Re: Safe Action Title

[Tony Quinsee-Jover <tony(at)hdheaven.co.uk>]

Hiya,

All but the very worst setup CRT TVs (old or new, makes no difference)
will show in excess of Safe Action area - that's why it's called the
"Safe" area.

The majority will show more than that
Some will show a lot more than that
Most will show more on one side than the other - it's rare they're even
around the image centre.

LCDs and Plasmas are less variable, but they still vary.

If the client wants to know exactly how it'll look on his TV at home,
he'll need to bring his TV to the edit ;-)

Sorry, but there ain't no rules - that's the whole reason for safe
areas.

Regards,
Tone :)
