Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Another Mavericks gotcha

The phrase super-sucky is anachronistic. The current preferred term is ultra-sucky.

Though some claim it's very hard to appreciate the difference between ultra-sucky and very-sucky unless you are very close.

"Super-sucky" I'm going to have check with my Broadcast Engineering for the exact specs on what constitutes the "Super-sucky" classification. Is there a specialized Tektronix waveform that monitors "Super-suckyness" in baseband or IP video streams? I'm going to be using that phrase a lot in the future. It's right up there with Bone Heads in my book. ;-)
