The benefits of a progressive scan based HDTV system

The introduction of High Definition Television (HDTV) as the new high quality television system for the future must avoid all deficiencies of today's systems. In addition, the pictures must be of noticeably higher quality than todays. On the other hand, consumer equipment must not be so expensive that a successful introduction will be hindered. The proposed progressive scan based system fulfils the requirements of the CCIR (twice the resolution in both spatial dimensions, good motion rendition) and allows for economic production of consumer equipment. In addition, the choice of parameters allows for future improvements in terms of spatial resolution and full digital transmission. >
