What is "Downsampling" in Cameras?

A lot of times when recording a video or taking a picture, the camera will use what's called downsampling to get a better looking image. This is done by taking a much larger resolution image, and shrinking it to the size you want to use. Here I explain why downsampling is used and how it works.

[@billyhatcher643]

Red Jarl its the same guy dumbass

[@Blemboy]

nice points! I was really informed, do you have any videos about customizing settings in GPU

[@getrolli469]

ThioJoe face is my screensaver, wallpaper, unlock screen.

[@getrolli469]

+Gareth Reus Where can I download UNIX ?

[@sharks445]

downsampling is also used to reduce aliasing in video games, where the GPU renders the frame at a high than native resolution, and down samples it to native, reducing jagged edges, a process called supersampling

[@eltouristoduo]

Nice vid ! I want it to downsample IN THE CAMERA so I don't have to deal with 4k recordings. Is that a thing? (im not talking about zooming or cropping, but just getting higher quality 1080) I want a list of SLR-like cameras that do that form 4k to 1080. LIke a list of all them. For example does the Canon M50 do it? >I think maybe the EOS-R does it?

[@DJRanoia]

So whats better looking 4k or a 4k footage downscaled to 1080p?

[@YoloMonstaaa]

+1

[@seumadruga2945]

+DJ Ranoia 4k footage.

[@factsverse9957]

4k footage.

[@dhulme]

Seems a bit misleading of manufacturers? Claiming 1080p when it really isn't?

[@dronenepean5775]

That’s basically native 4K right?

[@scoman44]

Very interesting, I did not know about this.

[@javanild0]

Nice Vid Thio!

[@nocopyrightsoundsvideoncsv5320]

hi can you help me how to fix multimedia audio controller using windows vista

[@notmichael8288]

So whats better? 1080P or 4k downscaled to 1080P.

[@akashiluddi]

I just watched a ThioJoe video then i watched a ThioJoeTech video

[@ziv4545]

please do a video about the boot loop problom in windows, its will help a lot of pepole

[@Some_Random_O_O]

I use mobile for this reason when they upload a 1080p and I watch it in 720p60 it's much more sharp than something uploaded at 720p60 which is we're down sampling comes in to play

[@kuci1986]

helped little bit , couldn`t figure out all "You need to write book about Downsampling for DUmmies " ... or make a video about DSR , even 2 min video would be nice

[@factsverse9957]

1 pixel is red green and blue combined.

[@thebossofbox]

maybe do an video about nvidias Supersampling?

[@ThioJoeTech]

Possibly, but it's basically the same thing as I describe here, except for rendering video games.

[@greenyoshi24]

+ThioJoeTech I'd watch it, because it's still that lil bit of difference to be learned

[@andrewhumphreys9020]

Unless he incorporates Linux in the video and advertises it the that is a horrible idea.

[@jordanjohnson714]

+Andrew Humphreys Having a random advert for Linux in a video, especially if it's unrelated, is a horrible idea.

[@andrewhumphreys9020]

Jordan Johnson Are you telling me that you use windows? Are you some kind of gay shit? Wait... No, you are a gay fuck!

[@Snow-rk4el]

has anyone noticed the werid puppet thing in the bottom right of the screen?

[@ThioJoeTech]

It's a golfer, supposed to sit on the shelf i guess

[@Snow-rk4el]

+ThioJoeTech Ah okay, I have been wondering what it was for ages. Also your videos are awesome and your Mac vs PC video made me laugh. Keep it up m8.

[@Keksmonster31]

+ThioJoeTech Looks like Teemo to me.

[@YoloMonstaaa]

Are ultrawide monitors really that great for gaming? How about VR headsets for gaming? Should I upgrade my monitor to a ultrawide or save up for a VR headset for gaming?

[@michaelzander]

Can you flex your muscles in the next video, like the comment if you think he should!

[@marianpalko2531]

So FullHD downscaled from 4K is better than native 4k? Yeah... Cool story bro.

[@temmorijken5762]
