Abstract: In the past, producers and broadcasters of television programs had few choices in regard to the quality of the image that was to be displayed on the viewer's screen. The choice of tape or film made little difference, as they were constrained by the 525-line NTSC standard, with its well-known impairments, and the images were displayed on a low-resolution kinescope at the transmitted scan standard. Introduction of cable systems extended the broadcaster's reach, and later opened up new markets for programs but did not change the situation. The more recent use of satellites for network distribution adds new dimensions of coverage and immediacy, but with only small changes to the image quality. The arrival of ¾-in. ENG equipment further degraded image quality.
