[opendtv] Re: 1080P Question

Yes, there are lots of 1080p/60 (and 1080p/50) customers.  All the digital 
cable we make is now tested to 4.5 GHz  (the third harmonic of the occupied 
bandwidth of 1080p/60).  Evertz told me that they're selling as much 1080p/60 
equipment as regular HD (1080i/720p).  I think there are three basic reasons:
1.  1080p/60 makes a great Master Format to convert to 1080i or 720p with NO 
artifacts.
2. There are 1080p BluRay players and displays/projectors. When 1080p becomes a 
viable broadcast format, you will be given a Gold Star for shooting in 
1080p/60, since your content can be sold again (and again)
3. 1080p/60 is borderline theatrical, some would say ACTUAL theatrical release, 
so you can multipurpose your gear for TV or Movies - or anything inbetween.
As far as the cable goes, just remember that 1080p/60 distance are less than 
1080i or 720p.  I would be glad to send the latest distance charts.

Does 1080p/60 format is actually used for production or postproduction?
