From Mark's Monday Memo... - When the ATSC Implementation Subcommittee meets next week, one of the issues they will consider will be DTV lip sync. Reports continue to come in of lip-sync incompatibilities between certain encoders and decoders under certain conditions. One suggests a problem between 30.00-frame-per-second transmissions and decoders designed to produce 29.97-frame-per-second outputs, causing audio to slip to a roughly one-frame lead in roughly 30 seconds. - Toshiba is now quoting $999 for its DSS HD-decoder set-top box. The $500 reduction was made possible by changing from Thomson to a different source, according to this week's Consumer Electronics newsletter. Buy the box with a $2,199 36-inch "HD-ready" TV, and they'll throw in a 24-inch satellite antenna. - Warner Home Video plans to release DVDs in China in an effort to stop the piracy rampant in the Video CD format. - How low can it go? Do phosphor particles limit resolution? Osram Sylvania plan to introduce phosphor particles in the range of four to five microns, said to be half the industry standard.
