Network Transmission Coordination in U.S. and Canada: Panel Discussion of Technical and Operational Matters of Mutual Concern to Broadcasters and Common Carriers

The Network Transmission Committee (NTC) and its parent committee the Video Transmission Engineering Adivisory Committee (VITEAC) were established a little over 11 years ago. Then a method for interchanging engineering information between the television networks and the operating divisions of the Bell System was needed. Bell's facilities formed a vital link in the signal transmission path from studio to home viewer. The television networks were entering a tremendous growth period. It became imperative that each of these groups understand the other's problems so that the mutually desired goal could be achieved in the face of the expanding networks and the advent of color broadcasting and its more stringent transmission requirements. This goal was, and still is, the delivery to each affiliated station the highest quality television signal consistent with the state of the art, and, of course, a signal which would meet all FCC requirements for the radiated waveform, even if the signal were subjected to no further processing by the station.
