Hybrid Television and Computer Systems

This paper addresses the need to integrate and relate the increasing range of broadcast and computer systems so that they may appear coherent to the domestic audience and can operate together in concert. The current proposals for digital broadcasting using the ATSC system involve a range of acquisition and display formats and resolutions. Digital broadcasting systems currently being installed in Europe will initially use the same line standard as current analogue services but at the 16:9 aspect ratio. Both European and American proposals provide for the delivery of new data services that enhance the television programme and need to be displayed together with it. — DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) services are being introduced in Europe that will convey a new range of audio and data services. — Internet is being used widely for data information services which provide ever improving services to a quickly growing international audience.
