1.3 What is High-Denition Television (HDTV)
What is HDTV and how does it differ from today‘s analog TV? To learn more,
here comes some helpful information.
Analog TV ist the type of TV broadcast you may be most familiar with. A
standard analog TV can display an image at a resolution of 480i (NTSC) or
576i (PAL).
Digital TV is a new system for broadcasting TV signals delivering higher qua-
lity for audio and video. Digital TV requires a television set that can receive
and display digital images at resolutions of 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 576i, 480p
or 480i.
HDTV stands for “High Denition Television” and provides best-ever picture
quality. In 16:9 widescreen format, with Dolby Digital surround sound and
picture resolution almost ve times that of analog TV, HDTV gives viewers a
cinema experience at home.
