Abstract
Interest in the digital coding of broadcast television signals may be said to have started in about 1966. At that time several organisations, including Bell Laboratories in the USA and the BBC, had built suitable high speed analogue-to-digital converters. A BBC Research Department Review of Progress contained the following statements which are of interest in the light of subsequent events:- “It is intended to use the digital equipment to do subjective tests in order to establish the correct number of levels for digital signal processing.” It also said, “Within two years it may well be possible to develop a competitively priced standards converter using digital techniques.” Both highly prophetic statements.

bio
J. Richard Sanders received the M.A. Degree in Physics from Oxford University. He has been a member of the BBC Research Department since 1957. For the majority of this time he has been engaged on research projects concerned with picture origination, but also on other television projects such as the development of the PCM sound-in-syncs system adopted as a standard by the EBU. He was appointed Head of the Image Scanning Section in 1972. Since then a policy has been followed to increase the use of digital techniques in cameras, telecine, coding systems, and noise reduction. This has resulted in the novel use of digital techniques in each of these areas. Mr. Sanders is a Fellow of the British Kinematograph Sound & Television Society. He has twice been a recipient of the Geoffrey Parr Award by the Royal Television Society, and he has received the BKSTS Phil Berkeley Award in 1979.
