A Guide to Digital TV

What is Digital Television?

Digital television (DTV) is a new way of transmitting high quality video and audio to your TV set. Using DTV, broadcasters can

transmit high definition TV (HDTV) images, Dolby digital surround audio, and new services such as multicasting (transmitting

more than one program on the same TV channel) and datacasting. Several of these services can be combined into a single digital

broadcast.

Digital Television Services

Digital Picture Quality

DTV programs are transmitted in two different formats. The first is Standard Definition Television (SDTV) and the second is High

Definition Television (HDTV).

SDTV

program formats include 480-line interlaced (480i) and 480-line progressive (480p) video. 480i programs are essentially

a digital version of our current analog TV programs, while the 480p format offers improved image detail over 480i. Some 480p

programs are broadcast in widescreen and are comparable to progressive-scan DVD movies in image quality.

HDTV

program formats include 1080-line interlaced (1080i) and 720-line progressive (720p). Both HDTV formats are always

broadcast in widescreen, and offer much higher picture quality than SDTV.
