Hope nobody gets too worried by the amount I just cut out, but there was just too much wrong and confused stuff. This article still needs major help. The bottom stuff is just sort of random unstructured meandering around things that are vaguely related. Preferably, most of that would be cut out, or at least organized, and the article would be fleshed out with stuff like specification details and applications.Snacky 05:36, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

State was is wrong or confused or clean it up. I'll restore some of it. Appreciate your additions, they look very nice. Daniel.Cardenas 14:12, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Is there a standard hardware interface that people use to get the transport stream from one device to another? DVB vaguely mentions "a synchronous parallel interface (SPI), synchronous serial interface (SSI), or asynchronous serial interface (ASI)".

But asynchronous serial interface focuses on ASCII over RS-232. So do people really send video over RS-232? If not, what (specifically) *do* people use to carry video from one device to another? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.70.89.241 (talk • contribs) 15:30, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

You can use whatever you want. For digital video equipment, ASI over BNC-terminated coax is probably the most common mechanism, making it something of a de facto requirement within the industry. But there's nothing that says you HAVE to use it (why should there be)? Snacky 18:33, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
