We call it the ‘Perfect Downscaling Factor’. You can see why this is important if you look at the specification of the competitors. Regardless of the size, all of the EVF’s (Cineroid, Zacuto and SmallHD) have the resolution of 800*480 which has a downscaling factor of 2.4 (1920/800=2.4) horizontally and 2.25 (1080/480=2.25) vertically.
When you have to downscale full HD video to match the lower resolution LCD panel, there’s a significant difference in picture quality if the downscaling factor is an integer.
The EVF-035W-3G shows 1 out of every 2 pixels. However, if the downscaling factor is not an integer (i.e : 2.4 or 2.25), some of the horizontal and vertical pixels cannot be reproduced in a correct way. Hence, fine details, particular those or accurate focusing, cannot be reproduced.
Of course it’s best if you don’t need to downscale the video from the camera. But, if you have to downscale due to the limitation of the LCD panel, it’s better to have the downscaling factor of 2 rather than 2.4 or 2.25. You can verify this benefit simply by loading 1 pixel-width horizontal- or vertical lines in full HD resolution to the monitors or EVF’s.
The resolution of the 3.5” Retina (iPhone 4) display is 960*640 as you may know.
