Teletect Field Tests

Teletext is a technology that has "arrived",, and is capable of providing the U.S. broadcast television audience with a wide variety of new services. CBS has therefore proposed a major test program to help determine appropriate technical standards. After obtaining a preliminary and informal opinion from the FCC that a request to conduct an over-the-air test of teletext systems would probably receive favorable action, CBS embarked on a program to test television System M (525-line, 60-field) versions of the British CEEFAX/ORACLE system, and the French ANTIOPE system. The proposed tests would be technical in nature and would not, for the present, consider the types of services that might be provided by a U.S. teletext system.
