Define the following ………. : Fresh (i.e. freshly made) Homemade Commerical (i.e. commerical-grade parts) Professional (i.e. professional grade) The answer to the above (including your question) is that the word and/or phrase allows the reader to define it for himself and therefore has a multitude of meanings without a specific one. ("fresh" could mean anywhere from "just made/produced/picked/or delivered to a point just before rotten/spoiled/old/or obsolete.) ("Homemade" could have a meaning from "cooked by your mother" to "not commericially produced") and so it goes …………. The ad agencies call these words or terms hype. BTW – This response is of the highest "Professional Quality". jam ("Commercial" could mean "better than average" or "of lesser quality than average")

Well put, Joe! It strikes me that the only non-arbitrary definition of broadcast quality is what the FCC will allow to be broadcast (without fining you!) — ie. RS-170 compliant signal, especially 7.5 IRE set up, 100 IRE peaks, and the timing right. Bob

Just about every video camera made that can output a 525 scan line signal complies with 170. jam
