Introduction HDTV

 High Definition Television

 Digital television broadcasting system
 Research begins in 1980s
 First HDTV sets hit the market in 1998
Basic Components of HDTV system

1. HDTV Monitor
2. HD satellite receiver
3. Standard satellite dish
4. HDMI cable

Aspect Ratio

 Width-to-height
ratio
 Fovea has greater
area along width
than height
Pixel Count

SDTV HDTV
704x480 1280x720p
1920x1080i
Scanning
 Interlaced:
Redraws every second line in one refresh and
remaining in second refresh

 Progressive:
Redraws all the lines in each refresh
SCAN
SCAN
 Interlaced scan splits each video frame into two "fields,"
displaying all the even horizontal scan lines (2,4,6...) in
1/60th of a second, followed by the odd scan lines
(1,3,5...) during the next 1/60th of a second. That means
you'll see a complete video frame every 1/30th of a
second
 Progressive scan, on the other hand, displays all the lines
in a single sweep (1,2,3,4...). You'll see a complete frame
every 1/60th of a second.
REFRESH RATE
 Q: What is "120Hz refresh rate"?
A: Picture tubes are progressive-scan by nature,
displaying 60 video frames per second — often
referred to as "60Hz." HDTVs with 120Hz refresh
rate double the standard rate to 120 frames per
second. Because each video frame appears for only
half the normal amount of time, on-screen motion
looks smoother and more fluid, with less motion blur
and smearing. It's especially noticeable when
viewing fast-action sports and video games.

Why opt for HDTV?

 Wide screen format

 Better Resolution
 Quality of sound
 Digital superiority
 No more ghost images
 Progressive scanning
Drawbacks

 Expensive
 Need for a digital tuner
 Analog signals are cohesive over a greater distance than
an equivalent digital signal
 Requires more bandwidth
Conclusion
 HDTV gives “Theatre like
experience!”
