Sarjakuvausnopeus

Sarjakuvausnopeus, often translated as frame rate or frames per second (FPS), refers to the frequency at which consecutive images, called frames, are displayed in a motion picture, animation, video game, or other sequential visual medium. It is a measure of how smoothly motion appears to the viewer. A higher sarjakuvausnopeus generally results in smoother and more realistic motion, while a lower sarjakuvausnopeus can lead to a choppy or stuttering appearance.

The standard sarjakuvausnopeus for film has historically been 24 frames per second. Television broadcasts typically operate at higher rates, such as 25 FPS (PAL) or 29.97 FPS (NTSC), to reduce flicker. In modern digital technologies, sarjakuvausnopeus can vary widely. Video games often aim for high sarjakuvausnopeus, with 60 FPS being a common target for smooth gameplay, and some systems supporting even higher rates. Higher sarjakuvausnopeus requires more data to be processed and displayed, demanding more powerful hardware and faster data transfer. Conversely, lower sarjakuvausnopeus can be used for stylistic effect or to reduce computational load.
