Re: TCM In HD --- When?
TCM plays all movies in OAR to settle one question also to answer the big question about availability of HD films.
way back in ancient times BDVD(the time of laserdisc.) Most films transferred in WS were transferred on to tape using a D1 recorder.
It's specs are superior to HD and if restoration was done, it was put back on to a D1 0r 2 machine as a new master with specs better that HD. those masters were kept and would still comprise a HD source just as they were used for DVD an dare available for BluRay transfer in full HD as would the 1080i version for TCM.
Even old B&W movies thta were restored would be mastered for D1or2
