Thursday 14 February 2008 GATINEAU:FIRST Cad HIGH-DEFINITION TV NETWORK PROPOSED
Canada's broadcasting regulator has received a proposal for the startup of the country's first high-definition television network. John Bitove presented his plan on Tuesday to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. The HDTV network would be based in the eight biggest cities and be free of charge to viewers, existing off advertising alone. The network would spend $350 million over seven years to present original Canadian films, documentaries and series but no local programming, the latter aspect of the project eliciting skepticism from CRTC Chairman Konrad von Finckenstein. Mr. Bitove justified the need for HDTV by the failure of conventional broadcasters to bring the new technology to Canadians.

Sunday Dec 4, 2005 c|net Sony DVD-R does HDMI VG 7.8/10
DVD recorders just keep getting more capable. With a 160-hour hard drive, a TV Guide EPG, and a galaxy of connections, including a first-in-class HDMI output, Sony's RDR-HX715 has a lot of ways to tempt cutting-edge videophiles. But is it worth the steep price? $700 price tag seems awfully steep considering what you get. Unless you're dead set on an HDMI output for your HDD/DVD recorder,
The HX715 is the first high end DVR to include component inputs. So you thought you could connect your high definition cable box's component inputs into the HX715, right? Wrong. Sony crippled the component inputs to make them absolutely worthless and say so on page 15 of the manual. You can only input 480i!!! That's right, no 480p, 720 or 1080 or else you get a blank white screen. If you try 16:9 at 480i from your HDTV tuner you'll get unacceptable jerky video. You can only do low resolution 4:3 over the component inputs. Misleading Information - Worthless Component Inputs 1/10

One thing the AIW Radeon X1800 XL does not offer is a way to handle high-definition TV signals, It's difficult to make high-definition cards because almost all cable and DSL television companies encrypt their signals in different ways, and all are proprietary. As a result, ATI is pursuing a course offering top-quality analogue video. The company has, however, made a high-definition TV tuner card designed to capture "free-to-air" HD signals on a home antenna. It's being marketed almost exclusively in the United States, because few places in Canada are within reach of free-to-air broadcasts.
The cards also offer high-definition H.264 video playback with hardware acceleration on a PC platform. H.264 is the video compression standard that will be used in the next-generation high-definition video players such as Blu-ray and HD-DVD. | ATI X1800 XL | more on H.264 pdf | & a white paper pdf

It also includes HDMI switching and HDMI upconversion--and it's currently the least expensive receiver on the market with both. In theory, HDMI is the pinnacle of A/V connectivity: an all-digital connection that carries high-definition video and surround-sound audio. One HDMI cable could, for instance, replace the three component-video cables as well as the optical audio line between a DVD player and the TV. Other receivers with HDMI either don't offer conversion or are relatively expensive; Sony's STR-DA7100ES is a good example. In addition to HDMI, the JVC RX-D702 includes a wireless USB streaming-audio solution that's unique among receivers we've tested.

Sony's new HDR-HC1 is the world's smallest and least expensive HD camcorder more below s/n 1670572

Thursday Jan 12, 2006 Olibier Sony indicates on its web site: full HD resolution based on HDV 1080i. In fact The full HDTV system is 1080p. For TVs, the only TV with that resolution today is the Philips 37PF9830 with an LCD scree True HD 1920X1080p. There are yet no cameras for non professionals.with this quality.

The HDR-HC1 includes two possible scan rates, either 1080i HDV video at 60 interlaced fields per second, or 480 lines interlaced Standard Definition video at 60 interlaced fields per second. The camcorder can not support the 720 lines progressive mode of the HDV format. The camcorder has no true 24 frames per second progressive scan option. Many higher end shooters' or independent film makers' biggest complaint with HDV is that there is no support for 24P, which shoots at the same frame rate as film, giving a film look to footage. This lack of 24P doesn’t really need to be a problem, as JVC has already announced an HDV camcorder which supports 24P. This camcorder is really designed for high-end consumer use, not necessarily pro independent film making. The 24P “look” can be added in postproduction semi-successfully, though you won’t be able to quadruple the resolution of Standard Definition NTSC video.

And there is no passtrough!

A standard DVD can only record NTSC 480i signals. You may be able to hook up the S-Video or composite output of the HD-DVR to the DVD recorder, but you will only record a downconverted to SD signal (and likely not very good picture quality for SD). A PC setup is able to put HD on a DVD, but not in standard format.
That is why we have two upcoming HD disk formats for yet another format war: HD-DVD and Blu-Ray BD. But these will be expensive for the first several years. Look for HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray threads or news articles.
However, if you can save the HD programs to a computer hard drive (typically as ATSC transport streams) then you can save them to DVD as ordinary data files and play them on the computer. A drawback is that a single-layer DVD can only hold about 40-50 minutes of HD, depending on compression, null stripping, etc. ..... firewire output to go to a D-VHS and you can rig up a computer to look like a D-VHS to it.
