Higher Resolution Codecs and Striped SSDs

[SourceChild]

normal hdsdi - is a lower quality output signal than rgb 4:4:4 from a dvi or vga monitor-

Yep, it sure is. Richard is right.
Sadly, most broadcast systems use HDSDI as their primary interface.

describing an RGB monitor as displaying illegal colour in YUV colour space is the wrong way round-

Honestly, there's no problem until there is a need to have color continuity between a Playback deck and a media server.

Believe me, there's nothing worse than having to match footage and having a video engineer arguing wrong points. Then you get the content creators who complain because their creations look different from one medium to another when they themselves don't even understand Or apply Color Space.

However, theses are all issues which come into play when forced to convert to HDSDI.

normal HDSDI cannot display a full resolution RGB 4:4:4 signal - whatever the refresh rate-

But then again, neither can most codecs. It's a loosing battle.

DVI/vga is higher quality than hdsdi...

broadcast colour is lower quality than RGB 444- i think you have been taking the wrong broadcast based medicine...

It's all propaganda fed to media server people by broadcast engineers to justify the need to keep using interlaced.
THEIR ALL OUT TO GET US!!!! RUN!

the use of 29.97 and all the insane resulting confusing is just so confusing to everyone. its not an advantage of hdsdi - its an albatross.

The biggest Albatross of all is a $150k HD video projector that has a fiber input and the video company demands to use HDSDI.
