HDTV - High Definition Television
Television, one of the greatest entertainment devices ever
created.
Back in the day, people were outstanded by the capability of
being able to watch broadcasts in black & white.
People were amazed by the technology of being able to watch live
broadcasts from across the world, films and sports all whilst
not having to leave their homes.
Then came along colour!
Obviously, we have come a long way since then, what with the
capabilities of computers and the internet, video calling and
other technological advances, having colour television all seems
a bit primitive.
Since colour television there also have been some more advances
for our viewing pleasure.
There was the VCR, giving people the choice of recording their
programmes or buying video's for their kids.
Then came along DVD. DVD produced improved quality in audio and
visual a normal VCR cassette couldn't compete with, as well as
separating the films into scenes and sections, and adding
extras.
Now with digital television widely becoming the standard, we
have LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) & Plasma screens, again
improving picture quality whilst saving space. But it
doesn't
stop there.
The new technology that again, will improve the viewing pleasure
is 'High Definition TV' or HDTV for short.
So, what is HDTV?
HDTV is the latest generation of digital TV, providing life-like
picture quality, at least four times superior to current
standards. It will provide extremely clear and fine picture
detail with richer colours, improving the visual experience.
At launch, HDTV is thought to be available from BSkyB. In order
to view programmes broadcast in 'High Definition', a soon to be
released HDTV Sky Receiver with Sky+ technology will be
required. In addition, the benefit of High Definition will only
be apparent through a HDTV television (ideally plasma or LCD).
Please note, not all Plasma & LCD televisions currently
available are HDTV compatible. It is expected to become
available in the first quarter of 2006.
