K. Blair Benson

The advent of video tape has provided a means for the rapid intercontinental exchange of television programs wherein the transmission delay need not exceed the travel time of modern jet aircraft. However, the difference in picture scanning parameters employed by various nations often prohibits broadcasting the video signal in its original form and necessitates a conversion to the appropriate transmission standards. Problems related to the design of converters for this purpose are discussed and the equipments used by CBS are described.
