Number of pixels in the image
In 525/60 system (NTSC, DVBK-2000)
The number of pixels in the image differs for DV
equipment, IBM PC/AT (or compatibles) and
Macintosh, but the screen ratio is the same 4:3.
• DV format video: 720 x 480 pixels
• IBM PC/AT (VGA mode), Macintosh (13-inch
mode): 640 x 480 pixels
The reason why DV format has more pixels in the
horizontal direction is that each pixel in DV format is
rectangular; taller than it is wide.
However, since pixels on the PC are square, the image
overflows in the horizontal direction when the DV
software decodes and displays the image. To prevent
this, DV software converts the number of the pixels in
the horizontal direction from 720 to 640 before it
decodes and displays the image.
The image overflows
without conversion.
(Viewer converts the
number of pixels in the
horizontal direction.)
