Glossary

Digital Television

Digital Television (D'I-V) broadcasts are now available in 10 major U.S. markets.
Broadcasts are in both high definition (HDIV) and standard definition (SD'I-V). The

HDI-V signal formats are 1080i (interlaced scan) and 720p (progressive scan). SD-I-V
signal formats are 480i and 480p.

SDTV-Compatible (480p/480i)

SDTV-compatible TV models process and display the standard definition output with
the use of a Panasonic D'I'VoSTB at 480 lines, interlaced or progressive scan. When

DIV programming is available, you can view it in the standard format, either 4:3

aspect ratio or 16:9 aspect ratio.

DTV Compatibility

This TV is capable of displaying only the 480p/480i SDI-V signal using the Panasonic

DTV-STB. In order to view DIV programming, the STB must be connected to the TV
component video inputs (Y, PB, PR) and audio inputs and in DTV mode. A DTV signal
must be available in your area and the D'I-V-STB must be tuned to the proper channel.

GLOSSARY

Progressive Scan

Progressive scan de-interlaces the incoming signal and progressively scans the
image. This allows you to sit very close to the TV and not see the thin black horizontal
scan lines (venetian blind effect) associated with an interlaced picture.

FREQUENTL Y ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT DIGITAL TV

Frequently Asked Questions About Digital TV

What is digital TV (DTV)?

In April 1997, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) announced that by
2006, all television broadcasting will be digital. Digital "IV broadca_iting delivers
crystal-clear pictures, approaching the quality of 35mm movies and CD (compact disc)
sound. Digital broadcasts include both High Definition Television (HDTV) and

Standard Definition Television (SDTV). Broadcasters may choose their own broadcast
formats.

HDTV (High Definition Television)

One form of digital broadcasting is HD-I'V, which provides the highest resolution
picture. Besides incredible picture, the sound is available in the 5.1 channel surround

sound.

SDTV (Standard Definition Television)
Another form of digital broadcasting is SDTV, which provides lower resolution, but still

presents a very sharp, clear picture. Lower resolution allows broadcasters to transmit
more than one program per channel.

When will TV stations start broadcasting digital signals?

Television stations are required to continue broadcasting regular IV signals along

side the digital signals until 2006. Cable TV and satellite "IV are not affected by this

FCC ruling.

All stations are required to become digital by 2006. This will be an evolutionary

process. According to the FCC, digital broadcasting must be available in the top ten
markets, covering 30% of households by May 1999. By the end of 1999, digital

broadcasting must be available in the top 30 markets, covering 50% of households.

Will I be able to adapt my current TV to receive digital broadcasts?

Manufacturers will offer a digital "IV set-top box (D'I'V-STB) which will allow current

televisions to display digitally broadcast programs. The picture and sound quality will

be about the same as small dish digital satellite systems today.
Conventional televisions (non-digital televisions) will not be able to display the HDTV

resolution quality or sound.

What digital formats will broadcasters use?

There are presently four DTV formats: 1080i (interlaced), 720p (progressive), 480i

and 480p. The higher numbers indicate a higher resolution picture.
In an interlaced picture, the odd numbered lines (picture information) are scanned first

creating field 1 and then the even numbered lines are scanned, creating field 2. The

two fields are then interlaced to provide the entire image (one frame). This process

happens in 1/30 th of a second and is invisible to the human eye. In progressive
scanning, all lines in the entire frame are scanned sequentially in 1/60 th of a second.

Broadcasters may choose to transmit different levels of resolution throughout the day,
broadcasting day programs in SDTV and night sports and movies in HDTV.
