Abstract :
The D-MAC/packet system has been adopted as the signal format which offers a reception option involving a relatively inexpensive set-top convertor and yet it also provides a number of important options for enhancing the service. The authors briefly describe the D-MAC transmission system and highlight in particular how it can provide an evolution to high-definition television (HDTV) in the future
