- Well, I would draw an analogy between Snappy doing 1500x1500 and your 9pin
- printer getting NLQ output at a high print density.
-
- Snappy samples the video signal with multiple passes and interpolates the
- data to get a higher resolution.
-
- But, if you are only using a consumer VHS VCR don't expect the quality to
- be that great. It will be ok but not ultra sharp.
