Re: Accumulating noise

207.174.191.131

Hello -

Not to be contrary, but you do seem somewhat argumentative:

1) I have never talked about noise performance. My posts were regarding the linearity of the DAC output.

2) I have never talked about dither. To the best of my knowledge, no video DACs employ dither, although this might not be a bad idea.

3) You are right that it makes more sense to use one set of video DACs for all sources. But until you can purchase an SDI-out equipped VCR or HDTV tuner, we will have to live with that redundancy.

4) Even in you turn the (unrequired) digital processing off, you are paying the penalty of a higher cost for the unit.

5) You will still achieve better overall performance, and at a much lower cost, by making picture adjustments in the analog domain, for the reasons noted in my previous postings.

Best regards,
Charles Hansen
