Re: Feb 2009 legal or not legal

[Jeff Bernstein] "If you look at the actual reasons for some of these specs, namely luminance capped at 100IRE, you will find that this was necessary because analog 'birds' or satellites have an issue where if that luminance goes over 100IRE, it bleeds into the audio subcarrier, which then causes an audio buzz. Similarly, the same thing could happen with B & W TVs with tube electronics (not just the CRT)."

This started long before there was a satellite other than the real moon. We had to watch video levels in B&W or the Transmitter would buzz and even in some instances kick off momentarily. Of course the color was started long before tyoe C 1". Our old 2" tapes could not handle chroma that high.

I believe in keeping standards not because someone told me to, but until someone tells me there is not 1 TV out there in the entire world that can not handle these signals, I will continue to produce with a standard of quality that I respect.

Oh by the way, I probably will not be producing much longer since I have decided to retire as of October 1 this year.
