Toshinori Tsuboi, Koichi Asatani, Tetsuya Miki

HDTV is expected to be the next-generation television system. This article presents major fiber-optic technologies for HDTV transmission and concepts for an HDTV distribution system, as well as the main HDTV experiments in Japan. A system, employing a time-compression multiplexing format, has been developed in Japan and is being field-tested. Design concepts for HDTV distribution networks and future applications are also discussed.
