Report of the SMPTE Digital Television Study Group
The formation of the SMPTE Study Group on Digital Television (SG-DTV) began in August 1974, with the appointment of C. P. Ginsburg to chair the group. Initial responsibilities for the Chairman included: (1) collaboration with W. T. Wintringham, Engineering Vice-President of SMPTE, and J. A. Flaherty, Chairman of the Television Technology Committee, to whom the Chairman of the Study Group was eventually to report, for the purpose of drawing together a Charter which would properly describe the functions which the Study Group was to perform; (2) selection for participation in the Study Group of a nucleus of technical people who were active and expert in the field of digital television; and (3) establishment with the European Broadcasting Union Working Party C, which has been involved in studies of the digital television field for some time, of a basis for future collaboration with the SG-DTV. The Charter evolved to the following form in November 1974, and it has not yet been found necessary to modify it.
