Abstract: Television is a technology in its youth — only 50 years have passed since the introduction of a regular broadcast service by the BBC. Today, many improvements in broadcast television services are technically possible, and the implementation of these improvements is essential if broadcasters are to remain competitive. The first step toward the future is to begin the orderly changeover of production facilities to allow the production of programs of a higher technical quality. To a large degree, this changeover has begun. No modern television plant today uses strictly analog composite signals for its operations. Digital signals and component formats are increasingly being used to provide new capabilities and improved performance. As improvements in production systems continue to be implemented — including the use of high-definition television — superior delivery systems must also be developed. This article examines the current trends in improved production systems and their implications for the future, and discusses the need to provide higher technical quality throughout the various delivery channels.
