[BC] NBC Olympic Video?

[Robert Meuser]

I just spoke with someone who was there. SOME of the video from the host 
is upconverted 1080i/50. ALOT of the video is from SD cameras running in 
4x3 mode, 480i at 50 frames They are upconverted to HD and center 
cropped for SD distribution. So the SD has less lines than normal and 
both the HD and SD have to deal with 25 hertz fields.  Splains some of it.
