Focus on the comments about the "digital TV appliance" and the viewpoint that image processing will be done locally, ie>at your TV set. Multiple formats, standards etc will come in and the value added image processing will be done in the appliance.....

jubimer....... excellent sites. have you been listening in on my thoughts again? honestly, i think it has gone too far.<g> last night i was lamenting the sorry state of the [certainly not art] HDTV site i had bookmarked, as it was hideously out of date and anything but digitized hip. and voila, here you are with these gems ( and with ampex mentioned prominently, in something less than 5 years old!] i have to digest it all & get back to you....thank you, jubimer. regards, randy

Ditto to Randy's thanks, Jubimer. And from the second site .. <<Once a file is appended, all information already on the tape following the append is lost unless the tape drive is sophisticated enough to support partitioning. Partitioning permits administrators to divide a tape into many small segments where only the information contained within the partition will be affected by appending. As a result, partitioning is a key feature for broadcasters who plan to store constantly changing video such as commercial spots. Standard partition sizes can be formatted to accommodate the size of the average commercial. This allows replacement of only a single spot within a given partition, and does not affect the rest of the items stored on the tape.>> And of course partitioning is a DST specialty. Also, as Valuehunter said, MicroNet provides a RAID cache for the DST. Faster more complete package to offer.
