Although there is no standard meaning for high-definition video images, generally with far more than 480 horizontal lines (North America) or 576 horizontal lines (Europe) are considered high definition. 480 scan lines are generally a minimum although most system greatly exceeded the limit. Standard resolution image captured at a rate much faster than usual (60 frames/second North America, 50 fps Europe), by high speed camera can be considered high-definition in some contexts. Several television series shot in high-definition video that is made to look as if they've been shot on film, a technique that is often known as the filmizing. HDTV broadcast systems associated with three main parameters: Frame size in pixels is defined as the number of pixels horizontal × vertical pixels, for example number of 1280 × 720 or 1920 × 1080. Often times the number of pixels horizontally are implied from context and omitted, as in the case of 720 p and 1080 p. Scanning system is identified with the letter p for progressive scanning or i for interlaced scan. Frame rate is identified as the number of video frames per second. For interlaced systems, the number of frames per second must be specified, but it is not uncommon to see a level playing field which is used instead. Naming of commercial products, frame rate often falls and implied from context (e.g., a television set 1080i). Frame rate can also be specified without a resolution. For example 24 p means 24 progressive scan frames per second, and 50i means 25 interlaced frames per second. There is no standard for HDTV color support. The color is usually broadcast using YUV (10-bit per channel) However, depending on the underlying technology produces an image of the recipient, it is then converted to RGB color spaces that use standard algorithms. When sent directly through the Internet, the colors usually pre-convert to 8-bit RGB channels for additional storage savings with the assumption that it's only viewable only on a computer screen (sRGB). As an added benefit to the original broadcaster, pre-conversion losses are basically making these files is not suitable for professional TV Broadcasting again.
THE KILLER SHREWS *** U.S.A. 1959 Dir: Ray Kellogg 69 mins
Thorne soon discovers that it is not only the storm they will have to contend with this night, as the scientists have created giant mutant killer shrews which will stop at nothing to get their next meal. When one of the occupants of the cabin is bit by one of the shrews, they find that the shrews saliva contains a poison which can kill in a matter of seconds. With the knowledge that they are not safe they must survive the night and wait for the sun to rise to make a break back to Thorne's boat and sail off to safety. THE KILLER SHREWS is a cult classic and stands out probably more due to its poster and trailer then the actual movie. By todays standards of CGI monsters the killer shrews may seem ridiculous. Even more so when you get to see the killer shrews themselves which are nothing more then dogs draped in what looks to be disheveled rugs. As is the case with these movies anybody who is white will most likely survive the movie, and if your a foreigner well your cards are up before you even say a word. The pace of the movie is quite fast and doesn't have any moments to allow the audience to relax, you can just imagine how this would have played out in the cinemas back in the day. The budget of the movie is estimated to be $123,000, whether this is for everything or just the obscene amount of alcohol everyone drinks in the film is another story. THE KILLER SHREWS is an entertaining movie and is one that you will come back to time and time again. Ray Kellogg didn't direct many movies but this and THE GIANT GILA MONSTER (1959) have garnered a cult following.
