Why are DCC projected images limited to no more than 1024 pixels wide and 768 pixels high?
The projected image size limitation (1024 pixels wide X 768 pixels high) is consistent with an SVGA projector’s capability, which is still the norm. It was also a good size for desktop monitors at one time. Older 17 and 19″ monitors had a native image size of 1024 X 768. Today, most “normal” laptops have 1024 X 768 or 1280 X 768 displays. Desktop monitors are getting larger. Most photo competitions also use this size limit. It is the standard for PSA competitions and study groups. GSCCC and The Bird competitions also use this size constraint. Yes, the projected image competition lends itself to horizontal images. You will always have more image area (pixels) with a horizontal image than a comparable vertical image. Projectors and most computer screens are horizontal devices, which you do not rotate (like a print), so when you show a vertical image so you will inherently have a smaller image. If the image is taller than the display’s native resolution, only part of the picture will be d
