Today’s episode of Scrapin’ the Docket is an interview with Neothings CEO Bill Paul. Bill recently filed his own ex parte letter (you don’t need to be Mr. X-Parté to file an ex parte) in the Selectable Output Control (SOC) docket. Neothings makes video matrix switches used in homes and businesses with complex A/V setups, so he knows a thing or two about how people use video in their homes.
In this interview, Bill talks about why analog High Definition video outputs are so useful, the problems with digital outputs, and how the very Hollywood executives pushing for SOC probably need analog to power their own home video setups.
SOC / Bill Paul interview
Bill did a great job of summarizing the issues with this latest “improvement” that is being forced on consumers.
I don’t recall (in the last 40 yrs) this model ever being successful in the computer/electronics world:
“Hey gang, let’s raise the cost without increasing performance.”
