i'm going to assume that's rhetorical and that you don't really think i know a lot about lamps ;)
though thinking about it, with two shades you'd get two different diffusions at the same time, a brighter light nearer the lamp itself and softer further away.
however i can't imagine it'd be all that effective with those shades, plus they're hideous.
imho i think that rooms just crying out for a plasma ball.

The World's Largest (read, Only) Animated GIF Distribution Network...
Hi b3tans, old user here (misteralfie way back when)but posting for High Art and B3tans coming together as Bus-Tops. Some of you may have seen the link Eight posted here: www.b3ta.com/links/741152
Basically we've made a network of big red LED screens that are scattered around London (20 boroughs) and live on the roofs of bus shelters. Tomorrow is the first day that work created by the public is sent to them (they have run through January with new work from Mark Titchner).
The screens themselves are super good at displaying GIFs though their fundamental constraints are:
* Not too much variable brightness per LED (so don't represent lots of tonal ranges brilliantly)
* 256x80 aspect ratio (the aspect ratio of a bus shelter!)
* Animations longer than 10 seconds not great due to passenger time at shelter
* Best works are those of high contrast and good separation between objects - think Frank Miller's work for best results.
Another constraint is that cocks (glass, crude or other) would need an incredibly convincing pretext to make it from the web to a screen :)
So if you're interested by all means have a look at the site and please, not too many cocks? bus-tops.com
ta!

Wow, you're so old.
Is 256x80 the pixel resolution of the signs? If an animation loops, how many loops get played? How high can the frame rate go?
( ,
Tue 31 Jan 2012, 18:22,
archived)
no reminders please
256x80 is the absolute resolution, and anything uploaded via the tool at /create/ will be resized to this. Any multiple is of course fine. All animations are looped infinitely, but the number of times any file is played is determined by playlist programming on the server so doesn't really factor in.Frame rate is maxed out at 12.5 as we've multiplexed so many LED panels together but we suggest 10FPS to be safe.

indeed
though it's literally a function of the number of screens we have multiplexed to create the size of screen we have. With a smarter controller we could get a higher frame rate but that's a) what version 2's are for and b) a creative constraint!

Get posting!
That would be so good. One thing - RED= LIGHTS ON; BLACK - LIGHTS OFF. Black as the background and separating objects in the frame with as high a contrast as possible whilst doing one's best to preserve detail is the name of the game.
Frankly, 8 bit animations work the best.

Why can't you have red as the background and black as the foreground?
What's special about a light being on that means it has to be foreground? RIS?

good question
If you think about it in terms of contrast, what you have is a 3.2m x 1m screen, ENTIRELY LIT UP. With some black bits that aren't. In terms of how negative space is used effectively it is far better to have the foreground objects light and the background black. That said, as long as the separations between the objects in frame are good (these are all excellent examples: bus-tops.com/people/Mark_Titchner/ ) then all is swell.

Nope, still not getting it.
If you had, say, a black line drawing on a red background displayed on a luxury TV screen, that might be an even bigger screen, ENTIRELY LIT UP, with some black bits that aren't. It would look fine.

sure
but this is a very low fidelity Monochromatic LED screen with minimal variable brightness (tonal range) across the LED's at a 1cm pitch with a viewing distance of only 2.2 metres.

I feel sure this is something to do with the reason it can't adequately display black on a red background.
I wonder what the connection is.

I get you
but it can display black on a red background totally fine, as long as there are few grades of colour used and there are very clear separations throughout (mark Titchner's example are good)

Whahey!
It looks like the problem is actually something to do with light leaking into nearby pixels. So if you have a lot of pixels lit up, the few remaining dark ones will be half-lit-up, whereas if you have a lot of pixels dark, the few that are lit up will not be darkened (since dark isn't a thing and doesn't leak). LEAKAGE.

I think it's to do with the controllers attempts to interpolate colour to a brightness variable and failing horribly.

Ooh
Why would it do a thing like that? Just add the three channels and divide by the maximum brightness, how hard can it be? I mean divide by three, or something. Whatever gets you the maximum brightness when they're all 255.

hmmn`
well, in it's defense I think it's largely down to the fact that you only have 256x80 and a 1cm pitch. it then tries to render finely detailed works where 25 pixels on the image is rendered by something like 3 on the screen.
( ,

That doesn't account for what it did to Bob's 256x80 image.
That image was already 256x80 in the first place.

hmm
you may be right. I think it must come down to the previously noted inability of the controllers to accurately pin down variable brightnes between 0 and 255. Coupled with viewing angle and distance.

Does nyan cat work fine on the real screen, or do some of the values also turn out wrong?

Or how about this version of the monkey animation:
I removed everything that isn't in the red channel. So now it's 8-bit, right?

Sure, but even the basic average method produces a tolerable image, not one apparently covered in mildew spots
See this section of the image from the big screen above?
See the dark part in the middle, that looks vaguely like a peeled banana? In the original, that has red value 173 (and zeroes in the other channels). See the light pixels surrounding it? In the original, those have red value 172 (and zeroes in the other channels). The only difference in the input is the least significant bit, but the difference in the output is really big.

Hmm
Maybe wraparound? Depending on how the values are handled, a value of 258 can end up as 2 (258-255). Hard to say without getting into the guts of the code.

Yes, I was thinking that, integer overflow
except there's no good reason for an overflow to occur at that boundary between 172 and 173, unless there's something scaling the 172 up to some 2^N-1, and though I fiddled around with the calculator for ages I couldn't find any reasonable way for that to happen. To get the 255/256 boundary you have to scale them both up by around 1.48; so that doesn't seem to mean anything. If you multiply by three, they just miss the 511/512 boundary: 172*3 is 516. Maybe *3 and then minus 5? Why, though?

This is getting far too geeky
The only thing I could think of was bad handling of signed/signed bytes. Then you get wraparound/overflow at 127. Java did it to me a lot when I ported a bunch of my old c/c++ code (the bastard, *shakes fist*).
[edit] Using the luminance algorithm, 173 * 0.72 is 124(ish), which is pretty close to the boundary.
[editedit] Except 0.72 is the factor for the green channel. Fucksocks!
