Abstract
This paper presents an economically attractive system for the hierarchical evolution of High Definition Television (HDTV) compatible with the NTSC installed base. It describes the two main signals of this system: HDMAC-60 and HDNTSC. The first, HDMAC-60, is a feeder signal for use between the program origination and program redistribution points, and used also as a DBS emission format. The second, HDNTSC, is a delivery signal for high definition terrestrial broadcast, CATV distribution and VCR plus laser video disc applications. We propose this emission system as a means for transmitting HDTV pictures to consumers on the North American continent.Keywords
