Abstract

Significant developments during 1989 are reviewed. In television, testing of a number of high-definition television (HDTV) systems began, work on ghost cancellers continued, and new entries intensified competition in large-screen displays. Videodisc players started to make a comeback, and still video cameras for consumers were introduced. The long-delayed marketing of digital audio tape (DAT) recorders in the US moved closer to reality in June when a joint recommendation setting up copyright protection guidelines was drawn up by leaders of the international recording and consumer electronics industries.<>
