I need more than 8K. I'm working at microscopic levels when I study minerals, I need as much resolution as I can possibly get, to the limit of optical diffraction.
- kstrauser 2y agoAre you actually recording movies of them though? Honest question. I hope I learn something about studying minerals!
- lightedman 2y agoYes. I do record videos for research purposes. Watching how a crystal reacts to various forms of radiation (primarily various bands of UV) gives me an idea of what impurities it might contain, or clues to composition from known emission spectra. That's recorded simultaneously through OBS with my voice doing a voiceover as I perform irradiation of the sample. Mineral goes into modified integrated sphere, sphere gets sealed, sample is illuminated, study begins.
- kstrauser 2y agoHuh! That sounds fascinating. I'd love to see something like that.
- lightedman 2y agoSome times I do live broadcasts for a group of hobbyists and degree-holding geologists. the bandwidth to do compressed 16K already exists for me, just not the tooling at the moment. Trying to show something that is literally one pixel at 400x magnification at 1080p is no fun. Even a few more pixels helps.
