A Progress Report on Improved NTSC

This article describes a variety of recent developments that extend the usefulness of the NTSC signal format into the advanced television arena that is now of great interest to television futurists. It will attempt to give an overview of the various areas of NTSC image generation, processing, distribution, and display, which can be improved substantially by the application of a variety of recently developed techniques. The demonstrable result is that a fully expanded NTSC system can indeed be used for many years to come as a fully compatible advanced television system while the ultimate all-digital television broadcast system is under study and development.
