HD Distro: Disc vs Broadcast
Posted: Wed Jun 27, 2007 4:10 pm
For your general information, here is today's comment from "One to One," a promotional mail sent on behalf of DVD manufacturers:
Note that I don't know whether Frost is right, but I find it interesting....if we thought it is taking a long time and a huge amount of effort to get BD/HD DVD off the ground, it really seems quite easy compared to the pain and suffering that broadcasters are going through...
...with BD and HD DVD we have an unrestricted streams of 36Mb/s to over 50Mb/s, broadcasters are limited to a third of that at best. End result? As HD broadcasting rolls out with high compression ratios and material sourced at 720i instead of 1080p, consumers will soon find out that it does look better on disc, in fact a great deal better...
