Report Offensive Message

There is a slight bit of backlash from shows like this
I manage the video surveillance system at my company. Every once in a while someone will ask to review a recording and at some point will ask me to "enhance" the video. Some people think that if techie on TV can use a tool to zoom in on a person's tattoo 500 feet away to positively identify him as the killer, it must be real. Video "enhancement" is a mostly a myth. You can zoom in but you can't capture images beyond the camera's ability and any algorithm that can clear up an image makes guesses at what the image should look like.
I don't mind product placement as long as they show a product doing what it is truly capable of doing.
Like someone already said, the NCIS techie is probably using the RT to remote into more powerful systems. It can do that. - but it won't be able to enhance video. happy
