High Definition Television




DEFINITION: HDTV is generally recognized as a digital
video broadcast with a minimum resolution of 1280
pixels wide and 720 pixels high, a rate of 30 or more
frames/second and usually an aspect ratio of 16:9.

                                                        4
HDTV History
• Early 1980’s:
  – Japan created analog HDTV
• Mid-1980s:
  – US, trying to stay competitive, decided to go
    digital
  – Congress gave stations a separate channel for
    transition to digital broadcast with the goal of all
    stations using digital broadcasts by 2006.
Currently...


• Less than 15% of US homes have HDTV
  capabilities
• Approximately 21% of stations have digital
  broadcasts
High Definition Television
A standard definition analog television uses a
cathode ray tube with an electron gun to guide
the path of an electron beam to “paint” 480
vertical lines across the face of the screen. Each
time the beam strikes a dot of phosphor, light is
produced. For a color television set, each spot
consists of a group of three phosphor elements;
one for each primary color.

HOW HD WORK




              8
Implementation - Display technologies


•   Plasma – Like LCD monitors, plasma HDTV sets are thin and are made up of cells
    that correspond to pixels sandwiched between glass plates. Plasma cells contain three
    separate gas-fill sub-cells, one for each color. When a current is applied to a sub-cell,
    it ionizes the gas emitting ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light in turn excites
    fluorescent substances in the sub-cells that emit red, blue or green light.

•   DLP – Digital light processing is a technology used in projection displays. In DLP
    monitors, light is reflected off an array of microscopic hinged mirrors. Each tiny
    mirror corresponds to a visible pixel. The light is channeled through a lens onto the
    surface of the screen. Single chip DLP projectors can display 16.7 million colors. 3-
    chip projectors can display 35 trillion colors.

•   LCoS – Similar to DLP, LCoS projection systems use liquid crystals instead of mirrors
    to block light. The liquid crystals are arranged in a grid in front of a highly reflective
    surface.
Motion Blur

A sequence of images such of a movie or
animation
HD TV Screen Refresh Rates

•A rate of 24 frames/second (progressive) has
been the movie film standard since the mid-20’s


•The television industry has used a rate of 60
frames/second (interlaced) since the 40’s

•Newer HDTV’s are being marketed as 120 Hz
and 240 Hz using circuitry to help reduce motion
blur



                                                   11
Technical Aspects

Frame rate conversion - 3-2 pulldown
What is a format?

                        Formats are described by:

Number           Number
                                   Scanning      Picture        Frame rate
of active pixels of active lines
                                   mode          aspect ratio
per line         per frame


                       Current main standards are:


          SMPTE 274 M                                SMPTE 296 M




                                                                        14
Archiving High definition

High definition video                    Standard definition video


1980 pixels 1080 lines                   720 pixels 576 lines


 1- hour programme file size :           1- hour programme file size :
from374 GB to 673 GB*                    72 GB




                          To archive HD, Compression
                                could be required.

                                                                         15
HDTV & SDTV Comparison

• Judging simply on pixel count, a 1080i HDTV
  image is 6 - 9 times better than a standard, NTSC
  image


• Audio is also improved.
HDTV & SDTV Comparison
Advantages
• By using lower-definition signals, one channel
  can be split into several channels
• Extra channels used for:
  – information services (datacasting)
  – music
  – Internet services
HDTV Features
• Provides up to 60 frames/sec screen writing
  rate
• Uses MPEG-2 data compression
  – source info data rate is 1.2Gbps
  – broadcast data rate is 20Mbps
• Square pixels 1/4 the size of analog TV’s pixels

Impact of HDTV

• Broadcasters & consumers spend more $



• Increased visual clarity has forced designers to spend
  considerably more money on sets, set dressings


• Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD
Future of HD

• DEC 2012: All commercial stations must begin
  digital broadcasts

• Move will be cheaper, quicker, and easier as products
  and services become more widespread and people
  grow accustomed to the new technology.

• Super HD TV
Conclusion


•   As NTSC retires, HDTV programming, products, and
    production services will continue to grow exponentially.


•   HDTV has brought a more cinematic experience into
    viewer’s homes and with digital cinema, delivered the film
    industry a few of the benefits of television. However,
    HDTV still has much lower resolution than 70mm film.
    It’s a matter of time before some will begin pressuring for
    another increase in quality.

  • 23. Impact of HDTV • Broadcasters & consumers spend more $ • Increased visual clarity has forced designers to spend considerably more money on sets, set dressings • Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD
  • 24. Future of HD • DEC 2012: All commercial stations must begin digital broadcasts • Move will be cheaper, quicker, and easier as products and services become more widespread and people grow accustomed to the new technology. • Super HD TV
  • 25. Conclusion • As NTSC retires, HDTV programming, products, and production services will continue to grow exponentially. • HDTV has brought a more cinematic experience into viewer’s homes and with digital cinema, delivered the film industry a few of the benefits of television.

Editor's Notes

  1. The average domestic TV in Australia has all sorts of distortions. Digital TV will remove those distortions. Just like a CD, you never hear a scratched CD. It’s either perfect or it’s nothing.
  2. A Format is described by: The number of active pixels per line, the number of active lines per frame. Then, it is completed, by the scanning mode, the aspect ratio and the frame rate. Current main standards are: SMPTE 274 M SMPTE 296 M and finally, ITU R BT 709 5. 30’
  3. Archiving uncompressed high definition requires far more storage capacity than SD. ( 5 to 10 times more ) . So , to archive HD, compression could be required
  4. That would also work with satellite or cable set top boxes. Your provider will give, sell, or rent you the appropriate set top box that puts out an analog signal even though it is receiving a digital signal from their service. Your VCR and DVD player would still operate in analog. Older or cheaper analog TVs may not have enough Composite or S-Video connectors to connect all your accessories, but most newer or higher quality sets should have enough.
  5. A digital TV should work fine with the appropriate cable or satellite set top box. Most digital TVs are expected to be able to display an analog signal, so your VCR and DVD player should still work as players. It may depend on the set top box (check with your provider) whether it will also be able to output an analog signal to the VCR for recording video. Future (HD or Blue Ray) DVD players (or recorders) will output a digital signal, so they will be connected to a digital TV via component or HDMI connectors. It’s unclear whether any STBs will be able to output an analog signal (for your VCR). So, VCRs may not be able to record in a digital world. Some DVDs are able to record, so it’s assumed, that they can record a digital signal, but that may only be true of the newer DVD recorders.
