Experiments on Proposed Extended-Definition TV with Full NTSC Compatibility

Takahiko Fukinuki, Yasuhiro Hirano, Hiroshi Yoshigi

Based on the new proposal for an Extended-Definition TV System (EDTV) fully compatible with existing standards, experiments have been carried out using computer simulation. Full compatibility implies that both existing and EDTV receivers can receive EDTV signals having the same bandwidth without the use of adaptors. This article reports on some of the experiments conducted utilizing two different schemes (F and H schemes). The proposed system offers high resolution both vertically and horizontally, and is applicable to cable TV (CATV), closed-circuit TV (CCTV), video storage, broadcasting, and direct broadcasting satellites (DBS) without any modification of existing facilities for transmission or storage.
