Well, I can tell you we don't get any metadata for that here. :)

Although saying about the decline in quality, we have a requirement for an
African client who wants to fit 16 channels into 27.500MS/sec. Frankly thats
just wrong, using statistical multiplexing we are going to try and we might get
it to work, but even with 10 channels the test system made an already lame news
US channel look terrible. Not just blocking, but so much reduction that you end
up with just solid colours where a smooth shade used to be.

People controling the money seem to have not spoken to those who actually use
this compression hardware. Can't wait to see the customer response when the new
system goes on air...

 The conspiracy theorist in me does wonder if advertisers will start to shape
 'random artefacts' into the form of legible words and phrases - a new wave of
 subliminal advertising :)

 There are surely fun times ahead... :)

 Cheers,
 Gavin.
