It's a well known issue that red component in video devices suffers in presentation. The reason is the red color's long wave length and that our eyes respond more to long wave ranges (not to be confused with color sensitivity which would be in yellow-green range). For us to perceive the colors as equal (ref. responsiveness) the green and blue are ...

It's not an illusion - it's called chroma subsampling. Most video codecs do not represent colour in full resolution as a way of achieving greater compression by taking advantage of the way that the human eye is more sensitive to brightness ("luma") than colour ("chroma"). Many codecs don't bother giving you too much colour information when you're not going ...

While pure red is tough to match, partly due to our visual sensitivity in that region, I've never noticed any tendency for red to 'pixelate' more than any other color. Maybe you're seeing an artifact of compression? Do you also see this in non-electronic displays like backlit signs, etc? Another answer here claims that manufacturers kept secrets about color ...

Yep, this is a great place for that question, though I did add a copyright tag... Understanding that I'm an NOT a lawyer, just someone who's dealt with a lot of lawyers and intellectual property law, the rule of thumb is that if YOU record it you own the copyright and can do whatever you want with it. There's a legal doctrine called the "right of publicity" ...

I think the issue you see here is actually because of bright pixels against a very dark background. Most lossy compression takes into account that we are far more perceptive to lightness differences than we are color differences. Depending on the codec used, and encoding options chosen, the blocks used for approximating the video can be fixed size, which ...

"I have computers, recorders, att u-verse and an am radio" Then there's nothing you can't accomplish! (-: Google shows plenty of examples. This was the first hit for "audio delay software free": http://www.fountainware.com/Products/AudioDelay/index.htm

You could check out these links to see if they provide what you need: http://www.theneitherworld.com/mcpoodle/SCC_TOOLS/DOCS/SCC_TOOLS.HTML Caption Maker Pro: http://www.cpcweb.com/ And of course Scenarist and Encore, although both are DVD oriented you should be able to produce at least MPEG-2 with closed captions embedded: ...

If you have at least 300-500kps of upload bandwith available you can push an rtmp stream of your live event to a CDN like youtube, dailymotion, livestream ... In terms of software I already used: Livestream, which provides among other things a tool called procaster with which you can broadcast your desktop, or a section of your desktop. You can even ...

There are legal low-power FM transmitters but they are of low enough quality that when paired with a typical inexpensive FM receiver I doubt you (or your users) will be happy with the results. Unfortunately in-ear monitoring is still new enough that the only decent quality options are a bit pricey, starting at over $600 US. For hearing assistance, the ...
