Abstract: Producers of news, sports and on-location drama television programs strive to make their shows more interesting and immediate. A technique that is becoming increasingly popular is to use a mobile television camera and microwave links to convey the picture and sound back to the control point. The limited number of microwave channels available for this purpose can be supplemented with optical links over unobstructed paths of a kilometer or less. FCC authorization is not required but the light beams must be safe in the environment.

John Rossi has been active since 1968 in the design and development of TV circuitsin the Special TV Projects Branch at CBS Laboratories, now CBS Technology Center. In 1972, he joined the digital television study program which, under the sponsorship of CBS Inc. and the CBS Television Network, hasbeen involvedin a long-range development of digital techniques in television. This includes digital color decoding and image enhancement, adaptive comb filtering, sub-Nyquist encoding of NTSC color TV signals, digital-to-digital conversion, noise reduction, and special effects generation. Presently, he is a Senior Project Engineer in the Advanced Television Technology Department of the CBS Technology Center.
