Variable-Resolution Rendering System Extends TV Animation Graphics to Film and Print Media
Problems encountered in transferring computer-generated television-resolution images to film and print media are briefly reviewed, including the effects of anti-aliasing. It is argued that to fully utilize the spatial resolution these media provide, pictures must be completely re-rendered directly at high resolution. This introduces a new set of problems which are briefly summarized. When previewing requirements are considered, as well as the final product, rendering systems allowing completely variable resolution seem most appropriate. Features of such a system currently under development at BTS Broadcast Television Systems, Inc. are described.
