  • Abstract
    The characteristics of digital high-definition television (HDTV) and its advantages over analog and hybrid systems are described. The issues to be addressed in using digital transmission in the terrestrial broadcast environment are examined. Four proposed digital HDTV systems are discussed, and their similarities and differences are highlighted. Key techniques are the use of complex compression coding and motion compensation algorithms.<>
