Summary :

The R & D of EDTV (Extended Definition TV, or Enhance D TV) in Japan is reviewed. The EDTV is a television system with higher quality video and audio, and at the same time remains compatible with existing standards. First, IDTV (Improve D TV) is reviewed; it achieves better picture quality by sophisticated signal processing at TV receivers within existing standards. The main issue is the reduction of deficiencies caused by the current standards. Then, the EDTV is reviewed. This concept achieves much better picture quality by sending more information through the more efficient utilization of the transmission channel. Since originally proposed, it has been studied nation-wide in Japan under the direction of MPT (Ministry of Post and Telecommunications) with two stages: EDTV- and EDTV-. EDTV- broadcasting began in 1989, under the nickname "Clear-Vision", with IDTV techniques as the key technology for receivers. Proposed ideas and the historical process are reviewed. EDTV- is now under study for higher-resolution and wide-aspect TV with digital audio. The proposed techniques and related technical issues are summarized.
