Sony doing 720p???

Both KOMO-TV and Sony executives say the HDTV newscasts will test the interoperability of different DTV formats. KOMO-TV is currently producing and broadcasting its newscasts in 1080i, the DTV format Sony uses for its HDTV equipment. But KOMO-TV is committed long-term to 720-line progressive HDTV (720p), both as an ABC affiliate and by its personal preference, and will continue to show the rest of its DTV broadcast day in 720p.
"Broadcasting from the studio in 720p is our ultimate commitment," says Fisher Broadcasting Vice President of Engineering Pat Holland. He expects Sony to honor its commitment to support 720p as well as 1080i.
Thorpe says that Sony is currently developing a 720p conversion board that will allow its 1080i cameras to output 720p. He says Sony still hasn't decided whether it will make native 720p imaging chips for its cameras.
