Viewing experience and film making with HDTV-arguments for a scientific discussion. I
Abstract
Still more than one open question is hidden behind handy formulations like 'telepresence' and 'HDTV-production-grammar'. By means of human factors experiments carried out in the frame of a research project at Heinrich-Hertz-Institut Berlin, the author investigated in more detail the special characteristic features which distinguish the subjective HDTV viewing experience and under what conditions the desired effects reach their optimum. In this field sound results can only be expected on a basis of clear-cut working models of the combined action of the many potential influencing factors. As a result of preliminary studies two concepts of telepresence are up for discussion. They not only differ with regard to the predicted subjective HDTV-experience but also to the consequences for film making and editing.
