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.

THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US *** U.S.A. 1956 Dir: John Sherwood 78 mins

The third and final entry in the CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON series of movies from Universal Pictures sees the creature once again rise from the depths. It would appear that this sequel follows on from the events of the 1955 film REVENGE OF THE CREATURE, as this time scientists are tracking the creature in the waters that he went into at the end of the previous film. As the scientists go on their voyage to capture the creature, they too are also being stalked but by the creature itself.
Once they corner the creature they capture it and bring it on board where they attempt to make it more human like. Such things as the creatures ability to breathe underwater are gone as well as some of its skin turning human like. Bringing the creature back to the home of the unstable Dr. William Barton for further studies, the creature soon breaks out of captivity to seek revenge on his captors and hopefully return to his watery depths. In this day and age of sequels/reboots/remakes etc it is hard to forget that some of the classic Universal Horror movies had some decent sequels themselves. Proof is in the film THE CREATURE THAT WALKS AMONG US, the best of the 'Creature' sequels and possibly the best of all later sequels in any Universal Horror series. There is no moments of dullness throughout because if it isn't whats going on with the creature its the drama going on between those on the boat, more so Dr. William Barton and his delectable wife Marcia Barton, who he clearly has trust issues over. If emotional drama isn't your thing not to worry the creature gives you enough action sequences to keep you appeased right up to the very end. The creature itself was played by 2 uncredited actors: Ricou Browning played the in water creature, while Don Megowan played the creature on land. It is also worth noting that this is the only film out of the 3 'Creature' films that wasn't filmed in 3-D. The last of the 'Creature' movies but a film that is a perfect ending to one of cinemas greatest horror icons.
