Happy Birthday Dan! Hope it ends well!

No, just something that happened when my neighbors asked was I interested in helping them make some TV for the local cable community channel. MOA on TV? Who knows

And just because balanced / xlr may be better for audio frequency signals, don't assume the same applies to RF digital signals. Its nice to know someone else agrees with me about AES EBU, I always thought I was the lone voice in the wilderness. Anyway I see two main reasons for the inferiority of AES/EBU. 1. XLRs are horrible RF connectors. In order to send a square wave fairly faithfully the interface must support a bandwidth many times higher than the frequency of the square wave. For the signals in question that is getting well up into the RF spectrum where the XLRs are terrible. The impedance varies radically with frequency which will cause all kinds of bizarre reflections. The choice of XLR was a very poor choice. 2. Output voltage. The S/PDIF electrical spec is 0.5V into 75ohms, but the AES/EBU is 3-5V into 110 ohms. Think about that for a second, what happens when you put 5volts across 110 ohms? You get almost 50mA of current flowing. This means the driver sitting in the source box has to be able to dump between 30-50ma into the cable. That causes huge current spikes in the power and ground pins of the driver chip which is going to cause big noise spikes in the power and ground planes of the board. If you are not extremely careful that is going to cause significant jitter in the output signal. All modern high speed interfaces use less than 0.5V signal. As far as I can tell the XLRs were chosen because studios had lots of microphone cables and wanted to use them. Because they are such lousy RF transmission lines they had to go with high voltages to make sure there was some signal left at the end. John S.

Good Man! I knew you could be relied on. http://www.head-case.org/forums/food-drink/8071-brewdog-sink-bismark.html#post326976

No pro/con position on forcing efficiencies on intermediaries whose business model was distribution of physical artifacts, which can be done more efficiently / cheaper in the digital domain. Just an observation.

I can't help feel that that the creative destruction that the iPad/iTunes store offers content distributors is similar to the situation with Wal Mart and manufacturers. You are offered the Faustian Bargain of access to a huge market, but at a cost of ceding control. Consumers initially see low, low prices; But what happens long term?
