Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Summary: Flicker caused by the mismatch between the framerate the video being recorded is at and the framerate of a TV set or other video onscreen. In the age of analog television, TV pictures were transmitted as a series of lines that were drawn on the screen extremely fast. The term for this type of image is "raster," from the Latin "rastrum," meaning "rake." Flatscreens don't do this, and instead produce a moving picture as a series of quick stills, as film does. During the era in which Raster Vision was a genuine phenomenon, movies that showed television tended to aim for Crystal Clear Picture, either using a picture drop-in or a special TV set with the same refresh rate as a film camera (24 frames per second). Actual TV sets (in North America, at least) refreshed at 59.94 fps,note Analog TVs refreshed at the AC power line frequency, which is 50 or 60hz depending on region. American numbers will be used from here on. To get a decent resolution through a limited bandwidth and to have a CRT flicker fast enough to be watchable, interlacing was used. Interlacing means showing odd number scan lines in 1/59.94th of a second, then even number lines in the next 1/59.94th of a second. That meant the framerate was technically 29.97fps, but refresh rate was doubled. If the TV flickered at 30hz, that would be annoying at best, and Epileptic Flashing Lights at worst. and this speed mismatch produced a strong, unpleasant flicker in the filmed image. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Although precursor examples (such as the holograms in Star Wars) existed, Raster Vision became common when film and television production fully entered the digital age. As with Lens Flare before it, Raster Vision - once an unsightly product of technical limitations - became an aesthetic unto itself. Examples in media are one of two types: Genuine: A filmed TV set, with flicker and scan lines. Prior to the advent of videotape,note That's professional videotape, not the consumer VCR and camcorder formats common in The '80s and 90s. First noted with Quadruplex 2 inch videotape in 1956. TV shows (except for Soap Operas) were generally filmed, rather than taped, and will show flicker.note At first, tape equipment was not portable, leading to Video Inside, Film Outside. That was until the advent of portable video cameras in The '80s, such as Betacam. Even after that, some shows such as Friends and Seinfeld were shot entirely on 35mm film. The final complication is that some series (and commercials), such as Star Trek: Deep Space Nine were shot on film, transferred to videotape, then edited on tape. (Recording a TV set with a camera with the same refresh rate and the correct shutter speed doesn't produce flicker). Scan lines are most noticeable on black and white sets, which have a single, uniform layer of greenish-white zinc sulfide on the inside of the picture tube. The different systems for reproducing color have overlaying patterns (known as the Dot Pitch, more info on the other wiki) that obscure the raster effect to a degree. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Simulated: Much more common in 21st century media. Scan lines are often much thicker than they were on CRT televisions - a visibly thick line is impractical for picture reproduction - and appear on flat screens and holograms, neither of which reproduce pictures as raster images. The image may also have more detail than the scan lines should be able to provide. Compare Strobing and Deliberate VHS Quality. Contrast Crystal Clear Picture. The simulated version is commonly used as a Hologram Projection Imperfection. |

In order to recreate the feel of the Nostromo from Alien in Alien: Isolation, CRT screens were videotaped, with that footage then dropped into the game and displayed on in-game screens for the proper analog feel. | |

Perhaps the earliest example comes from "Captain TVideo," a spoof on Captain Video that appeared in a 1954 issue of MAD magazine (still a comic book at the time). Every single panel is covered with hand-drawn horizontal lines, which add to the spoof's running joke that the production values of Captain Video were terrible (which, by all accounts, they were). | |
