Abstract: In television terms systems engineering embraces the design and implementation of the electronics system which supports the production processes. However, in order to discuss systems engineering in a meaningful manner in a field which is as yet virtually undefined, it is first necessary to outline in general terms an operational specification for the electronic system and also define the features of the digital techniques to be used in designing the system. It is desirable that the operational specification should be sufficiently extensive to enable any shortcomings in the proposed digital parameters to be fully explored.

bio
Michael Tooms began his career with EMI in 1959. He worked with Thames Television as a systems design engineer; with the IBA as Senior Quality Control Engineer (Jointly responsible for the establishment and maintenance of technical codes of practice); with Rediffusion Television in Hong Kong as Controller of Engineering and Production Services, responsible for the establishment of color in the studios and a dual service transmitter network. In 1977 he formed his own consultancy company, Protel Broadcast Services Limited. In addition to normal consultancy activities he is concerned with system problems associated with the all digital studio center.
