Limit resolution actor
-
Hi!
I do not see the "limit resolution actor" anymore. deprecated? will come back? alternative?thanks!
-
it is depreciated. (seen as red in version 2.x)
You are probably best to use the new Scaler (supports GPU and CPU)
-
thank you very much sir.
-
Well, the main reason I deprecated this actor was because I didn't have any signal that it was being used. But I guess it was. It's not such a difficult job to update it for GPU and CI.Anyone else? Is this actor useful?Best,Mark
-
well, scaler seems to be the same, except for lacking the "force4:3" feature. any other difference?
-
They are very different. Scaler scales to a specified fixed resolution. Limit Resolution only scales if the resolution exceeds a specified threshold.
Best,
Mark
-
got it.
for what I am currently doing with the actor, scaler does the job.
-
I don't seem to need something different than scaler
-
I guess the usefulness of this actor is if you, let's say, have a bin of pictures with many different resolutions, and then you're using the 'picture' input of the movie player to switch between them. If the resolution goes above a certain point, the Limit Resolution actor would jump in and ensure that the resolution is not too high.
On the other hand, a better rule of thumb would be to have all the pictures at the size you want them in the first place. So I guess I won't worry about this actor.Best Wishes,Mark
