- I think that Christopher ahs reached a false conclusion. Try this analogy:
-
- If CDs are digital, what are the number of available pitches
- for playback.
-
- Of course, being digital in no way limits the number of available pitches.
- In the same way, there will not be a limit to the available number of colors
- in HDTV. I'm sure it's all tied up in Nyquist, and all that related theory,
- but I'll admit that I don't know it well enough to lecture on it. Perhaps
- someone else can explain further.
