Since 1970, NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) and other organizations have been continuously researching high definition television (HDTV). As a result of this research NHK has proposed an HDTV provisional standards featuring 1,125 scanning lines, 60 Hz field frequency and 5:3 aspect ratio. Items based on these standards, such as HDTV camera, display, telecine, VTR, etc., are currently under development. HDTV, which is capable of storing at least 5 times more information than a conventional TV and displaying a highly detailed wide screen image, is drawing public attention as the TV system of the next generation.
