I actually don't have a digital subscription but since they are forcing the analog/digital transition thing into effect, I might be seeing these
things soon enough, digital, yes, but I do not have HD, which is where the odd stuff happens, I think. I've only seen it on my parent's HD digital
subscription.
The bit rate problem/ face anomaly issue seems convincing to me... if the video speed is slow, then the signals/timing would get mixed up, like the
facial movements are too fast for the so called advanced digital camera, then reasonably digital artifacts would occur as the processing plays catch
up.
Even so some parts of that explanation doesn't make sense, like why is it so bad or so anomalous?
To jimminycricket, I don't think youtube is the problem, even original saves show the same issue, Youtube of course degrades the quality but the
anomalies are pretty specific, Youtube degradation or not.
Nonetheless, I would rather they kept the camera onto the subject and not just cut away, just for giggles and screams, eh? If they whip the camera
away the second before the subject's face is about to reveal something, it just arouses suspicions.
But the eyes, especially the vertical slit pupils, like the poster who provided a picture of some World player in different postures with the same
creepy vertical pupils, is something else entirely.
Black pupils? I don't think bit rate problems could do that... I would expect to see the eyelid pixels all forked up as well but the anomaly is
pretty specific, it's almost as if their eye movements are different too like they open up their eyes bigger, viola, weird black eye shift.
I wonder if they adjust something to the camera before they train it onto the subject again. I'd like to have one of these cameras to play with and
see if there is something to the myth.
Does anyone know any specifics about these fancy newsroom cameras they use? I see an HD handheld camera selling for about 180 Canadian, I wonder if I
should get one.
