Hi, Craig: > What I believe we are dealing with here is the relationship between > the visual acuity of the viewer and the ability of any sampling grid > to equal or surpass that level of acuity. But... we can't discuss each other's visual acuity, because we don't know the viewing distance of the other person ! The only thing that is not variable is the original image content, so I would have to go with Tom's theory that we are reaching a cutoff frequency where the image content begins to be significant. And since this is just an arbitrary image, and not too well focussed according to Doug, it can only be a coincidence that this cutoff happens between 480 and 544 lines. > If Tom and Jeroen have time to play, I would like to see a > down/up sample pass through 1024 x 576P.
