| Re: This day. said by dvd536  :The bad thing about digital is its "All or nothing" meaning its either really good looking or its a black screen. With analog at least you can get a snowy/wavy but watchable screen. that same issue on digital, you won't get anything. I think the "all or nothing" digital myth needs to go away... Yes, at the bit level it's all or nothing, but most digital systems have some sort of redundancy or error correction to handle the loss of some bits. I have seen plenty of digital video that is obviously somewhere halfway between the "all" and "nothing" states. Tiling, green spots on the screen, excessive pixelation, etc will replace analog distortions. |
