AJA Kona LHI card

[Fred Jodry]

You need a version of Y- cable on your HDMi cabling that puts regular HDMI towards your TV or similar ending and analog video and audio, or metadata- stripped HDMi towards the input of your LHi. News production companies and duplicator companies use them quite alot because they have to produce out of anything that comes in the door as well as when their own work comes returning back to them wrapped inside of a stupid electronic copyright. Something that has already happened to me.

There is an anti-copy protocol inside of consumer HDMI outputs so that consumers can’t make perfect digital copies.

If it was your content that was being protected from theft, I think you’d find this system far from “stupid”.

Tim, even though I wish there were a good enough reason to agree, the reason, the results themselves, are too poor. It is my job and joy to make good shows and push them out the door. My Listenners and Watchers already empty their pockets until they ache, for an amount of shows that`s worth less than the money. That`s not so bad! I am constantly running across bad edits and reworks of my shows already electronically copyrighted so hard that the producers have done everything but whipped out their log and pissed on them. I just have to be mature enough, that old swallow and think, to know that the fans would rather have and pay for the real thing. Tim, when you try to retrieve one of your one, ten, or forty year old shows and some unknown metadata blot or codec turns it into the mouse that never ever comes out of the hole for the cheese, you`ll see that problem too.

If they’re your shows, why would you have to record them off-air?

One reason is for air-checks. Another reason is to steal back stolen masters.
