Advanced Television Standards

E. B. Crutchfield

Work has begun on developing standards for delivering advanced or high definition television to the consumer. The Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC), of which SMPTE is a member, has established the technical specialists group, designated T3S4 to conduct studies and tests leading to the recommendation of standards. The Federal Communications Commission has established an advisory committee to study the prospects for and approaches to advanced television systems. This paper describes the status of ATSC work and plans as well as the structure of the FCC committee, subcommittees and working parties.
