Methinks that this unit will already support the broadcast flag, since
otherwise they would have to make entirely new circuit boards after
"selling" this unit for three months.
But, then, I tend to stick to commercial and technical realities. Not
everyone does.
It would appear that the price floor for commercial/professional units that
will not support the bf (per fcc regs) will be $1500. Sencore showed a unit
at NAB, and I know of another company that, upon my suggestion, is planning
to offer a similar unit, with USB output. If only those Sencore folks had
offered volume discounts, I wouldn't have needed to seek a second source.
