Thanks. I guess my other perhaps now-irrelevant question would be: "If one such encoder exists today can it emit 853 x 480p60?". If not, and if Table 3 and cable/sat preclude this as an emission format, then maybe this thread becomes moot except for IP delivered apps. ---- Tom McMahon Del Rey +1-310-717-7208 Mobile TLM@xxxxxxxxxx WWW.LinkedIn.Com/in/McMahonTV -----Original Message----- From: "John Shutt" <shuttj@xxxxxxxxx> Sender: opendtv-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2012 20:29:56 To: <opendtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: opendtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [opendtv] Re: 480i 16:9 with pillarboxed image At the time (3 years ago) there was not.
