Second Generation HDTV Switcher

High definition television systems were first shown at IBC, Brighton, UK in the early eighties but have since had only limited impact in specialist areas due to the size, weight and consequential cost of high definition processing, storage and transmission. — In Japan today at least 12 hours of high definition material are broadcast per day to more than 1 million receivers using a compression technology known as multiple sub-nyquist encoding or MUSE. — There is now a growing demand with Japanese broadcasters and programme producers to capture their original material using high definition systems. — Sony is responding by introducing a new generation of high definition products. The range of products is to include studio cameras, portable cameras, studio VTRs, portable VTRs, digital multi effects and digital switchers all suitable for live, production and post production use.
