<div dir="ltr"><div>NTSC/PAL doesn't actually say anything about resolution, though -- but 1080 does. one can't advertise a resolution their equipment cannot record. NTSC/PAL are broadcast systems with hard limits on available framerates but not on resolution (interlaced signals show half of each image at a time, anyway) -- these are limits dependant on a region's AC frequency, not going away anytime soon. cars are DC, but when you're dealing with HDMI you're still going into broadcast standards territory.<br>
