High Definition

i'm no expert by any means, but i believe the main difference is the bigger resolution u have with HD than with any of the other systems.

"How revolutionary is HD?" On the level of the swith from B&W to Color in Television, or the addition of sound in film! Having worked in the production / post-production field for over 20 years - the introduction of HD has a impact on almost every aspect of the technical arena in particular. If you run a post studio, you know that going "true HD", by that I mean not a compressed format like HDV, requires you to buy almost all new equiptment - new monitors, decks, far more storage space. And, working in HD resolution often makes the most comfortable standard rez work flow grind to a hault with increased processing and rendering times.

Add to this, new cameras, new consumer televisions, new broadcast methods and standards and you really have one hell of a revolution - for better or worse.

Not only does it affect your equipment, but also your lighting, your set, actors etc. News anchors are getting plastic surgery done to look better for HD because it pics up what SD didn't. Same goes for sets. That little ding in the prop doesn't show up in SD, but it's magnified in HD. So HD affects EVERYTHING.
