Hi Stefan,

usually, the traditional TV standards (NTSC, SECAM and PAL) feature low 
screen resolutions between 720H480V to 720H576V (horizontal/vertical) 
pixels. That means, your pictures don't need to be much bigger, unless they 
want to have a full-detailed camera move above it. If it is a plain display 
of your image, these screen resolutions should be okay.

But in any case, I suggest that you start a brief communication with them, 
as well. Whatever rules do exist in theory, the praxis of life can look 
quite different.

Here are some useful links:

language, just take the numbers of pixels, very easy)

Greetings,

Sven
