Abstract: In 1990 a decision will be made regarding a worldwide High Definition Television standard. The ITV Association together with other European organisations and companies are working towards a new standard which is compatible with those existing in Europe. This paper reviews the effort made by the ITV Association in both the engineering and programme production fields, and outlines its goals for future participation in the development of an acceptable European HDTV standard.

bio
Norman Green joined EMI Research Laboratory in 1956 as a research student and was concerned with research into mirowave links, character recognition and slow scan television for space research and radar projects. In 1962 he moved to the Central Research Department of the Rank organization working on highspeed computer printers and fiber optic communications using lasers. Norman joined ABC Television in 1965 working on the development of color television and subsequently the use of digital techniques in television studios. It was while studying these techniques that he designed and built the first computerized presentation and master control switcher in Europe. In 1973 he joined ITCA, now the ITV Association, where as Head of Engineering Services he is responsible for the management of the ITV studio technical development program. In this position he has been responsible for the development of the Oracle teletext system, the first digital video television studio in the U.K. and the first mobile HDTV studio facility in Europe working to the 150/50 standard.

bio
Derek Allsop graduated in 1982 from University College, Cardiff, with a B.Sc. (Hons.) degree in electrical and electronic engineering, and immediately joined the Advanced Developments Department at Sony Broadcast. Here he became involved with the development of the digital VTR and the early design of a HDVS systems. In 1984 he took an eighteen month break from broadcasting and joined a simulation company, where he gained microprocessor design experience, joining the ITV Association Technical Development Laboratory at Thames Television, London, in 1985. Here he has been involved in the setting up of the first UK digital television studio facility, with the development of a digital PAL decoder. He has contributed to the development of a MAC system for ENG use (the ITV Association's ACLE system) and is currently working on the digital signal processing of high-definition television signals.

Mike Elgey attended Imperial College, London, between 1973 and 1976 where he gained a B.Sc. in electrical engineering. Following college he spent seven years working for the Rank organization in a division specializing in lighting control equipment for theater and TV studios. This was followed by a two-year period with a general design house working on high-speed A to D systems and microprocessor programming. In 1985 he joined the ITV Association Technical Development Laboratory at Thames Television, London, where he has been involved in the creation of the first U.K. digital studio, colorimetry, and lately work on high-definition television.
