What are Analog TV, Digital TV, NTSC, ATSC, SDTV, and
HDTV?
Analog TV
Analog TV is the TV you’re probably most familiar with. Most of
the TV broadcasts you receive via a standard off-air antenna or
from your local cable company are analog TV broadcasts.
Digital TV
Digital television (sometimes called DTV) is a newer method of
broadcasting TV signals that delivers higher quality audio and
video. Digital TV is broadcast in two sets of formats, SDTV and
HDTV.
6
NTSC
NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) refers to the
group that first established the standards used for conventional
analog television broadcasts and TV equipment.
ATSC
ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) is the group
who has been working to establish the standards for digital
television broadcasts and digital television equipment –
including both SDTV and HDTV.
SDTV
SDTV (Standard-Definition TV) is a digital TV format that
provides a high quality pictur
displayed on standard TV sets (see more on resolutions later in
this chapter).

the highest quality picture at resolutions that can be displayed

What kinds of TV programming can I watch with the TV
SET-UP BOX?
TV SET-UP BOX provides you with the ability to receive
digital
television programs from a wide range of sources, and to
display them on standard definition TV.
Using the Air/Cable jack on the back of the TV SET-UP BOX ,
you can
receive local digital television programs.
To view cable TV programming, programming
subscriptions are also required.
What equipment is required to view Digital programming?
To view digital programming, an addition to your TV SET-UP
BOX, you will need television set.
To receive digital off-air television broadcasts, you’ll need an
off-air antenna.
To receive cable TV programming, you’ll need a cable TV
connection (provided by your local cable TV service provider).

Resolution an interlacing
Two of the elements that determi
ne the quality of a TV picture
are resolution and interlacing.
Resolution: For TV equipment and broadcas
by the number of horizontal lines displayed to make up each frame of
a video image. The more lines of resolution used to draw each frame
of video, the more detailed and sharp the picture will be. Standard TV
resolution uses 480 horizontal lines to make up each of video. HDTV
uses either 720lines, or 1080 lines to make each video frame.
Interlacing: When TVs display video, they display a new video

The specifications for video resolutions are usually stated by
giving the number of horizontal lines, followed by either the
letter “i”, for interlaced video, or “p” for progressive scan video.
The ATSC specification for HDTV broadcasts and equipment
requires either 1080i or 720p. While there is some debate as to
whether it is better to have more
lines that are interlaced that
1080i is highest quality video format.
Input formats
TV SET-UP BOX is able to receive broadcasts in any of the
resolutions mentioned above. It will then do the appropriate
conversion from input signal format to general TV display
format.
The table below details the results you get with each
combination of input signal format.

Aspect ratio
In addition to resolution and interlacing, HDTV is also defined
by the aspect ratio of its broadcasts.
Aspect ratio means the shape of the screen as defined by the
ratio of the screen’s width to its height. For analog TV and
SDTV, the aspect ratio is 4 units wide by 3 units high (usually
written 4:3).This is familiar shape of conventional TVs----slightly
wider than they are tall.
For HDTV broadcasts, the aspect ra
