Abstract
The signals in use today for the transmission of broadcast TV services are direct descendents of the original monochrome transmissions of the 1940s. The method adopted for the addition of colour (namely the colour subcarrier) was dictated by the requirement to be compatible with the early monochrome receivers, and by the technology then available. Since that time, there have been significant advances in technology, due in particular to the advent of large scale integration of electronic components. Moreover, the economic environment in which television services must operate has been transformed through the introduction of Cable TV, VCRs, video games, home computers, etc. which compete for the screen. (It is forseeable that the home TV receiver may degenerate into a monitor, fed by a series of stand-alone input devices, each providing a separate service).

bio
Keith Lucas, (B.Sc. MSc. PhD) — Dr. Lucas joined the Independent Broadcasting Authority (U.K.) in 1974 and was initially involved in the development of the U.K. Teletext System. Later, as Head of Video, he was responsible for teams of engineers carrying out research and development of advanced television equipments. These included digital VTRs, mixers, chroma-key units, fibre-optic transmission systems, and the first all-digital satellite TV codec operated through the European OTS satellite. He has made numerous publications in all of these fields, and served on the digital television standards committee of the EBU. In 1981, Dr. Lucas was responsible for the development of the MAC concept, and now leads the engineering team in the Digital Video Systems Division of Scientific Atlanta.
