Mark Horton, Bob Pank

The expectation of high-definition television is that it should at least be a technically superior viewing experience—so picture quality is immediately an issue. Maintaining quality through post-production is vital as it is a part of the complex path from scene to screen. Moreover, with far greater picture detail, corrective measures to improve the pictures also assume high importance as does the tool-set to enable programmakers to accomplish their planned results. Achieving such aims economically appears to be hampered by the very high data rates and storage needed for HD; but by examining a number of alternatives, acceptable schemes can be found.
