Question for the uber-geeks out there: can a show that was shot on tape really be remastered?
All the stuff being remastered into HD up to this point has been old stuff shot on film. The original film can be remastered into HD in such a way that its detail is enhanced.
Can the same be said of something like Sienfeld, that was originally shot on tape. What is there to be remastered? Sure, you could clean up the tape. But is there any extra detail to be captured? Or are they really just upconverting?
BTW, I haven't seen the Seinfeld DVDs, but the Soprano DVDs are crap. It's like watching analog cable. Not much in the way of remastering there.
"I'm moving to a small studio and for some reason the cable connection is in an awkward place and I need a way to transmit HD quality video and audio no more than 20 feet away. What is the best wireless HDMI transmitter / receiver for this situation? Thanks!"
