Viewing pictures on tv

The quality of digital pictures from my Canon G3 when viewed on TV via AV cable or through Ulead software produced DVD disc on DVD player is very poor.

Same pics on my PC are of very good quality and hard copies are great.

My TV is a High Definition Sony KVEH36M31, latest technology so it is not the TV. The DVD dics was burned on a CR-R and not DVD-R but Ulead did not specify DVD burner.

Canon customer support were useless, said that the lower quality on TV was normal.

Any ideas please? Am I doing something wrong? Are G3 users having similar problems?

i think the resolution on your television is well below that of your pictures. thats why they do not look as good. how is your dvd player connected to your tv?

It dosn't really matter how its hooked up, the resolution on your TV even Hi-DEF isn't going to touch your cpu.

Thanks for your reply Nathan!

Why do you think the resolution is low? Are there any TV's that match the G3 resolution?

Also the DVD is connected to the TV via a multi-channel receiver for 5 channel surround sound.

What has your experience been and what connection/ method have you been using to view your pics?

An interlace picture will not be as sharp as a computer monitor, however I believe when you try and record in a DVD format onto a CD-R you are only recording low quality VHS mpeg video. Your complaint should be against Ulead.

Jesse, it will not only matter how you have your DVD player hooked up, but also whether your DVD player is a progessive scan or not. There is major difference in hook up on if it is composite, S-video, or component. HDTV is outstanding and is much better than watching DVD's on your monitor.

Life is just a stage and we all have enough pictures to proof it!

There are several things that confuse me about this subject.

1. People always say that "the resolution on your monitor is 1280x1024 but the resolution on your TV is only 640x480, so the pictures won't look as good.

That's fine and dandy. But what if I downsample the picture to 640x480 pixels. It still looks crystal clear and sharp on my monitor, but on my T.V.

The picture still looks bad even when downsampled to T.V. res!

2. If you view still photos on a 'real' DVD, on your T.V., then the pictures look fine, although not as good as digicam pics on your monitor.

So why is it we can't even achieve DVD quality pictures, even if we burn the pictures to a DVD/SVCD instead of connecting the camera directly to the T.V?

George Dalidakis said:

Yes it does matter. It matters alot, if his dvd player is hooked up to his telivision with 'composite video' cables it will look a lot worse thatn if it was hooked up via 'component video' cables

George Dalidakis said:

Click to expand...

Your hdtv is probably somewhere around 1920x1080 pixels i think and the G3 is at 2272 x 1704. If you used the composite video out from your camera to the tv it would not take advantage of the tv's full resolution. Neither would your dvd player if it was hooked up with the same composite cables. I use component video at home to view pictures from a dvd and they look very good on my television which isnt even HDTV.

this page will help you understand.

The resolution of the TV has nothing to do with it. The G3 (and all digicams) only puts out a low resolution NTSC image. So the limitation is in the camera and the circuitry used to produce the camera's video output.. And on't expect any great changes in that aspect of digicams in the near future...

Jesse,

When you watch DVD's on your monitor, you are watching a small picture on a non-progressive DVD player. When you play it in a good progressive DVD player hooked up through the components on a good HD RPTV like an Hitachi or Pioneer, you are experiencing a much greater impact. I have high definition cable and the picture quality is fantastic. I have no idea what 1400 progressive lines are. You have your numbers wrong or a product that I am unaware of. Your HDTV is 1080i and some HD sets cannot get that high. At CES and other trade show, I seen the new blue laser HD DVD player/recorders. They were fantastic. They also showed a 1080p which was pretty good. At COMDEX they showed some unbelieveable computer monitors that blew away anything we buy for our home computers, but still, it is the large screen experience with the surround sound which makes for viewing and listening entertainment pleasure.

That was a good site for understanding standard television signals. The newer technology is 1080i and 720p. 1080i is somewhat sharper. A lot of movies are now being shot on video cameras shooting at 1080p and then transfered onto film. Interlace is when odd lines are sent and then even lines are sent to the TV. It takes two passes to create one frame. When you have a progressive picture, both odd and even lines are sent at the same time, giving you the same solid feeling from a progressive scan DVD player on your HDTV that you have on your monitor.

Moving pictures will always look better because of interlacing than still pictures unless you change the signal to progressive.

While resolution affects the crispness of an image, I wonder if you're referring to the fact that you're comparing two different gamma rated screens. It's my understanding that Mac processes color in such a way that images typically have a higher gamma rating than PCs, which is why some people prefer Macintosh graphics to PCs.

As far as comparing computer monitors to NTSC or PAL video, you might want to point to this Gamma FAQ for clues:

http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~buc/brechbuehler/mirror/color/GammaFAQ.html#RTFToC6

I pulled this relevant piece out of it:

"Television is usually viewed in a dim environment. If an images's correct physical intensity is reproduced in a dim surround, a subjective effect called simultaneous contrast causes the reproduced image to appear lacking in contrast. The effect can be overcome by applying an end-to-end power function whose exponent is about 1.1 or 1.2. Rather than having each receiver provide this correction, the assumed 2.5-power at the CRT is under-corrected at the camera by using an exponent of about 1/2.2 instead of 1/2.5. The assumption of a dim viewing environment is built into video coding."

Don't feel too bad. Adobe Photoshop album does the same thing. A VCD slideshow made to play on a dvd player watched thru a tv is poor to say at least. But when I burn a VCD to be watched thru a computer, it is excellent. Also the slideshow pics viewed on a computer are excellent. Hopefullt, version 2.0 of Photoshop album will have this corrected.

When I first tried to play back video shot on my digital video camera, the picture quality was terrible (using the RCA pin cables). The pictue was dark, yellow cast and very low definition. I almost returned the camera, thinking that it was defective. Then I hooked up the camera using the S-Video conncectors and the picture quality was outstanding. I would guess that your problem is somehow a result of the same phenomenon.

Jesse,

I have been on both sites and there are not any 1400p televisions. So I don't know what you are talking about. Kindly post the model numbers since you claim you sold them. No such animal that I am aware of. High definition for home use is 1080i and will be that way for years to come. My set will do 540p from a standard interlace broadcast. I really think you are mixing up specifications. Where would anyone get a 1400i signal? There are HD cameras used in the film industry that use 1080p and then convert to film. So I guess you are selling things way beyond what the professional users are aware of.

The quality of digital pictures from my Canon G3 when viewed on TV
via AV cable or through Ulead software produced DVD disc on DVD
player is very poor.

Same pics on my PC are of very good quality and hard copies are great.
My TV is a High Definition Sony KVEH36M31, latest technology so it
is not the TV. The DVD dics was burned on a CR-R and not DVD-R but
Ulead did not specify DVD burner.

Canon customer support were useless, said that the lower quality on
TV was normal.

Any ideas please? Am I doing something wrong? Are G3 users having
similar problems?

Jesse,

I don't know who is training you. But the DVI connection has nothing to do with having the set go into a progessive mode. There is no such thing as a 1400p mode using DVI. You sound like some of the floor salepeople I have dealt with over the years. You have your information wrong. That JVC is a run of the mill HD RPTV in my opinion.

Here is the specs from that JVC. Show me where you hit 1400p when using the DVI connection. You are being silly and not very well informed. Here is your chance. Read the specs and learn. If I'm wrong, then the whole industry changed on me. I read all the trade magazines and go to all the trade shows. Anyway here are the specs.

One look at JVC's I'Art PRO 56" D.I.S.T 1080i Digital HDTV Monitor is all it will take to launch you into the Digital Realm. The I'Art PRO package takes into consideration every feature the demanding digital customer is looking for now and for the future, and it delivers. With Features like Digital Image Scaling Technology where all sources are up converted to 1080i, a NEW HD Range DSD (Digital Super Detail) High End Edge Correction Circuitry, DVI/HDCP Digital Interface, Natural Cinema (3-2 Pull Down, Dual Auto-Sensing Component Video Inputs and NEW Super Focus Auto Convergence, all housed in a sleek contemporary cabnet, how could you resist?
