Don >> I might be inclined to pay 3X more for double the horizontal pixels so that I could attain full broadcast 700 line res. standard. << Greg was talking about this too saying that D1 has less horizontal lines of resolution than SVHS even. Where does this idea come from? I followed Greg's reasoning but neither Quantel or Textronix would substantiate the claim that a line of resolution had double the pixels. This perception suggests that somehow you're loosing lines of resolution because of the spacing between lines. If you've got documentation for this claim I'd be really interested. The Matrox Ill Pro meets CCIR 601 specification with 720×486 pixels and the specification calls for 720×486 so where does this "double the horizontal pixels" stuff come from? Seriously, this is madness.<g>
