| brolin_empey | Calling composite video output “TV output” seems anachronistic because modern television receivers have inputs for the same RGB video signals used by computer equipment, both analog and digital RGB. | 07:47 |
|---|---|---|
| sixwheeledbeast | I mean it's called what it was called 10 years ago when the product was new. It's not like many people call 8p8c by it's technically correct name either. | 09:50 |
| brolin_empey | sixwheeledbeast: The situation was the same a decade ago. It should be called composite video output because that is what it is. | 14:57 |
| sixwheeledbeast | brolin_empey: we all know what it is not everyone will use the full technical name we all know what the product is and does. | 15:04 |
| sicelo | :-) | 15:05 |
| sixwheeledbeast | We don't call alkaline batteries "cells" either even tho they are not batteries. | 15:06 |
| KotCzarny | hmm | 15:06 |
| KotCzarny | afair there is something like "AA cell" | 15:07 |
| KotCzarny | and i guess Duracell might be direct result of it | 15:07 |
| sixwheeledbeast | People generally don't call them cells tho. all the documentation, schematics and Wikipedia call it TV out as a short name. I think we all know it's CVBS | 15:08 |
| sixwheeledbeast | If i said CVBS or composite connection to someone with no technical knowledge they would look at me blankly. What does that mean. | 15:09 |
| sixwheeledbeast | My RJ45/8P8C connector example earlier is equally incorrect but common usage. at least tv out isn't "incorrect" just generally vague. | 15:11 |
| KotCzarny | now we have internet-tv | 15:13 |
| KotCzarny | which can be watched on just any device with screen and capable of decoding | 15:13 |
| sixwheeledbeast | indeed and micro-hdmi | 15:13 |
| KotCzarny | so twisted pair can be tv cable now | 15:14 |
| KotCzarny | same as wifi | 15:14 |
