yay

sounds like a lot of ppl need to improve their antialiasing routines now :P

Bonus: Seminar info has been published, too.

Scamp (& rest of BP team): that´s just pure awesomeness! :) - every year I get this feeling that I wont regret to go to Breakpoint (well... personally I need my "fix" anyway)

Great surprise!

WOW! Kool stuff....I guess I wont be sitting(read lying) at the front 3 meters from screen (Azzaro Style) this year....

oh, and the compo pc specs are only too now.

Yes, Azarro was actually less than a meter looking up at bpo6 (he wasnt at bp07)

anyway, cheers to bp orginizers for making bp HD !!

only? online. :)

wow... niceness

Hmm, maybe someone should pimp up Rob is Jarig for the new bigscreen ;-)

indeed.

I WON!!! I SAID 1080P PROJECTOR!!!
MUAHAHAHAAHAHAH!!! I'm more 1337 than you alll!!!

xer: no, ryg won. he said TWO projectors. :)

Wow! Can't wait to see my 160x100 Amiga effects running with 7cm pixels! :-D

Blueberry, in fact the pixels of C64 and Amiga demos will be about as big as before (those platforms are 4:3 which means the image won't be that much bigger, it always has been limited by the height of the hall :). But we could make the edges between them sharper *g*

But if the demo is actually in a widescreen format and thus not using the full height, it could presumably be scaled to fit the whole screen? With everything prerecorded, that doesn't seem like a hard thing to do.

Assembly 2007 had sort of a similar problem, only in reverse. They were running widescreen on a (small) 4:3 screen, which meant that 4:3 format entries were shown with borders all around, which looked rather silly.

sparcus: let's do rob is hires! :D

Blueberry: *Maybe*. The problem is that we rely on hardware DV playback to make sure we don't drop any frames, but DV is fixed-resolution and 4:3. Depending on exactly which video mixer we end up with, we might be able to fix this in real time, but don't hold your breath :)

That makes sense. Perfect 50Hz playback is of course much more important than filling out the whole screen.

Scamp: Congrats, that's a huge thing (*smile*) for Breakpoint :)

Congratulations, gentlemen. That's a great improvement indeed.

looking forward to trying this out - lets hope the compomachine's gfxcard is man enough to handle the res. :)

smash:

wow!! Awesome dudes! can't wait to see the compos!! :D

ryg, if i make a real wild with a fixed screen size (4:3 in my case), can i submit my own recording of it that's 16:9 and drops the black borders on top and bottom? not that i've got any clue on how to record textmode but that's next issue :-)

i think blueberry is right; it'd be most awesome if the screen could actually be used by all platforms, and not only modern pc demos.
