What
is HDTV?
HDTV
stands for high definition television, and it is just that. This is a different
type of signal and picture quality, audio and format than what is traditionally
seen through out the country. To put it simply HDTV signal can produce six times
the amount of information that a current cable, antenna, or satellite signal can
bring into your home. This translates to unbelievable detail and clarity of your
favorite programs.
How
are HDTVs different from my current TV?
Current televisions
have the ability to show pictures made up of 525 lines of resolution. The HD television
can create 1080 lines with an even wider viewing surface. Around 300,000 pixel
dots make up a picture on your current television. With HDTV over 2 million pixels
are produced. This in turn gives you the added information to produce the impeccable
clarity and detail. HD televisions are also usually wide screen (16x9) formatted,
similar to a cinema screen. Most televisions are in the standard (4x3) format.
The reason for the change in the design of HD televisions from the standard to
wide screen is because the HDTV signal is broadcast in the wide screen format.
This gives you a much larger viewing area exactly as the filmmaker intended.
If
I buy an HD television can I start viewing HD programming?
Not
exactly. Just because you purchase a television that is HD or HD ready doesn't
mean you are seeing high definition. In order to put your new HD television to
work you must first have the proper equipment in place to receive the HD broadcast.
HDTV is broadcast via terrestrial antenna, multi-sat HD satellite systems, HD
cable systems, and HD VHS players.
