If you really, really need 100% perfect output for broadcast work,
buy an Exabyte drive, record your images in Abekkas format and
have your local posthouse dump it to D1. Any card like the PAR will
use compression, thus introducing a grain pattern and artifacting.
Broadcast work is deliverd on D1, so even if you recorded your work in your
studio on a lossless DDR, like an Accom, you would still need $100,000
for a D1 unit.
