Testing Applications in Uncompressed HDTV Signals

James R. Waschura

This paper focuses on testing methods and applications for the uncompressed high-definition television (HDTV) signal, SMPTE 292M. It includes a description of the signal's electrical characteristics, digital format, and special protocols for embedding auxiliary information. This is followed by an explanation of testing methodologies and tools used to verify compliance to the SMPTE specification. Finally, the author suggests two specific areas for automatic testing in the product manufacturing cycle: design verification and manufacturing test.
