Just what it says, I need a pointer (or email) on the timing specs for HDTV (yes, I know US won't have a standard till 1993), primarily the Japanese format currently being used. I need detailed info on line count, field timing, sync signals and waveforms. Also, if anyone has some data on HDTV recording equipment, this would be extremly usefull as well. Thanks for the time Harrison Cooper N7KST Evans & Sutherland Flight Simulation Division 600 Komas Drive Salt Lake City, Utah 84158 (801) 582-5847

Also, if anyone has > some data on HDTV recording equipment, this would be extremly usefull as I would look up in the library, the IEEE periodicals on Communications and Broadcasting, the SMPTE Journal and its 240M Standard for 1125/60 system. There is a new book available called HDTV Advanced Television for the 1990s by K.B. Benson and D.G. Fink from McGraw-Hill ISBN 0-07-020983-9 for about $40. Its technical, written for engineers and scientists.

In addition to IEEE Transactions on Broadcasting, the Transactions on Consumer Electronics has a lot of material on HDTV. Both series of transactions have had special issues devoted to HDTV in recent years. The most recent issue of Trans on Broadcasting has papers on Digicipher and HD-MAC for example. IEEE will sell these to members and nonmembers. I don't recall seeing anything recently in their communications oriented publications lately. There was a recent issue of Proceedings of the IEEE on satellite communications, and some of the papers address issues related to satellite delivered HDTV. I've flipped through that book and it looks good. It appears to have used a lot of material from the above IEEE publications (or maybe all HDTV diagrams look alike :-) ). It might be simpler to buy it than getting the other publications. gary hughes @star.dec.com
