Television Engineering Research in the BBC, Today and Tomorrow

Bruce Moffat

Television engineering research in the BBC is intended to ensure that the future engineering needs of the BBC can be met economically and effectively. To that end new broadcasting systems and techniques are innovated and assessed. It is important to strike a balance in this work between current and future requirements, mainly through internal projects, but partly in cooperation with other enterprises. Major examples of relevant work include High Definition Television in conjunction with Digitally Assisted Television, bandwidth compression, subscription systems, digital techniques for studios and transmission, and digital stereophony for television.
