SMPTE Technical Note: From Studio to Home — How Good is the Electronic Highway?

Alexander G. Day

A picture in the home is worth two in the studio. This is only true, however, if in transportation, the picture is not degraded appreciably. Present distribution techniques for NTSC television cannot reproduce studio quality. Improved pictures in the studio have little future application unless they can be delivered to the home either retaining their intrinsic improvements or being reconstructed by sophisticated receiver circuitry.
