Not sure what VIR2 is. Never heard of that.
Even before the HD switchover, stations were going digital in NTSC days.
I remember spots and syndicated programs coming in as a file from a digital satellite.
The files were fed directly to the playout server (a raid 5 computer). And then to air.
Sometimes the programs had low video or high chroma. Since it never went to analog at the station there was no way to adjust it.
This was eventually corrected as stations raised hell with the syndicators. Turns out the spots and programs had been uplinked by a secretary who had no knowledge of video parameters.
