Not since RCA introduced
color television in 1954 has
the world of home entertainment undergone such
a major change. The new digital broadcast signals will
give you an amazingly lifelike picture and Dolby1Digital
sound. HDTV offers over 1 million pixels of resolution
that is unlike anything seen before. The 16:9 screen
ratio allows you to watch movies the way they were
meant to be seen without letter-boxing. Sports look
and sound so real, you would swear that you were
in the stadium. Home entertainment will never be the
same and an RCA HDTV is the best way to enjoy the
new age in television.
Nothing compares to the excitement of the silver screen.
Until now.

RCA High-Definition is the
new definition for television.
Movies will look like movies!
What is the HDTV picture difference?
The first time you see
HDTV, you might not
believe your eyes!
We could compare it to a movie screen,
but it’s actually better. Better because RCA
HDTV’s innovative technology puts you in
the heart of the action. In fact, it’s the
closest thing to being there. Speaking of
better, the RCA HDTV is not only the most
technologically advanced television we
have ever made, it is also easy to operate.
We have incorporated a navigational system
that operates with the touch of a button
on the remote control. We have also included
a tuner that automatically deciphers the
incoming video and audio information and
translates it into the lifelike pictures and
sounds of your favorite programs. With
these convenient features of an RCA HDTV,
you don’t have to be a technological
wonder to enjoy the wonders of technology.
For nearly 60 years, analog television has been the broadcast standard. This standard is now
being replaced by digital television, which uses a continuous stream of numbers to transmit
picture, sound, and information. This new method produces amazing results. The RCA HDTV
delivers its brilliantly clear picture on a rectangular 16:9 ratio screen. It also features the
incomparable Dolby1Digital audio system that makes the sound as lifelike as the picture.
This combination delivers an entertainment experience that is unmatchable.
Changing Entertainment. Again.
4:3 ratio
16:9 ratio
HDTV
Standard NTSC broadcast
The digital information of HDTV is translated into pixels. The higher the pixel number, the
better the picture. HDTV can receive up to ten times as many pixels as today’s TV—that’s
2,000,0000 pixels compared to 200,000 you get with normal analog technology. That
gives you the sharpest, clearest picture ever available with virtually no lines. The first time
you see the picture on RCA HDTV, you might not believe your eyes.
1920 X 1080 Lines =
2,073,600 pixels
200,000+ pixels
Most televisions have a
4:3 aspect ratio, but movie
aspect ratios are closer to
16:9. With RCA HDTV,
you’ll see more — the
whole picture, complete —
of every program broadcast
in the widescreen format.
Pixel Comparison
Today’s broadcast signal lights up about
200,000 pixels arranged in a 4:3 rectangle.
High-definition digital television is different.
At the very minimum, over-the-air digital
television offers a picture that’s 640 pixels
wide by 480 pixels high—that’s over 300,000
pixels (about 50% more than today’s TV).
Since we know that more pixels means more
visual information, we’re talking about a
sharper picture. In the past, a sharper picture
was just...sharper. But with digital television,
there’s a way to quantify just how sharp it is.
From the minimum of 300,000 pixels all the
way up to about a million pixels is called
standard definition digital television, or SDTV.
High-definition digital television, or HDTV,
starts at around a million pixels and can go
all the way up to 2 million—almost 10 times
the resolution of today’s TV.

When will I be able
to see HDTV?
With DIRECTV® , you will have HDTV program-
ming options wherever you live. Over-the-air
broadcasts of digital television begin in the
top ten U.S. television markets in late 1998,
expanding to the top 30 markets gradually
by the turn of the century. All over-the-air
stations must be broadcasting digital signals
by 2003. Current analog signals will be
available at least until 2006.
