  2. HDTV • "This is a remarkable achievement by Working Party 11A. It represents the culmination of over fifteen years of discussion on high definition television production standards. This agreement shows the unique effectiveness of the ITU-R as a worldwide forum for standards in broadcasting." • MrKrivocheev (1997)

  3. HDTV History July 1972 the historic Contribution of Japan to initiate the studies on HDTV and France suggested to launch studies on digital TV Based on the analysis of the chaos existing in the multistandard analog color television, a new methodology was defined to develop the international TV and HDTV standards. The former CCIR Study Group 11 began to focus its activities on High-Definition Television recommending some of the characteristics of the first analogue systems, which, incidentally, produced base-band signals which could not fit in any of the broadcasting bands available at that time.

  4. HDTV History, Cont. The first study program on the digital compression of TV signals was adopted. That was an important milestone in the history of HDTV. It marked the start of international coordination of work on the TV signal coding for the use of conventional bandwidths. It also played a decisive role in the development of digital broadcasting systems, cable TV, as well as IPTV, and continues to be fundamental to build the digital TV. The major achievement of ITU-R in this respect was the development of the international strategy of the digital HDTV, while retaining the existing terrestrial and satellite channels (the "6-7-8" concept).

  5. Finally harmonized HDTV?NOT REALLY • 1990 : Recommendation ITU-R 790 offered two specifications with equal weight and included a note of reservation by the Unite States. • The limited standardization of analog HDTV in the 1990s did not lead to global HDTV adoption as technical and economic constraints at the time did not permit HDTV to use bandwidths greater than normal television.

  6. HDTV Working! HDTV was first demonstrated in Europe, in 1982 at the General Assembly of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) in Killarney, Ireland. Digital HDTV systems demonstrated in 1991-1992 in Alexandria (USA), by the HD-DIVINE consortium and other organizations in Europe showed that narrow-band transmission of digital HDTV and digital multiprogram TV in 6, 7 and 8 MHz channels (conception 6-7-8) is not a fantasy but a reality (Recommendation ITU-R BT.798). In accordance with Recommendations ITU-R ВТ.798 and ВТ.1206 the existing systems SDTV and HDTV of digital broadcasting could be developed.

  7. Finally harmonized HDTV?Yes, Indeed 1997: Adoption of a new version of ITU-R 709 SG 11 for HDTV programme production  a new chapter in the worldwide harmonization of HDTV.

  8. HDTV Harmonization 1998: after the introduction of digital techniques (Recommendation ITU–R BT.601, which became the building block of digital television systems) and over twenty years of continuous studies: unanimous approval of Recommendation ITU-R BT.709 in its current version. It represents what is recognized today as an outstanding achievement of the ITU: the specifications for a single worldwide standard for HDTV production and program exchange : the Common Image Format (CIF).

  9. HD-CIF The format is characterized by using a single matrix of samples (1080 by 1920), irrespective of the field and frame rate used.(can be used at 50 Hz or 60 Hz filed rate) This matrix thus becomes a unique format for image capture for high-definition pictures for any application

  10. The road to worldwide use of a unique type of equipment for HDTV programme production was opened.

  11. DTT era… After a great work done in specifying and adjusting systems’ parameters for digital terrestrial TV and achieving a consensus with an active participation of WG 11A, the draft ITU-R Recommendation BT.1306 “Error-correction, data framing, modulation and emission methods for digital terrestrial television broadcasting” was prepared in February 2000.

  12. RRC for Region 1 The RRC04 and RRC-06 (digital terrestrial broadcasting) : The use of the Digital Plan provided capabilities to the parallel introduction of the multiprogram SDTV and HDTV which is extremely important today in the new environment.

  13. 200725 years later

  14. Conclusions The approval of Recommendation ITU-R BT.709 triggered a high level of activity on the part of manufacturers and broadcasters to develop the tools and the know-how to implement extensive HDTV program production. Since then Recommendation ITU-R BT.709 has remained unchanged, thus allowing manufacturers to produce equipment at an ever-lower cost. Such equipment today costs even less than any other comparable equipment for television systems of inferior quality, thus demonstrating the benefits offered by international broadcasting standards, and the success of the ITU in its role as an international standard-setting body. The ITU-R work in the field of HDTV represents a truly “global approach” with the necessary harmonization, which provided the creation of the worldwide foundation for HDTV introduction and development.

  15. UHDTV • “UHDTV is an earth-shaking development in the world of television,” • “Watching UHDTV in the near future will be a breath taking experience, and I look forward to it.” • ITU Secretary-General Dr HamadounTouré

  16. UHDTV- continuation of HDTV? The ITU-R Recommendation (BT 2020-2012: Parameter values for ultra-high definition television systems for production and international programme exchange) lays out the quality standards for UHDTV in two steps. The advances made with each of these quality steps are roughly similar to the step from the old ‘standard definition television’ to ‘high definition television (HDTV)’. HDTV pictures today have the equivalent of between 1-2 megapixels. The first level of UHDTV picture levels has the equivalent of about 8 megapixels (3 840 x 2 160 image system), and the next level comes with the equivalent of about 32 megapixels (7 680 x 4 320 image system).   As a shorthand way of describing them, they are sometimes called the ‘4K’ and ‘8K’ UHDTV systems.

  17. Further work UHDTV A range of different resolutions proposals have been discussed but ITU hopes to make 4K and 8K exact multiples of today’s Full HD standard to avoid unnecessary scaling. The proposed standards for the new 4K and 8K formats include support for a larger color gamut as well as support for 120 frames per second broadcast – far higher than today’s TV standards. ITU has played the ball and now it is up to the TV manufacturers to make a move. The proposed standards have not been finalized but this is an important first step. 4K and 8K is also often referred to as UHDTV (Ultra High Definition Television).

  18. Good luck the HDTV in Europe. Good luck the HDTV all over the world. Remarks by Prof. Mark Krivocheev, Honorary Chairman of ITU-R Study Group 6 and Former Chairman of ITU-R (CCIR) SG 11 • Good luck the UHDTV, 3DTV, DTV in Europe and all over the world.
