An Example Hierarchy of Formats for HDTV

Gary Demos

Various HDTV scanning parameter sets have been proposed. When these parameters are analyzed in the context of forming the basis of a suitable hierarchy of scalable resolutions and temporal rates, some significant patterns emerge. Certain fundamental issues in constructing a convenient hierarchy include progressive scanning, square pixels (or simple squeezes), and a simple fractional relationship between members of the hierarchy, both temporally and in resolution.
