I'm very interested in how HD JPEGs show up on a Tivo Series 3 using this new software. If someone can report on that, via Comments or otherwise, I'm sure we'd all appreciate it.
Some things I'd like to see some info on:
-- whether there's still an unused black box around the image (current Tivo Desktop doesn't use the full height or width of the screen)
-- how does it handle undersized or oversized images? Does it scale them properly? Are there options for how you want to scale over- or under-sized pictures?
-- What happens if you have a 1080 TV? Is the output mode reset to 720? Or does it scale the image to 720, then up it to 1080 for display (thus possibly making the image look crappy, depending on how they scale it)?
Surely I'm not the only person in the world looking for a device that can display decent, hi-res HD JPEG image slideshows, without barfing at a horrendous implementation of the concept? I mean, come on, CE manufacturers, how hard can implementing HD JPEG slideshows BE?
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
