[net.analog] "Everyday" example of Oversampling

keithe@tekgvs.UUCP (Keith Ericson) (05/08/86)

Let me give you another example of oversampling: your local movie
theater. The movie is "shot" at 24 frames per second. But if it were
shown at that rate no one would be able to put up with the blinking
of the screen! To prevent this, each frame is shown twice; a light-gate
interrupts the projection of each frame, thereby creating a 48 frame
per second display. In the darkend environs of a theater you are hardly
distracted by this blink rate.
