Abstract

The author proposes a method for terrestrial broadcast and cable transmission of high-definition television with high frame rate in the basic NTSC format using a single 6-MHz channel. The transmitted signal is appropriate for display on present NTSC receivers and generates a wide-screen display on new high-definition receivers with 1500 pixels horizontally on each of 966 lines in a 16:9 or 5:3 aspect ratio format. The author describes a method for motion compensation with receiver verification of motion vector data for the high-resolution monochrome portion of the signal, a method for video data by compression and quadrature modulation of the visual RF carrier. The overall hardware system has not yet been produced as hardware, but some of its components have been built in either hardware or software
