EBU Activities in the Worldwide Search for HDTV Studio Standards

Charles P. Sandbank, David Wood

The paper addresses the current EBU position with respect to the dilemma between the desire for a single world-wide standard for HDTV programme exchange and the recognition of the need for programme sources compatible with emission strategies for 50 Hz as well as 60 Hz environments. Some possibilities for a dual mode approach along the lines of Rec.601 are examined and the advantages of 50 Hz as a basis for an eventual programme exchange standard are explained.
