And we make sure you as the movie lovers will be satisfied with it. High-definition video video higher resolution and quality from standard definition. 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.


SKYQUAKE **** Canada 2015 Dir: Sandy Robson. 79 mins

Despite the clichéd “based on true events” tagline at the start, this is an effectively stripped-down mind-fuck chiller from actor / writer / director / editor Sandy Robson. He plays a paranoid, multi-phobic, bulimic loner in an isolated location who suffers recurring nightmares, hears voices telling him to “keep control” and spends most of the movie alone, wigging out in his underpants.
His only interaction is with a friendly delivery driver (Bronwen Smith), who seems to confirm his far-fetched fear of a phenomenon known as “Skyquakes”. Robson’s pitiful / creepy central performance is at the core of a movie that sustains a mesmerising ambience of unease – aided considerably by its nightmarish sound design and an experimental score (both, at times, influenced by THE X FILES, as are some of the visuals). As writer, Robson builds much intrigue around the eponymous phenomenon, suggesting various explanations from the environmental (the surrounding woodland has been fracked and deforested repeatedly) to the apocalyptic. As nervy and paranoid as its main character, it cannily taps into prominent 21st century concerns: eco-paranoia, technological alienation, fake news and mental illness (notably PTSD). The build-up so good that it’s a little disappointing when the climax opts for a Shyamalan-inspired Twist O’Rama, borrowing one key story turn from THE MACHINIST and diffusing the carefully sustained ambiguity. Still, multi-hyphenate Robson has crafted a gripping document of one man’s descent, and the final switcheroo allows for one final, suitably disquieting moment of madness.
