MBC began its own intercast service in March of 1997. MBC pledges to continue its efforts toward a greater variety even in the internet-casting. Broadcasting MBC started the Korean style GCR signal broadcasting in February 1997, for the betterment of NTSC TV quality. By comparing the received distorted GCR signal to a stored reference GCR signal, the receiver can configure an appropriate channel compensation filter to reverse the distortion introduced in the transmission path, thus providing the viewer with perfect screen images every time. This Korean style TV subscription recording system is useful for viewers who wish to record programs to watch at a later time.
Viewers simply look at the TV listings and press a button.
The system automatically makes adjustments for any changes in time or even cancellation of the program. MBC has been providing KBPS service since 1995. The data can be reproduced as sound and be used for broadcasting when necessary. This is the broadcast data still picture system. It supports the DB input and output of Quantel images taken by digital cameras, and input and output of basic materials coming through the internet.
