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.

UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS: THE PLAN 9 CONSPIRACY ** USA 2016 Dir: Jose Prendes. 75 mins

Ed Wood Jr’s PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE has a ludicrous reputation as the “worst movie of all time”, its eccentric director a consistently easy target for snarky critics despite receiving some redemption courtesy of Tim Burton’s sympathetic ED WOOD (whose two screenwriters appear on-screen here alongside archive footage of Burton and Johnny Depp).
UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS is a parody of earnest academic film criticism,  taking the form of a faux-documentary (peppered with clips from the public domain PLAN 9) with talking heads who are either recognisable genre personalities or actors portraying stereotypical “fans” (a foil-hat wearing alien abductee, a hysterical Vampira obsessive, etc). Spoofing the famous over-analysis depicted in ROOM 237 – in which insignificant details in THE SHINING were afforded absurdly elaborate meaning where none was intended – these personalities argue that PLAN 9 is a hugely significant work, whether as a metaphor for “Eskimo capitalism” or an exposure of sinister U.S. government machinations.
For a while, this conceit is quite amusing, with Mick Garris (positioning Ed as one of the first feminists), Daniel Roebuck and Joe Dante enjoyably on-board with the gag, and the likes of SHARKNADO writer Thunder Levin, Tom Holland, William Lustig and Brian Yuzna in support. The broadly played fictional characters, however, soon grate and highlight the limitations of the movie’s sole joke: the suitably unattractive academic “Diane Freely” (‘Head of Genital Studies’), is one such figure who starts out mildly funny but quickly grows tiresome. The movie itself may have worked well as a critic-puncturing spoof at around the running time of a typical DVD featurette, but it swiftly falls back on repetitive dick / butthole gags and, ironically, ends up less entertaining and commendable than the fascinating old movie it fashionably patronises.
