I have noticed something odd a few times during the Olympics and
I'm not sure what cuases it. What I am refering to here is not
from the mobile cameras (Skibootcam, Bobsledrunnercam, etc.) where
the microwave link looses line of site and the picture breaks up.
This has happened during the ice skating which I presume uses cameras
with cables. What happens is that a few frames seem to be lost.
Someone will be skating along and all of a sudden mysteriously is
a few feet from where they were last. It is as if they were doing
compulsory figures on a discontinuous function. I assume the feed
is lost but something appears to remember the last frame transmitted
becuase there is no apparent loss of synch. Can anyone eleaborate
on this?
