darkness. To illuminate the subject's scoring sheets during the subjective assess-

were attached to the clipboard used for voting by each subject.
The physical dimensions of the screen are 5 meters by 12 meters (H x W); as a
result the observation at 1H is equal to observation at 5 meters from the screen. To
get a viewing distance of 1H, subjects must be seated in the front rows of the thea-

close to the lower border of the screen, and is uncomfortable for the subjects. For
this reason, a viewing distance of 2H was selected. Consequently, the test sub-
