A new television standard that uses digital signals rather than the current analog standard. 1, record 1, English, - HDTV
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
HDTV signals contain over 700 lines of resolution compared to the 525 lines of resolution that analog provides. HDTV also has a wider width to height of the screen for a true theater-like experience. The images are digitized and compressed before signal transmission to enable the tremendous quantity of information to pass through easily. The signals are then decompressed when they reach the television. The result is a clear, crisp picture that transcends any other picture formats. 1, record 1, English, - HDTV
