That would be the way to go. I'm sick and tired of how sony keeps teasing us.

I would be surprised to see Sony paying royalties to anyone! They seem to use pretty much their own stuff. Ever see a Sony DLP set?

Dithering (adding noise) has been a standard anti-aliasing technique since the earliest digital audio days.

I always thought that to qualify for a patent, an idea had to unique enough NOT to be obvious to a knowledgeable person in the field. The patent system was supposed to encourage development. Since the lawers got involved, it seems to have the opposite effect - oh! that's been always.

A friend of mine who holds the original patent for digitizing video (1973) suggested to me to enclose any unique circuit in black epoxy and put a part number on it!

Rant's over!

After reading the whole thread and trying to see things from both points of view, I finally gave up and fell over the following website trying to glean some more information on the hopefully pending camcorder.

http://www.studentfilmmakers.com/new...cle_1172.shtml

Which would be completely uninteresting, were it not purportedly written by Robert Faber himself. Its a peculiar mix of 'patent speak' and blatent self promotion I happened to find very amusing. I particually like the whole written-in-the-third-person-quoting-himself bit and he didn't even use the word 'multiplicity' once.
