  • Abstract
    A high-definition TV (HDTV) scanning standard based on three times the NTSC horizontal scanning frequency is proposed called 3XNTSC. This standard provides a 1575-line 2:1 interlaced picture with easy conversion to existing formats and can carry 1125-line/60-Hz wide-film material in a 16:9 window. The author describes the production scanning standard and analog bandwidth requirements, as well as the proposed system´s relation to currently existing TV systems.
