Depuis quelques années, la tendance pour les modèles haut de gamme est aux écrans DELO(OLED en anglais) et leur variante AMOLED [matrice active à diodes électroluminescentes organiques]. Cette technologie permet d’éteindre chacun des pixels(les petits points qui composent une image numérique) indépendamment les uns des autres, et d’offrir ainsi des noirs profonds. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cran%20%C3%A0%20DELO

The green channel is the cleanest on digital cameras and therefore the sensors deliver less noise. Because of this, green screens are by far [more] popular [than blue screens]. Extremely versatile, green screens work great for indoor, outdoor or studio shoots. And, because of their brightness, you'll be able to get away with using fewer studio lights (thus saving time and money when shooting.) 4, record 2, English, - green%20screen
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
With modern digital cameras, the green color is processed the cleanest with the most luminance. The result is that you'll often be able to pull a clean key with the least amount of noise, and often, without a complicated lighting setup. Conversely, because of green's brightness, it can also lead to more "spill," meaning the green color may reflect and bleed over on your on-screen talent. ... To combat this, ensure that there is sufficient distance between the talent and the green screen background. Green is also an ideal choice if you're compositing in a "daytime" background. Any leftover green can blend better into daytime footage, while it's more challenging to blend green against a darker (or nighttime) background. 5, record 2, English, - green%20screen

Le vert est utilisé surtout en vidéo car les capteurs CCD [dispositif à couplage de charge] des caméras vidéo sont plus sensibles au vert [en] raison de la matrice de Bayer qui alloue plus de pixels pour le canal vert. En plus, grâce à cette sensibilité accrue des capteurs pour la couleur verte, les fonds de cette couleur nécessitent aussi moins de lumière. [...] En outre, le fond vert est préféré au fond bleu pour les tournages vidéo en extérieur.

La résolution des images n’ est pas améliorée, même si votre imprimante laser dispose d’une option postscript, par contre la qualité l'est beaucoup. Postscript est un langage de description de pages permettant la programmation de la mise en page. Les fichiers postscript sont transmis à l'imprimante qui interprète alors les commandes à l'aide d’un RIP(Raster Image Processor). Les textes, les lignes et les images se composent ainsi de pixels définis à partir de formules et d’instructions. Des formules, destinées à la création de lettres, caractères et éléments graphiques, sont par conséquent transmises à la place d’une matrice de points(cette dernière caractérisant les imprimantes matricielles). Cela permet un agencement identique des pages. 2, record 8, French, - processeur%20d%27image%20trame
