Hi folks!
I was hoping everyone could help me understand some LPTV basics.
I've been partner now in a diginet for over two years. One thing I'm not
understanding is the fact that almost all of our affiliate stations, when we go
to ship them our playback device, almost all of them request a composite output.
Composite is analog.
The output of the playout device is digital HDMI.
The broadcast standard is digital.
So aren't the affiliates taking a digital output, converting it to analog, then
converting it back to digital again?
Why is this done? Is it because many folks don't have HDMI encoders?
Thanks!Norm
