Hi Guys

My boss is having trouble getting his iPod to display decent quality pictures on his HDTV.

He has told me that the pictures on the iPod are the original files (i.e. shot at about 6 or 7 megapixels) and, when displayed on his TV, produce very poor and pixelated images.

Is he doing something wrong? Does he perhaps need special hardware to achieve the quality that he wants?

Are any of you getting superb images on your TV from your iPod? If so, can you please share your methods?

Cheers,

Martin
 
If he's syncing the photos via iTunes, I believe it reformats the files to suit the iPods display and to save space.
which model iPod is it?
 
I'm not 100% sure of the model, but he only bought it new about a year ago. I think it's an 80gb or 120gb classic.
 
There is an option in iTunes that you have to select to make sure it keeps the originals on it and not reworked copies
 
many thanks - I'll pass on your words to the boss.

How is he connecting the Ipod to the tv?

My phone has a tv out function and I can put a 12mp image on the phone which looks great on it but crap on the tv as the tv out facility has a really poor resolution (640x480).

I would assume it's the same on the IPOD.
 
The output will most likely be restricted by the cable, the image may be 6-7mp but the cable will probably only allow an image of 480p (640x480) or whatever the standard resolution is. Just my guess.

I think this may have changed in the newer ipods, (touch etc) I used to have an ipod video and as long as I copied the actual image and not a scaled version it looked great when displayed on the TV.

I used to use the svideo out from the universal doc to do so
