The European Perspectives on HDTV
The introduction of HDTV in Europe is being considered primarily for new services which are using, the MAC transmission standard. The MAC system offers significant advantages over present composite systems for compatible HDTV, especially in its inherent dual aspect ratio specification. The Eureka HDTV project is developing an HDTV production and transmission system based on a 50 Hz field rate and on MAC. A European HDTV launch is planned for 1992. However, widescreen services may be available to the public before that date by using an Enhanced Television (ETV) approach.
