Television Broadcast Ancillary Signals
In comments filed by the SMPTE with the Federal Communications Commission on 7 March 1972 relative to Docket 19314 covering code identification marks in the transmitted image area of broadcast stations, the Society suggested that a complete study of identification and control functions be undertaken by a committee with industry-wide representation. In additional comments filed with the FCC on 8 May by the SMPTE, it was pointed out that the proceedings relative to Docket 19314 highlighted the problems of allocating portions of the video or audio television signals for various special functions, in addition to picture and sound transmission which may be of value to the public and to industry. Continuing, the Society noted that further study had resulted in the increased realization that prompt action was imperative, if these interests were to be best served in a manner least wasteful of available spectrum.
