Does this mean that when the networks are providing a live feed and the
TV camera is panning horizontally across a scene with a lot of vertial
lines, we will see pictures updated at only 30 Hz?  I was under the
impression that the camera does no buffering; if the image changes 
it will output consecutive frames that do not match, just like the Amiga.

Is this correct?
