REQ: HD Recording of 2003, 2004 or 2005 Master Golf Tourna..

[Guest]

I am wondering if anyone in this newsgroup would have an archived HD
copy of either or all of the 2003, 2004 and 2005 Masters Golf
Tournament Championships broadcast by CBS in HD.

I was under the impression that you could not record an HD signal 1080i on a
VHS recorder which is something like 420i. I tried to make one recording
and there wasn't any signal to the VHS that it could recognize. Maybe
someone else could reply to this.

A DVHS recorder can do a perfect record/playback of an OTA ATSC broadcast.

Does the DVHS use DVI or HDMI cabling? If yes, does the built in HDCP
affect the quality? If no, the other cables won't pass a digital signal as
far as I know. So if the first case is true and it uses DVI let's say then
you could upscale a DVD to 1080i and record to DVHS which I don't think the
cables will allow. The other way component or RBG etc won't carry true HD
at 720p or 1080i. Of course there are large profession recorders that will
do this for what $8k or so? But I think we are talking consumer.

You are correct that a component connection won't carry a digital
signal. However, a component cable connection will absolutely carry a
true HD signal at 720P and/or 1080i. The various DVHS recorders have
different means of recording HD. Some can utilize component, DVI, HDMI
or 1394 connections.

No, they can't. All D-VHS recorders use IEEE-1394 (FireWire) for input of
HD digital video. There are W-VHS recorders that use component video as
input, and record the analog component signals on the tape as analog signals.

D-VHS (and W-VHS) can have DVI, HDMI, or component for outputs, though.

DVHS basically records the digital data that represents the encoded ATSC
signal (or a portion thereof.) Most of the DVHS interfaces for HDTV input
are firewire. For output it can be digital or analog (e.g. component.)

There is little value in decoding/re-encoding the digital data to
be recorded, and the DVHS record/playback is essentially perfect (relative
to the original ATSC signal.)

This is all a bit confusing to me but I thought that a progressive signal
was digital only. Progressive refreshing is the whole screen at once isn't
it? Correct me please if I'm off base. Standard tvs (analog) or scanning
tvs can't do progessive I thought only LCD and DLP can refresh the whole
screen. It seems too that no matter what the signal says it is, 1080i let's
say and my tv is only 768 lines of resolution it will only show 720p at its
best. It does the scaling inside the set. So are you sure that 720p or
1080i is actually going through the component cable or is it being converted
to 480i?

Analog has been carrying progressive scan signals for a long time...since
VGA started.

No, it is scanning lines in order (for 480p): 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., 480

Interlaced scan (480i) is like this: 1, 3, 5, ..., 479, 2, 4, 6, ..., 480

I guess I was confusing that with LCD and DLP of having the capability of
doing a whole screen refresh rather than using scan lines. The digital
sensors in HD cameras should have that capability and if the refresh rates
were high enough the picture would be very sharp and steady it would seem.

thanks,

Despite the capability of refreshing the entire display at once, LCDs and
DLPs both actually scan the display progressively, as I said. This is
because that is how the data comes in.

The refresh rate would have to be *very* high to make it look smooth if they
held the data until a full frame were available and then did a refresh.
This would actually result in a jerkier motion than progressive scan, at
least to the human eye.
