Advanced
Television Systems
Committee - (ATSC) - Established in 1983, the ATSC was set up to
develop
voluntary technical standards including interactive television
systems
and digital high definition television (HDTV). The ATSC is
often thought of
as a committee addressing the needs of the North American Market. The
ATSC standard for HDTV was approved in 1995 and adopted (with the
exception of the mandatory video formats section) by the FCC in
1996. It's to replace the analog NTSC format in North America.
The ATSC has set a number of standards concerning digital television. www.atsc.org. & informitv & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATSC
