[can.usrgroup] HDTV

Somone mentioned at table after the UU meeting that the U.S. had
approved a standard for HDTV (high definition TV, eh?)

Could that person write to me in E-Mail and tell me what
standard was approved, since I have forgotten the specs?

Thank you.

It was me, Taras@gpu or taras@guppie or taras@gpu.utcs.utoronto.ca,
The production standard, which is different from transmission standard
for hdtv is 1125/60 or the NHK standard.  Transmission is still not
settled, but will not be required to be compatible with NTSC, which
is a relief.  Further developments are due to come out of the Pentagone.


If you have any more question, give me a call.
