- JPEGonDCTV version 1.00, copyright 1994 by Nicolas Dade
-
- What is it?
-
- It's a jpeg viewer that can display both color and greyscale
- jpegs using the DCTV display device.
-
-
- Why this one?
-
- o It's faster than VT or FastJPEG: for a 640x480 jpeg:
- JPEGonDCTV 1:07 for color, 4plane interlaced (the usual case)
- JPEGonDCTV 0:31 for greyscale, 3 plane non-interlaced (a quick fullsize)
- JPEGonDCTV 0:08 for color preview, 3 plane non-interlaced (a small peek)
- FastJPEG1.00 1:35
- VT1.05 3:10
- (times measured on 7.14Mhz 68010 machine w/ ample fastram)
- o It has a preview mode (that doesn't need thumbnail images)
- o It handles true greyscale jpegs too.
- o It outputs directly to the DCTV display, which is a lot prettier than
- lores interlaced ham6.
- o The aspect ratio of the image and the aspect ratio of the display mode
- are obeyed: no more tall faces and oval circles! (Both VT and FastJPEG
- neglect this completely)
- o It sanity-checks much more of the jpeg file than VT and FastJPEG do.
-
-
- What do I need?
-
- o a DCTV display box.
- o the dctv.library. This came with your DCTV unless you have an early
- version. If not, or of you want the newest version, it's available on
- aminet.
- o Some jpeg images. :)
