Chapter 1: Technical Overview
Chapter 1: Technical Overview
When TVs display video, they display a new video frame at a rate that is faster than your eye
can see (from 24 to 60 frames per second, depending on the TV and broadcast). Interlacing
refers to whether each of those frames contains all of the lines of video for each frame or
every other line. Interlaced signals take every other line from 2 frames of video (each lasting
1/60th of a second), and combine them into one frame lasting 1/30th of a second. In this way,
interlacing tricks your eye into thinking it is seeing twice the resolution that is actually being
displayed.
In non-interlaced video, (referred to as progressive scan video), video frames are displayed
every 1/60th of a second containing all of the lines of video information for each frame.
The specifications for video resolutions are usually stated by giving the number of horizontal
lines, followed by either the letter i, for interlaced video, or p for progressive scan video.
Recently there are many progressive display devices such as PDP, LCD and so on. If original
video source is interlaced video, it should be converted into progressive scan video to get best
picture quality on the progressive display devices, which is referred to as ‘scan conversion’or
‘de-interlace.’Scan conversion gets more important than ever as the portion of progressive
display devices increase, because most of video sources are generates as interlaced video.
There have been several methods of scan conversion. Line doubling method is to get a new
pixel data by duplicating upper pixel data. Line doubling method is simplest method, but it
results in poor quality. Intra-interpolation method is to get a new pixel data by taking the mean
of upper and lower pixel data, which results in moderate picture quality and is adopted widely
in earlier days due to relatively low implementation cost. However it is not enough for large
screen display devices. Finally 3-D interpolation method, or combination of intra-interpolation
and inter-interpolation, is to get a new pixel data by taking the mean of pixel data of previous
time as well as pixel data of current time. The 3-D interpolation method results in best picture
quality and it is adopted by degrees in recent days.
Aspect ratio means the shape of the screen as defined by the ratio of the screen’s width to its
height. For analog TV and SDTV, the aspect ratio is 4 units wide by 3 units high (usually
written 4:3). This is the familiar shape of conventional TVs —slightly wider than they are tall.
For HDTV broadcasts, the aspect ratio is 16:9 (nearly twice as wide as it is tall). This is, not
coincidentally, more like the shape of movies shown in theaters. This makes HDTV an ideal
format for broadcasting and viewing movies on a TV.
But what happens if you are watching a nearly square-shaped 4:3 broadcast on a rectangular
16:9 TV, or vice-versa? The Digital Video Station allows you to choose from a variety of
screen formats to help you deal with those scenarios by flexible scaling capability.
To deal with various kinds of video sources and display devices, the Digital Video Station
provides flexible scaling function with independent horizontal and vertical scaling capability.

In April 1997, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that by 2006, all
television broadcasting will be digital. However, Television stations are required to continue
broadcasting regular TV signals along side the digital signals until 2006. Cable and satellite
TV are not affected by the FCC ruling.
According to the FCC, digital broadcasting must be available from each of the four major
networks in each of the top ten markets, covering 30% of households by May 1999. By the
end of 1999, it must be available in the top 30 markets, covering 50% of households.
The FCC has allocated to each of the broadcasters a fixed amount of transmitting “space”for
digital programming. At the highest resolution, High Definition (HDTV), one (1) or two (2)
programs can be transmitted within this “space”. At lower resolutions, Standard Definition
(SDTV), several programs can be simultaneously transmitted. Broadcasters will choose their
own broadcast formats. For example, they may choose to broadcast day programs in SDTV
and night sports and movies in HDTV. Digital Television(DTV) broadcasting will deliver
crystal-clear pictures, approaching the quality of 35mm movies, and compact disc (CD) sound.
HDTV(High Definition Television)
HDTV signal formats are 1080i (interlaced scan) and 720p (progressive scan). HDTV
provides the highest resolution picture and audio in either stereo or 5.1 channel surround
sound.
SDTV(Standard Definition Television)
SDTV signal formats are 480p and 480i. SDTV provides lower resolution, yet presents a very
sharp Clear picture. Lower resolution allows broadcasters to transmit multiple programs per
channel.
Receiving Digital Broadcasts
Most households will be able to receive a digital broadcast by regular antenna with VHF/UHF
reception capability. However, like regular TV signals, it will depend on location, terrain and
environmental factors. Outdoor or attic antennas will generally be more effective than a set-
top antenna. For cable, check with your local cable provider to find out if they will carry the
DTV signal in your area.
rDigital Television
rDigital Audio
Chapter 1: Technical Overview
Chapter 1: Technical Overview
For all HDTV formats, Dolby*Digital surround sound (also commonly referred to as AC-3* or
DD5.1) is the audio standard. AC-3 will provide CD-quality sound. The system provides 3
separate audio channels for the front speakers (left, center, right), 2 channels for the rear
surround sound speakers, plus one channel for subwoofer sound. You will need an external
audio system capable of decoding the AC-3 encoded sound to get the full surround sound
effect. Otherwise, it can be connected directly to your TV or audio system using only the
stereo (left/fight) audio outputs.
Note: The stereo audio outputs are Dolby Surround compatible. You can connect a Dolby
Surround Pro Logic*decoder (not included) to the stereo audio outputs and receive surround
sound.

rBefore making connections
The next step is to make the necessary connections. Before you begin, please note the
following
important safety and setup tips.
Protect your components from power surges
•Always turn off and unplug your Digital Video Station, TV and any other components before
connecting or disconnecting any of the cables.
Position all cables correctly to avoid hum and interference
•After connecting the components, please run the audio/video cable along the side of the TV
set, rather then straight down to the back of the TV.
•Make sure that all cables are plugged or screwed tightly into their jacks.
•Please make sure that cables are properly grounded.
•Whenever possible, route audio and video cables away from power cords.
Protecting your components from overheating
•Do not block ventilation holes on the top of the Digital Video Station Receiver or any other
component. Make sure to position the components so that air can circulate freely.
•If you are positioning the components in a stand or a rack, make sure to allow for proper
ventilation.
•Do not stack components.
•If you have a stereo amplifier or receiver as a system component, please place it on top shelf
or top rack so that hot air rising from it will not flow around other component.
Make strong connection
•Make sure you securely connect cables when making connections. When a tight fit makes a
secure connection difficult, you can sometimes make it easier by gently twisting the cable-
end while pushing it onto the jack. (Important: never twist S-Video or Optical Digital audio
cables-they have specially shaped ends that must be correctly oriented before connecting.)
Avoid cable damage
•Never kink, bend, or twist optical digital audio cable; doing so might break the fragile optical
fiber they contain, rendering them unable to carry a signal.
