HDTV Converter Description

Takes any JPG or TIFF image, and converts it into a high quality size-optimized image in one of three formats. All digital cameras save images in a special JPG format, which conforms to DCF specifications. DCF stand for "Digital Still Camera Image File Format Standard" (JEIDA-49).Most (all?) HDTV photo players, such as the excellent Panasonic Photo Player, and most (all?) LCD picture frames, which accept camera memory cards, and convert the images on the cards for display on HDTV monitors or LCD picture frames, refuse to display images, which have been edited in photo editors, such as Photoshop, created from RAW camera files, or created by film scanners, because these images are not DCF compliant.The HDTV Converter will modify the edited images back into a DCF compliant format. The HDTV Converter takes any JPG or TIFF image, and converts it into a high quality size-optimized image in one of three formats.(1) When using the HDTV Full-Size format, you can select the vertical crop of the image that you want to see in wide-screen format. In this mode, portrait size images, panoramic images with an aspect ration greater than 16:9, and images too small to be converted into the HDTV format without up-scaling, will automatically converted in letterboxed HDTV format.(2) The HDTV letterboxed original-aspect-ratio mode is ideal for portrait format images, panorama images with an aspect ratio greater than 16:9, or for images, which for artistic reasons, you want to display in the original aspect ratio.(3) The non-letterboxed original-aspect-ratio mode is best for images intended to be shown on digital photo frames, which have 4:3 or 3:2 aspect ratio display panels.The HDTV Converter also creates a new DCF compliant preview thumb, and inserts it into each converted image. You can chose the thumb format to be in the standard 4:3 aspect ratio, or in the 16:9 aspect ratio.Images created by high-quality digital cameras, such as DSLRs, contain many more pixels than can be displayed on a high-definition TV or digital photo frame. If you copy these camera images onto a memory card for use in a HDTV photo player, the large files will fill up the card rapidly, but contribute nothing to the image quality. And unless your camera has the capability to take images in the 16:9 format, and you have used that format, your images will not even fill the screen. The HDTV Converter will convert these camera images into the more efficient 16:9 aspect ratio, 1820x1080 pixel HDTV format. The conversion can be done one image at a time, or in batch mode with up to 400 images per batch.Of course, you can also use the HDTV Converter to convert unedited images from your camera into a 16:9 aspect ration 1820x1080 pixel HDTV format.
