, codec and many things that coming together makes a Video say if you have a damn good quality but a bad Audio so would you say that the video was good .

by only resolution of 1080p doesnt mean dat the content is Full-HD.

by definition any video having a resolution greater than 1280x720 ( aka 720p) is termed as HD. As the resolution goes beyong that, more and more prefixes get added. Full HD, Ultra Max Hd yadda, yadda.

Any video having 1080p is termed as full HD...it maybe upscaled but as far as it displays 1080 pixels vertically

 

[Zangetsu]

Frame Rate? It should be atleast 25, but 30 is also common.

but a framerate of 23.XX fps is also good
Btw framerate is associated with motion....& not Crystal Clear Clarity

Nope....I mean Video Bitrate & not audio bit rate they both r different

And the other important parts are container, codec and many things that coming together makes a Video

Not Necessary if u neglect the file size.
say an MP4 can also be a good container as MKV for an HD Content

say if you have a damn good quality but a bad Audio so would you say that the video was good.

Audio is for Hearing...& HD videos r 5.1 channel
its vision aspect of HD...

Any video having 1080p is termed as full HD...it maybe upscaled but as far as it displays 1080 pixels vertically

No use of upscaling...it just covers ur LCD screen size..but will be heavily pixelated....

 

[gameranand]

If you get the video from a legit source then AFAIK video won't be upscaled and audio would be good but you can't guarantee that for other sources also which provide good visual but bad audio. I said that regarding those videos.

It will be still called HD. Thats why I mentioned

It depends whether the video has been recorded in 1080p or not.

 

[Zangetsu]

^^ Buddy recording a video in 1080p format is completely different from a upscaling a video in 1080p.....

dont compare a upscaled 640*240 video to 1080p ---> a HD video recorded by a cam corder (1080p)

 

[Vyom]

^^ Absolutely agree. I wonder why upscaling is done in the first place? Since we can watch a low-res video also in full screen, which would fill the entire screen, and of course still be pixelated!

 

[asingh]

I think this explains it good detail..!

 

[Zangetsu]

Cud u guys post the details of the best HD 1080p content u have seen...
details such as resolution,video bitrate,fps etc

59.940fps....gr8
is there any pixelation on full screen

y this 3 different bitrates??
I think bitrate above 10Mbps is excellent

 

[gameranand]

is there any pixelation on full screen

No its crystal clear even with all those disco lights.

y this 3 different bitrates??

Because of this

Bit rate mode : Variable

What about1080i, in which providers like tata sky provide HD channels? Isnt it the same as 720p?

Gogole about Progressive scan (p) and Interlaced video (i).

Progressive scan vs. interlaced video | Axis Communications

Interlaced vs. Progressive Signals

The Big Picture - Interlaced vs. Progressive, Fields vs. Frames, 3:2 pulldown and Inverse Telecine (page 1 of 2)

1080 and 720 are just the number of vertical lines.

@ nims11
Have a look at this

where did you get this video from i need it

 

[gameranand]

You just have to install Klite Codec Pack This feature comes with it. After you have installed it then a option Media info in the right click context menu of any playable file. Be it video or Audio.

Bro he needs the video itself and not the information of video
