More 4:2:2 questions

[TiminMb]

I'm talking with Fortec via email about the possibility of their products being able to received 4:2:2 format transmissions. They have asked me to direct them to a transponder having constant 4:2:2 signals for them to do some software testing. Can anyone assist?

Many people are looking for this feature.

Question...4:2:2? What format is this? What does it refer to?

It's a form of encryption that a 4:2:0 MPEG receiver can not decode.

Not to argue over words, but is it fair to say its not encryption, in the sense of keeping it from private eyes, but merely a format not standard to our receivers?

Misleading info. 4:2:2 is not ecnryption. More info on 4:2:2 can be found at http://www.coolstf.com/mpeg/index.html

Sort of, since a Twinhaun PCI card can pick up and decode 4:2:2.

Anyway, 4:2:2 on my Fortec sounds like a great idea.

4:2:2 is a video format. The twinhan isn't doing anything but decoding the transport stream. Your pc has the proper codecs installed to then uncompress the stream for proper viewing.
