SAFETY INFORMATION AND USEFUL TIPS
A GUIDE TO DIGITAL TV
What is Digital Television (DTV)? Digital Television (DTV) is relatively new type of broadcasting that promises to transform television viewing into a whole new experience. Digital technology is used to capture images and sound to deliver a better picture quality. DTV technology is also capable of multicasting and interactive capabilities. There are many levels of digital television quality. The most common are: Standard Definition TV (SDTV) SDTV is the basic level of quality display and resolution for both analog and digital. Transmission of SDTV can be in the traditional (4:3) or widescreen (16:9) format. Enhanced Definition TV (EDTV) EDTV is better in picture quality than analog television. The formats for EDTV are 480p widescreen (16:9) or traditional (4:3). EDTV is in the middle range quality between SDTV and HDTV. High Definition TV (HDTV) HDTV has the highest quality for digital broadcast formats. Its resolution is widescreen format (16:9). Combined with digitally enhanced sound technology, HDTV sets new standards for sound and picture quality in television. DTV is by far a more flexible and efficient technology than the analog broadcast system. Analog broadcasts can only provide one program at a time. Digital television can broadcast a high definition program or more than one standard definition program at the same time. This is often referred to as "multicasting". Digital television can also give you interactive video and data services through a single digital channel.
