Re: [RE] Rev1 of my 1st presention at May meeting is in ResE area



I can confirm that 1080p is something we will need to support over  
ResE with NO loss in quality during the course of the streaming  
session. Keep in mind that the streaming session could mean an all  
day marathon of James Bond movies in HD. Even if the broadcast is in  
1080i, you should consider that set-tops may have the ability to  
upconvert to 1080p for output (to HDMI or ResE for example).
