Yeah, I just added a 42″ plasma and HD cablebox to my home theater and I noticed that on FoxHD, their promos seem to be in HD. It is extremely obvious to me because my 5.1 receiver automatically detects the signal, and the mix is much louder (and clearer) than the SD commercials.

Since you called the Knox “horrible”… What do you recommend for an analog router? I like the “matrix” aspect of this switcher as opposed to the cable plug mess from traditional TRS patch pannels. It patches audio and video with a simple keypad. And honestly this is currently used to patch “monitoring” of devices and to patch VHS approval dub rack (video dist. amp) – so its never used for input/output of a VTR. But this also means that two of the three rooms are only using composite video to monitor. One room is set up as more of an “online” suite than the other two, but I guess I should be running component video to all the bays as well.
That is the reason I am thinking of going SDI to the edit bays (digital monitoring) plus component/composite and all 4 channels of audio coming off the deck for monitoring during lay to tape (since my patch bay is stereo).
I have also realized that is time to beef up our broadcast monitors. I hear everyone on here raving about the PVW-20L5 what about the 20L2? or the new LCD monitors (LDM 2020) I am assuming they have the typical LCD issues of brightness/contrast, but do they show only a progressive frame?

Okay… nevermind the WHOLE post! The i/o does do composite out!
I guess reading those manuals is a good idea!

I have an i/O LD – which does not have composite output. Thats why I’m looking for a solution! I think the S video to 2 BNC seems to be my best bet.

Would a Sony BKM-129X Analog Input Adapter work?

We are in talks with apple now. But I was just wondering what other options would be. It seems like lots of companies will be jumping on the web based media delivery soon. Any ideas if better copyright protection will be more common. I know of PIX and other robust video sharing programs, but again, this is for the average “low tech” american downloading movies, ect.

I’ve been good for a week – and even updated to QT 7.0.3 because my company is looking at putting all of our titles on the internet for the trendy iPod video people. I got a free iPod video out of the deal – so even if the OS would have ruined my mac, I still would have been a happy camper!
But a director I am working with upgraded two days ago, and he still hasn’t gotten his dual G5 back up and running.
I started asking him the normal questions… Did you clone your drive before the OS? Did you rebuild permissions before and after? To which he had no idea what I was saying. Moral of the story. Don’t be the first to jump. And at least jump in the right direction. Me – I prefer the backflip!

yeah. I work in 8 bit or I produce my drop shadows other ways (livetype, photoshop).

I have posted about this before.
It is the drop shadow. Apparently 10 bit YUV was never able to process drop shadow from FCP. here’s the article from apple…

The “pause on a field or frame” is for the NTSC monitor.
Is this just normal fields? Again, its not noticeable on an NTSC monitor until you scale, rotate, or move the image or if you take it into AE to rotoscope and such. Another thing I noticed is that it happens in a 3:2 cadence. That is, 3 frames are smooth, two frames are like this. Any footage i bring in via the kona uncompressed ha this distortion – and I am not saying that it is “wrong” I am just wondering how you all deal with the footage when you scale it of try to composite with it. Again, I de-interlace it first, but I am sure that is adding some degradation.
