Factors Leading to the Choice of a Digital Television System

Digital video and digital audio are headline topics in nearly all Journals serving the broadcasting industry. It is also true that virtually every standardizing group in the world has one or more committees assigned to consider specifications for digital video and audio systems. In spite of this, both manufacturers and broadcasters are quick to admit that the course of progress toward digital studio systems is far from being clearly charted. This paper provides an overview of the advances in technology that are urging designers of broadcast equipment toward digital systems. It also defines the general problems that face both the equipment design engineer and the broadcast user in considering the future of digital video and digital audio systems in the studio environment.
