Evolutionary Approaches to Advanced Television—Making the Migration Possible

S. Merrill Weiss

The introduction of Advanced Television (ATV) in the United States is such a complex, difficult, and expensive undertaking that the means for bringing it into being must follow a carefully considered migration path. Important elements of the change which must be provided are the attraction of a large audience, the participation of the largest possible number of program sources and distributors to attract that audience, and the minimization of the costs of introduction to make that participation practical. An approach to meet these goals using Advanced Compatible Television (ACTV) is described.
