Tech/Engineering - Computers (general) | | Japanese term or phrase: ピクセル等倍表示 | A discription in a catalog.
ピクセル等倍表示機能 |
| | | English translation:equal pixel display (mode?) | Explanation:
In a Digital CCD camera, one pixel represents one dot, but dot contains 32 bit information with time. It can be color hew, it can be strength of light, and it can be the information of change sequence of them. So, dot is not practical translation.
There is a camera that captures still images and movie image at same pixel representation. In other words, while the still picture usually have something like 4 million pixels, much more pixels than movie, which is 640x480=307200 pixel, . In equal pixel representation, the still image is less resolution than its potential still capabilities.
So if this catalogue is trying to convey, something like that, you must say <pixel>pixel.
It says 等倍 as multiplication, it may be talking about magnification. I believe the word 倍 here is nominal meanings. It can be 等価. For example, the CCD pixel count is equal to the finder pixel count. There is no magnification in terms of resolution. pixel to pixel representation is a better term. If the finder display does not have resolution as high as the CCD image capture device, then the resolution in the finder is less than what might have been captured.
Usually, when the camera has anti-vibration system, it reserves some pixels to offset the vibration noise by algorithm, so the pixel to pixel display is not achieved at the finder nor at digital recording. element.

「ピクセル等倍表示」に該当する英語の表現は以下のように様々なものがありますが、"Just Scan mode"などは厳密には"1:1 pixel mapping"とは異なり、実質的な「ピクセル等倍表示」が可能なモードという程度の意味であるようです:
1:1 pixel mapping
pixel-by-pixel mapping
dot-by-dot (mapping)
native format
PC mode
1:1 mode
native (dot-by-dot) mode
Just Scan mode
Even if you don't know what 1:1 pixel mapping is, you probably think your TV supports it. If your TV does support this viewing mode, odds are it isn't on by default. 1:1 pixel mapping means your TV is capable of displaying the image sent to it pixel for pixel, without scaling or processing the video in any way. In other words, if your TV is fed 1920x1080p, then it displays 1920x1080p. Believe it or not usually your digital LCD, DLP or even Plasma takes the 1920x1080 image, shaves off a few lines and displays it. The reason isn't a good one, but it's 'cause TVs have had overscan so long that when digital TVs came along they actually engineered overscan into the set. This is not the case at all on computer monitors, where even one missing line is noticed. So if you want to see if your TV is capable of showing you the whole picture, look it up in your manual for a "pc mode" or even "dot by dot", or just head over to the AVSForum for a comprehensive list of HDTVs that support this elusive feature.

When a display is placed into non-scaling mode, also called 1 to 1, 1:1, dot-by-dot, pixel-by-pixel, or native* format, the HD image source from DirecTV via an H20-600 has a gap at the top of the image.

PowerStrip can also help you by making a custom resolution inside a standard timing. Ideally you do not want to do this with your PC, the HDTV should have a 1:1 mode (also called 'dot-by-dot', 'pixel-by-pixel', or 'Just Scan') which removes the overscan, overscan is not necessary for a digital display, especially when it is being fed a digital source.

I have the overscan setting on the macbook turned on plus 1:1 pixel mapping turned on and this gives a perfect picture. The setting is also known as 'pc mode' or 'dot by dot'.

Many newer HDTVs are including a dot-by-dot or PC mode where they display the true resolution that is being output by a device without overscan.

ドットバイドット 【dot by dot】
ディスプレイに映像などを再生する際の表示モードの一つで、再生機器の持つ映像情報の1ピクセルを、ディスプレイの1ドットに対応させる方式。拡大・縮小などの処理を加えずに、そのまま表示することを意味する。
http://e-words.jp/w/E38389E38383E38388E38390E382A4E38389E383...
The "Dot by Dot" refers to exact pixel by pixel representation on the display.

Dot by Dot means just display the input signal without any stretching or zooming.
http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=...
I'm pretty sure dot by dot means 1:1 pixel mapping, i.e. you need to set your
video card to the same resolution as your tv expects and can handle so no
overscan / scaling.

]The dot-by-dot means that the scaling process is not executed on a video
signal and an image is displayed directly according to the number of pixels of
the display.

Dot by Dot means 1:1 mapping, yes - no scaling.

Sharps usually have a View Mode setting called "Dot by Dot" for setting the
screen exactly to be pixel-for-pixel the same as the input.
