Big Picture: HDTV and High-Resolution Systems

摘要

Discussions on the linkages between HDTV technology and future developments in high-resolution computer technologies and telecommunications are presented. HDTV drives a number of important electronic technologies--including high-performance displays, digital signal processors, and very fast optical and magnetic storage devices--that the United States will rely on to be competitive and technologically secure in the future. U.S. manufacturing currently is lagging behind the Japanese and other foreign competitors in many of these areas. Production of these systems will also force dramatic improvements in automated manufacturing technology. Participation in these markets could assist U.S. firms in regaining competitiveness.
