The HDTV Digital Broadcast has a 16x9 picture format with resolutions far exceeding the present analog system and the common computer formats. The HDTV formats are defined as 1080 interlaced or 720 progressive scan lines. This vertical resolution coupled with a horizontal resolution of 1920 or 1280 pixels respectively, produces truly outstanding picture quality. The rapid growth of the new HDTV Digital Broadcast system will result in it replacing the present analog broadcast system. The present FCC schedule is for the current analog system to be discontinued by the year 2006.
Pixels make up the video information on a television screen.
The 16X9 Performax Expansion Series product line is designed to support the new Digital Broadcast with a 1080I or 720 P HDTV resolution capability. Site Search Plug-ins used. Thomson multimedia Inc. All rights reserved. All rights reserved.
