	Thank you very much.  I started using unix-like OS's 30
years ago in June but the digital video field is new to me so I
still have a lot of learning to do.

	As an electronics and amateur radio enthusiast, I am
astounded at how fast that A/D converter has to work along with
the Nyquist filtering to properly digitize the video.

	With North American NTSC color video, the dot clock rate
is 3.7945 million plus a few more decimal places per second and
PAL along with SECAM are just above 4 MHZ.  The A/D converter has
to sample at twice that rate to keep Mr. Nyquist from haunting
anybody from his grave.
