- Digital Channel Selection Delay -

• Due to the tuning complexity of “subchannel” digital programming (see explanation section to the left), the time to select and view a digital channel may take slightly longer than what the viewer is normally accustomed to (as compared to Analog channel programs.)

Digital channel broadcasts contain program and system data information that also must be processed before the channel selection can be displayed.

- DTV Antenna Reception -

• Contact your dealer for the best

DTV Antenna reception options available for your area.

Both Indoor and Outdoor omnidirectional UHF/VHF antennas can be used to receive digital broadcast signals, but seek your dealer’s expert advice for the best in quality equipment to match your DPTV.

Autoprogramming in progress.

This may take several minutes.

Cancel

Installing

Initial Digital broadcasts will be ava lable through Overthe-Air signal,

Direct-Satellite transmission, and on some Cable TV operator systems.

Route the DTV signal connection to the DTV Antenna plug on the rear of the DPTV. See page

8 for further details.

Note: The new standards (for bandwidth and signal compression) employed with digital ATSC broadcasting make it possible to receive multiple program channels under a single “major” channel number. For example, under a traditional channel “6” broadcast program number you might be able to find as many as four or more additional programs available for selection. These so called “subchannels” might carry a

“06.01, 06.02, 06.03, etc.” type station number designation and could be selected by pressing a four digit remote control direct-access channel number entry.

The multiplication and diversity of sub-channel programming is contingent upon the decisions of broadcasters and how the space allocated for high-definition television signals might be used. The content and information available with sub-channels will be an evolving digital issue which could experience redirection on a number of multicasting information technology pathways. For example, the

“squeezing” of numerous

Standard Definition digital channels (SDTV) into signal bandwidths could be used rather than dedicating the total signal spectrum to true

High Definition (HDTV) broadcasts that would rival the picture resolution and quality of film or cinema. o n

Auto Program

• Note: Program and System Info or

(PSIP) is carried automatically within the digital signal for program broadcasts available in your area. PSIP contains the signal encoding necessary for the reception of digital audio processing, as well as the new Parental Content

Analog vs. Digital Antenna Signals

(Strength and Direction Traits)

• Existing analog broadcast signals experience increasing picture snow/ghosts/or interference as the transmitted signal travels further from the original broadcasting tower. The farther out you move the reception point, the more the broadcast signal degrades or grows weaker.

• Digital broadcast reception maintains a clearer, more interference free picture throughout its broadcast range, but once the limit of its broadcast range is reached the picture will quickly drop from the screen (rather than a slower picture quality degrade as is the case with analog reception.)

PICTURE MENU FUNCTIONS

• Select to adjust separate Color and Picture controls on the

DPTV. When the slide bar scales are centered, control settings are at normal mid-range levels.

• Use the Convergence control to line up the Red and Blue light paths for the DPTV screen.

T he switch to digital programming won’t happen overnight, but broadcasters are different frequency modulation than cable signals, is unresolved

(as of the date of this publication.) Although some cable operators promise that digital set-top boxes or decoders will be available to pass HDTV signals to digital TV sets, no official

“must carry” design for the interfacing of cable TV programming and digital TV technologies has been agreed upon.

Even without firm program launch dates or established guidelines, digital cable decoder equipment and program offering plans (by such cable program providers as HBO, Turner

Broadcasting and the Discovery

Channel) are all underway for the interconnection of cable TV and the arrival of HDTV. It may not have immediate solutions at the outset, but market and industry demands should speed cable operators to provide for the HDTV signal to make it into the cable supplied home.

Direct-broadcast satellite system

(DSS) providers (such as Direc

Tv, Unity Motion, Dish

Network, etc.) have also announced plans to deliver

HDTV to its customer base in the spring of 1999. DSS subscribers will likely need upgraded dish and satellite receiver designed equipment to complete their digital reception package, but a number of providers are working on both off-the-air signal and direct satellite feed solutions. beginning the task of converting equipment and production capabilities to meet the FCC’s rules for signal format and launch of digital TV.

The first step for the networks will be to supply their affiliates with one satellite program feed for continuing NTSC service (at least thru the year 2006), and another feed for a single channel of HDTV (or SDTV format channels). ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS networks are all attempting to broadcast some

HDTV programming beginning in the fall of 1998 (see the digital InfOrmation section to the right for specific plans and details), but much in the way of new digital broadcast tower construction, site zoning and other conversion issues will need to be resolved in order for the broadcasts to begin in earnest.

In the beginning local stations can offer different programming on their allotted digital channel space, but as time passes the percentage of NTSC programs that must be converted to digital “simulcast” broadcasts will increase (in order to meet specified conversion schedule requirements.)

Digital Television (DTV) is the umbrella term used to describe the new digital television system adopted by the FCC. DTV is an open standard with few specific format rules for the implementation of

HDTV/SDTV/and a host of potential data broadcast applications. Although there are certain guidelines for frequency/bit rates/transmission power/etc. the FCC has taken the position that the marketplace should decide or dictate what formats will best serve the public.

• High Definition Television (HDTV) is approximately twice the vertical and horizontal resolution of today’s NTSC TV. Because of the extra width (16:9) format of HDTV the picture contains about five times as much information (or pixels) as conventional TV.

HDTV also includes 5.1 channels of Dolby

Digital surround sound to be broadcast through two front speakers; one center speaker; two rear back speakers; and a separate bass channel or subwoofer signal.

• HDTV refers to the product/system with the following minimum performance specs:

- Resolution: vertical display resolution of

720P, 1080I, or higher

- Aspect Ratio: capable of displaying 16:9 format images at the minimum resolution levels

- Audio: receives, reproduces, and/or outputs

Dolby digital audio

- Receiver: receives all ATSC (Table 3) formats

• Standard Definition Television (SDTV) offers about the same picture resolution as today’s

NTSC TV, but the picture quality is improved because of the lack of snow and ghosts that accompany normal NTSC over-the-air broadcasting.

Multiple channels are possible with SDTV since the 6-MHz signal space allotted for digital broadcasts can be used for other types of less data filled format programming.

• Standard Definition Television (SDTV) refers to the product/system with the following performance attributes:

- Resolution: display resolution lower than that of HDTV

- Aspect Ratio: none specified

- Audio: produces useable audio

- Receiver: receives all ATSC (Table 3) formats and produces a useable picture

While they may differ on the choice of digital formats

(1080i, 720p, 480i, etc.) the netw orks broadcast plans center mainly on select primetime * program viewing.

Because of the production techniques and equipment upgrades necessary for digital broadcasts the telecasting of sports or other live events will not become available until audience view ership can justify costs.

Some initial netw ork plans for digital broadcasts:

ABC- Wonderful

W orld of Disney (in

720p format); to phase in other

HDTV broadcasts later.

CBS- proposed to send five hours of

1080i programming per week

NBC- to begin shooting The

Tonight Show with

Jay Leno in HDTV beginning in 1999; also plans to show other primetime show s in HDTV

Fox to distribute some portion of its schedule in 720p

HDTV.

PROGRESSIVE (P)

AND

INTERLACE (I) SCAN

• Progressive and Interlace refer to the method in which the video from a picture telecast is scanned or displayed on the TV screen.

- Interlace scans or paints half the vertical lines for the picture on the screen every 1/60 of a second. Then the rest of the picture is filled in between the lines of the first half on a followup scan. The speed of this process is so fast that it appears to the eye as being one complete picture. Due to the amount of information contained in a 1080-line

HD picture, interlace is needed to fit the format into the allotted

6MHz channel space.

- Progressive scans or paints the entire video picture one line after another. Used with today’s computer monitors this progressive process can eliminate some of the picture artifacts found with interlace scan, but does require a larger bandwidth in order to deliver programs at the same frame rate.

INTERLACE FIELDS

(Separate scans sent every 1/60 of a second)

The interlace scan process was first used with

NTSC broadcasts to conserve video bandwidth space. With certain scenes or video material the interlace process can cause image blurring or other visual screen artifacts.

FREQUENTLY ASKED DTV QUESTIONS

Q: What are the goals of DTV?

A: In the United States the commitment for free and local digital broadcasts is a main standard for the new ATSC system. The reception and interaction of local terrestrial broadcasting for DTV programming is to remain the same regardless of the region or area of the country in which you reside.

Q: How long will the transition to

DTV take?

A: The move to digital programming will shift from initial select program offerings; to increased simulcast availability; to the ultimate return of analog NTSC broadcast channels to the federal government in 2006. The NTSC and ATSC systems will coexist for years to come (with possible date extensions provided for the return of NTSC system channels if needed.)

Products such as the HD6400W

DPTV are uniquely positioned with operation capability matched for both the NTSC and ATSC systems.

Q: What’s in the future for DTV?

A: Because of the computer, multimedia, and broadcast services involved in setting ATSC and signal compression standards, DTV picture formats can be universally adopted not only for TV broadcasts but also for computer and other interrelated web and network service purposes.

*Outside of the primetime slot for netw ork digital show s local stations can provide different programming on their digital broadcast channel.

They are free to convert current

NTSC programming into digital SDTV or even upgrade their signal to true HDTV.

ABC, NBC and Fox are advising affiliates to use 480p for the majority of its broadcast day, while CBS recommends its stations use the 480i format.
