Remastered pictures

I found a site that compares the remastered episodes from TNG to the original can someone include them in the respective episode articles?--FossilLord 05:32, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

It's a well known site that has been around for several years. I don't think we do a comparison gallery of remastered images as a general rule, unless the remastering alters something significantly which is worthy of comment. --| TrekFan Open a channel 06:45, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
Besides Ex Astris Scientia is mentioned in the TNG section, including what they do--Sennim (talk) 07:09, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
I agree. Ex Astris Scientia is the more appropriate site for analysis and comparison of remastered images. --| TrekFan Open a channel 19:25, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
Are you sure those two TMO pics labeled right? The "enhanced" one looks much worse. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.88.89.135

U.S. HDTV

"Anything upward from 720p is considered HD as opposed to the old television standard-definition (SD) of 480i (for America)"

Actually, NTSC video is 525i not 480i (which is more of a Quicktime standard size for NTSC). And anything here in America better than NTSC is referred to as High Definition (ATSC), including 720p.

Downscaling and spatial resolution

That segment sounds weird. Maybe someone can make sure that what's meant is really not that the downscaled footage looks better than it would have if it had been recorded in that lower resolution natively. I can't quite believe that the downscaled material would look better than the higher resolution material it was created from. Downscaling is done for supersampling; the same approach that drives conventional anti-aliasing techniques. Through interpolation, some of the detail from the higher-res material can be incorporated into the lower-res material; which is a process that, if attempred to apply on the low-res material natively, would amount to unsharpness. --79.219.26.115 02:56, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Canon question

When the controversial TOS Remastered came out and people realized that there was more than simply cleanup going on, they were actually replacing elements with new creations, I recall there were debates as to what was canonical: the remastered versions or the originals. There were similar questions raised regarding Star Wars canon when the Special Edition of A New Hope had Greedo shooting first and Boba Fett with Jabba the Hutt - was it now canon or was the original, Han-shooting-first and Boba-less version the canon version? Was there ever a resolution to this? The fact both versions are on Blu-ray has probably muddied the waters as opposed to the Star Wars revisions which, for a time at least, became the only versions available; they likely wanted to do the same with TOS but there were so many complaints about the remastered episodes they ended up upconverting the originals too. 23skidoo (talk) 02:05, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
