Aspect Ratio

The ratio between the width and height of the TV picture on the screen. In a normal TV set the

 

 

 

aspect ratio is 4 to 3 (4:3). The new aspect ratio in HDTV is 16:9 which resembles the aspect

 

 

ratio in a movie

 

 

theatre (Widescreen). New TV systems support both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio and can automat-

 

 

ically switch between them.

included inside TV sets or via a cable receiver box.

 

HDTV

The generally agreed upon definition of HDTV is approximately twice the vertical and

 

 

horizontal picture resolution of today’s NTSC TV, which essentially makes the picture twice

 

 

as sharp. HDTV also has a screen ratio of 16:9 as compared with most of today’s TV screens,

 

 

which have a screen ratio of 4:3. HDTV offers reduced motion artifacts (i.e. ghosting, dot crawl),

 

 

and offers 5.1 independent channels of CD-quality stereo surround sound, (also referred to as

 

 

AC-3).

 

NTSC

In Progressive Scanning all the horizontal scan lines are scanned on to the screen at one time.

 

 

The Digital TV and HDTV Standards accept both Interlaced Scan and Progressive Scan broadcast

 

 

and display methods.

 

Resolution

Resolution: A measurement of the finest (smallest) detail that is visible in a video image. TV

 

 

Resolutions may be expressed as number of pixels in an image; or more commonly,

 

 

As Total Number of (horizontally scanned) Lines used to create the image.

 

 

Standard Digital TV Resolutions:

 

 

SDTV: 480i - The picture is 704x480 pixels, 480p - The picture is 704x480 pixels.

 

 

HDTV: 720p - The picture is 1280x720 pixels, 1080i - The picture is 1920x1080 pixels,
