Not bad.
- Video Separation : -0.5 -
I'm impressed, actually.
- Scene Transition : -0.0 -
Very minor jumping (or settling). I didn't take any points off.
- Calibration : -0.5 -
Looks a bit compressed into the mid region. In other words, very dark scenes
are too bright (or has a lot of noise) and very bright scenes are too dark.
- Other : -0.5 -
For weird blurring of parts of some frames.
Comments:
Feathering is about average. That's bad. I don't want any.
First image is mix of 5 consecutive frames. First frame is mixed transition
frame with 1 field from previous frame and 1 field from next frame. Second
frame is the first complete frame after transistion. Third frame is 1 after
that. Note how there is slight feathering everywhere because field2 of frame3
is slightly lower than field1. It's the "sinking slightly after scene
transition" problem. Frame4 and 5 are more or less identical except frame5
sinks a bit more. I don't think this was intended to sink like that.
Second image shows weird, unexplainable fuzziness on part of the frame. Look
at Sakura's chin area. This is definitely not normal. Most other area of the
frame is fine. And, no, she's not moving. I can't imagine what could cause
this, but this is very annoying on big-screen. Well, almost every little
defect is annoying on big-screen.
