digital television look like? The broad bandwidth of the new digital television facilitates a whole new spectrum of programming and data services for your home. For example, this bandwidth allows at least 4 standard definition broadcasts to simultaneously display on your digital screen, in addition to displaying data content such as news, stock reports, email, and other data related services. In the near future, your digital television will become an information resource hosting multiple broadcasts in multiple windows while displaying data content in banner strips.

Digital TVs are televisions that can receive and display digital television broadcasts sent using any one of eighteen digital signaling methods. Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) classifies digital televisions in three broad categories: HDTV (High Definition TV), EDTV (Enhanced Digital TV), and SDTV (Standard Definition TV). How my current television different from DTVs? The you watch today based on an analog developed over
multisystem tv it likely that your current was designed to receive analog
signals only. You can receive and display digital broadcasts on your existing analog through a digital to analog converter box; however, its quality compromised by the display limitations of the analog TV. What the difference between HDTV, EDTV, and SDTV? HDTV, EDTV, and SDTV reference the ability of a digital television to re display various digital broadcasts in its original format. Digital broadcasts can be transmitted using any one of eighteen resolution formats (See#4); however, digital televisions differ in their ability to redisplay the image, especially when a high definition imagereceived. HDTVs can receive all 18 formats and re display high definition images using 540 lines (1080 lines interlaced) or 720 lines (progressive scanning method) without down converting. EDTVs can receive all 18 formats including high definition broadcasts and all 18 formats are re displayed at 480 lines using progressive scan method. This
method reduces flicker; however, picture quality may not necessarily outperform 480 interlaced when viewed at normal viewing distances. SDTVs can receive all 18 formats including high definition broadcasts and all 18 formats are re displayed at 480 lines using interlacing (same resolution as current
high definition broadcasts are down converted in order to display the image at 480 lines. What are the 18 formats of ATSC standard? There are 18 digital television formats prescribed by the Advanced Televisions Systems Committee. Six
are considered HDTV formats (1080p, 1080i, and 720p). Each format has a different combination
of screen resolution, scan mode, frame rate, and aspect ratio
requirements. ATSC Picture Display Format Format Vertical Scan Lines Horizontal Pixels Aspect Ratio Scan Mode Frame Rate (fps) 1080p 1080 1920 16:9 Progressive 24 1080p 1080 1920 16:9 Progressive 30 1080i 1080 1920 16:9 Interlaced 30 720p 720 1280 16:9

image. As the number of lines increase, more information displayed, resulting in better picture quality. Traditional analog TVs can display approximately 480 lines, while high definition television can display up to
1080 lines. Horizontal Pixels Each horizontal line in a made up of individual dots (pixels). The higher the number of pixels, the finer the picture becomes. Horizontal pixel measurements using today's technology can range from 250 for a VCR to as much as 500 for a DVD player. Typical digital broadcasts have at least 640 pixels. Aspect Ratio Aspect ratio identifies the ratio of the screen's width over its height. A 16:9 aspect
ratio refers to a wide screen picture format, while a 4:3 refers to a standard format. Scan Mode Interlaced scanning a method that creates a picture with alternating lines of information and the cause for flickering. Progressive scanning a method
