But then, accept the challenge of making a program master that will look good outside the online suite. This means keeping it within the limitations of the transmitter and the ability of the consumer telly to display the result. It's as useful looking at everything on a component or digital monitor as it is doing a TV mix in a Sensurround theater. It appears to a lot of people as if making a broadcast-quality master is a costly and onerous task to discharge. It need not be so.
Most problems are simply a result of individuals being unaware of the limitations in the process.
If your requirements are clearly defined to begin with, then you should not have to pay more to do repairs if necessary later on. If you are told that meeting broadcast specifications will cost more, then that's just crap, go elsewhere. Even if the original material was not within spec, it can always be brought within spec on the master. Once transferred to your master, it can easily be brought up to scratch. The specifications quite adequately describe the limitations of most common videocassette formats as well as transmission.
