    SPACEMAN has been researching transitioning
    from 4/3 D1/DV pal to 16/9.
    Currently, composition sizes are 720/576.
    The idea is to create 16/9 compositions which will
    be transported full height anamorphic to transmission,
    put through an ‘arc’ and unsqueezed for broadcast.
    Also, there will be two stages to broadcast, one which involves
    a 14/9 signal, whereby the FHA will be arced 14/9.

    SPACEMAN
    has questions.

    1. What should the new comp sizes be for 16/9? 1024×576?
    2. Square pixels or wide pixels?
    3. Has anyone experienced transport irregularities
    between software? AFX to AVID, FCP, MEDIA 100 844x. (or return)
    4. To facilitate the 14/9 signal, how should the original
    comp be prepared?

    SPACEMAN greatly appreciates anyone who has taken the time
    to read and consider these issues, which are taking up so
    much valuable playtime.

    SPACEMAN is no longer scared of COWDOG.

    STEVE does not know much about PAL. However, STEVE hopes that he can become SPACEMAN’S PAL by providing this link:

    SPACEMAN always cracks Dan up. Dan admires SPACEMAN’s courage with regards to COWDOG, but Dan is sorry to report he has no answers for SPACEMAN’s questions.

    SPACEMAN thanks both STEVE and DAN.
    SPACEMAN found the BBC site very helpful and
    considers STEVE a PAL. A pal in need is a pal indeed.
    SPACEMAN does not want to crack DAN up,
    as DAN‘s expressions have cracked SPACEMAN up. (over and over….)

    Only gravity can stop our fall. Heee hee.

    AHARON just wanted to chime in because AHARON likes to talk in 3rd person when no one is around…

    SPACEMAN thinks Aharon is funny and enjoys
    Aharon’s tutorials but thinks Aharon should not spend
    so much time alone.

    AHARON’s wife and 3 cats agree with SPACEMAN…

    SPACEMAN finds cats strange and they make SPACEMAN sneeze. Also, cats are not able
    to play with AFX, because their
    paws are too big and their claws get stuck
    on the keyboard and they become frustrated.

    Always be kind to animals.

    ANTONY also wants a piece of this particular pie.
    ANTONY can offer small, smooth pebbles of advice to SPACEMAN – in return he asks nothing but the unspoken respect amongst MEN OF DESIGN.
    ANTONY has just finished a PAL project for the BBC. 720×576 Widescreen pixels. ANTONY warns that SPACEMAN gets clear guidance about what safe-areas his employers desire. ANTONY speaks through unspent, bitter tears.
