•Analog TV

Historical method of representing a television signal as a replica (analog) of the original picture and sound. This analog of

the original signal is carried throughout the transmitting/ receiving process by altering (modulating) either the strength of the signal (a.k.a. Amplitude Modulation or AM) or the frequency of the signal (a.k.a. Frequency Modulation or FM).

•ATSC Formats

The ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) adopted a group of 18 basic video formats in its digital television standard. These 18 formats define the video signal as a combination of parameters stating vertical and horizontal resolution, frame rates, and scanning formats.

•Digital TV

A method of representing a television signal as a series of numbers. The numbers making up the picture elements are encoded in binary form as a series of 1’s

and 0’s. The digital signal can thus be computationally manipulated to eliminate redundancy (compressed) to allow much higher picture and sound quality to be transmitted in a given spectrum space.

•HDTV (High-Definition Television)

Generally describes a television picture comprised of at least one million pixels (five to ten times greater picture resolution [definition] than standard television) and presented in a “widescreen” (16:9) aspect ratio. HDTV also assumes the capability of multi-channel surround sound.

•QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying)

A means of digital signal transmission in which the binary numbers are converted to symbols which modulate a “carrier” on

a single level both in-phase and out-of-phase (quadrature) with the carrier. QPSK is generally the preferred method of satellite digital transmission because at the receiver only a single level

needs to be detected from a very weak signal.

•SDTV (Standard Definition Television)

Generally describes the resolution (definition) of a “standard” television picture. A “standard” television picture definition is generally assumed to be that of today’s (NTSC) broadcast television signal. However, it could be substantially less (such as VHS quality) or substantially more (such as DVD quality). There

are no audio or picture aspect ratio assumptions.

•VSB (Vestigal Sideband) A means of digital signal transmission in which the binary numbers are converted to symbols which modulate a “carrier” on distinct amplitudes or levels. The VSB method of digital signal modulation was chosen by the ATSC and thus adopted by the FCC as the standard for terrestrial digital signal transmission. VSB

is a very robust method of digital signal transmission particularly suited to terrestrial broadcast.

You've seen how the RCA HDTV

offers the best picture and sound

available, but that's only the

beginning of the story. With the

touch of an extraordinary remote,

you'll be able to scroll through

some of the most simple-to-use,

yet technologically advanced,

menu screens ever offered,

including on-screen displays that

can be controlled by the touch

of a button.

High-Definition Optical System

•New INTELLIFOCUS™ Auto Convergence Menu-selectable option that automatically adjusts the TV's convergence using eight optical sensors mounted around the inside of the screen. It results in the sharpest picture possible with corner-to-corner clarity that has to be seen to be believed.

•New SYNCROSCAN™ HD Component Video Inputs

Automatically adjusts scan rate of component video inputs (YPrPb). Allows for connection of regular or progressive-scan DVD players or component-output HDTV set-top boxes.

•3D Y/C Digital Frame Comb Filter

The ultimate in color separation —this three-dimensional filter evaluates both current and future video information, eliminating dot and edge crawl, while providing for better transitions between scene changes—resulting in a dramatically enhanced picture.

•Auto Color Control Automatically maintains natural flesh tones and color fidelity from channel to channel and scene to scene.

•Deluxe Shielded Tuner with 181-Channel Tuning Capability3 (NTSC)

Special shielding dramatically reduces ghosting caused from off-air pick-up when watching cable channels. Digitally- controlled frequency synthesis tuning system “locks on” to cable and standard signals with unsurpassed accuracy.

•Dynamic BlackStretch Circuitry

Extends black levels in bright scenes to enhance contrast and detail.

•Hi-Gain Dark-Tint Screen— 25% Improved Brightness New screen design improves brightness by 25% while utilizing dark-tint double lenticular and fresnel levels

to enhance picture contrast with blacker blacks, brilliant whites, and deep rich colors.

•High-Performance Scan Velocity Modulation (SVM) Improved SVM circuitry automatically varies the scanning speed of the picture tube’s electron beam to improve sharpness and detail, especially in high-contrast areas.

•NEW Custom-Designed 5-Element Lens System with Color Correction Provides a brighter picture with improved corner focus and overall video resolution. An integrated thermal focus control ensures accurate pinpoint focus by eliminating heat-related lens movement.

•Wide Band Video Amplifier Delivers high resolution and clarity by extending the video frequency response. Optimizes performance from high-resolution sources such as satellite systems, DVD players, and S-Video signals (S-VHS, Hi8).
