Early HDTV adopters screwed by HD-disc rules

If you're one of the first adopters who mortgaged the house to buy the earliest HDTV displays, don't expect to get full HD resolution when you take out a second mortgage for a high-def disc player when they come out later this year. Today the copy-protection rules for Blu-ray or HD DVD — the two formats competing to be the standard for HD discs — are being unveiled. Called Advanced Access Content System (AACS), the rules clearly show the major movie studios are determined to stymie potential piracy, but their efforts may short-change people with older HDTVs. AACS says the new players won't output a full-HD signal from their component-video connections, since those jacks are analog instead of digital and thus have no copy protection. The "down-rezzed" signals will be limited to a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels — exactly one-quarter the 1,920 x 1,080 pixels that you'll get through the copy-protected digital connectors on the players. The potentially huge problem with this strategy is that the only HD inputs on a lot of older HDTVs are component video. Estimates vary, but it's believed 3 to 6.6 million such displays are in U.S. households. And the sun will set on analog video for good after Dec. 31, 2013, when AACS-licensed players can't be made or sold with any analog video outputs, including the familiar yellow composite-video jack.

walter_yaron,

בוקר טוב...

מעניין שהם רק שמים לב לזה עכשיו, הרי כל הממירים של HD בארה"ב בעלי אותה בעיה בדיוק...

דיברנו על בעיה זו כל כך הרבה וזה היה ברור כשמש שמי שקנה פלזמה או LCD לא תמיכה ב HDCP דרך החיבורים הדיגטלים לא יוכל להנות מ HD ( מלבד המחשב ).

מסכים אבל עכשו העלו את זה לתודעה הציבורית
