The increasing adoption of
larger screens in the homes
is now driving the new
requirements for high quality
content.

HDTV Guide
When electronic television was
first introduced, back in the early
30’s, it was with 4:3 picture format
and very limited resolution (400+

introduced “wide screen” 16:9
(and wider) in the 50’s, and it’s
just recently that the television
industry could cope with the film
innovation. It took 50 years!
After the introduction of colour TV,
there was only one standard video
resolution (known as Standard
Definition, or SD). For many years
this was good enough for viewing
video programs on small TV sets.
However, over the last few years,
a new generation of HDTVs,
flat panels, plasma screens, and
home projectors became available
and affordable to the consumer.
People can now enjoy bigger,
sharper and brighter pictures
in their home than the smaller,
boxy television sets of the past.
This guide is an introduction to some of the issues
related to upgrading to HD infrastructures in
broadcast operations.

format on both H and V axes is High Definition….
