Re: 8 bit uncompressed looks soft on (SLAP !)

I don't often participate on this forum, but read this thread with great interest. I feel for Delano, but having built a cable head end system, you guys just have no idea. I am sure that Delano's Beta master is just fine.

Let's take a nice Beta SX master (for example). You take the COMPOSITE VIDEO out of the Beta SX VTR (this could be Digi Beta, this could be Beta, etc.), you send it into a COMPOSITE ROUTER. The output of the router goes into an ANALOG COMPOSITE Frame Sync TBC (let's degrade it further, so we can make sure those video levels are not illegal), and THEN we send it into the COMPOSITE input of a Harmonic MPEG Encoder, so it can be sent to the on air server. "Your kidding me", you are saying right now - NO I WISH I WAS KIDDING. This is typical of what your multi million dollar cable system does with your pristine master tape. AND THEN it may get routed to a satellite (if it's not a wired cable system).

I am about to do (next month) an SDI head end, but it's now 2008, and it's been YEARS since anyone even considered this.
And STANDARD BETA VTR's will be continued to be used (along with an AJA HD10AVA to convert to SDI). So much for a pure digital path.

Welcome to real life. Stop driving yourself crazy.
