#What is Bcast Quality
Hello all,
Another user has been asking me about "broadcast quality" from hard disk
recorders ala the PAR. I've gotten out of my depth, so I thought I'd
throw the question(s) to the floor.
1. What constitutes broadcast quality as of Jan. 1995, beyond the
technical specs of RS-170A (or whatever it is)?
2. Are there any hard disk recorders that offer direct to air quality?
3. How serious is the artifacting on JPEG, Motion JPEG, MPEG and MPEG II
codecs?
4. What will likely be accepted for broadcast (i.e. Beta, BetaSP, M-II,
D1, D2, etc.) by:
a) Cable access
b) local broadcast stations
c) networks
5. Is there a FAQ around on this stuff?
BTW, I never introduced myself to the forum. I'm a Navy helicopter pilot
who dabbles in video and animation via 2 toasters and LW. And no, I
wasn't there, I was in Antarctica in OCT '91. 🙂
TIA,
Kent
