Interesting thing to note about our new from-the-ground-up facility (which
is still being installed at present) is that the we specified in the
design criteria the ability to produce in either 1080i and 720p but
specified we wanted everything set up for 720p during commissioning. Due
to budget constraints, we had to adopt 1080i because certain pieces could
only do that format. The cameras and production switcher could do either
but the Avid playout servers (the low cost ones) could only do NTSC or
1080i. That has changed so we can now commission all equipment in 720p.
But perhaps the most interesting part is that it took several
communications to the system engineers to get them to go with 720p as they
assumed 1080i.
Also to note is that equipment producing 1080@60p is now mostly available
if one is careful to select specific equipment but is still a significant
cost premium. Therefore, we stuck with 720p.
