Abstract
In the days of the simpler life, feature films were produced for theatrical release, and television programs were produced for broadcast to the home. Today, virtually all productions, whether produced in video or on film, address the revenue from worldwide distribution through multiple media. These include theatrical films, made-for-TV movies, drama series, sitcoms, soaps, game shows, sports, and even news. The video distribution media, especially, continue to proliferate as we have seen with cable, MDS, prerecorded tape and disc, SMATV and DBS. The importance of the worldwide market has placed high priority on the need for a single worldwide high definition electronic production (HDEP) standard<sup>1–4</sup> to augment the current high definition standard, which is 35 mm film at 24 frames per second.

bio
Kerns H. Powers received his BS and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas in 1951 and his ScD degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1956. He joined RCA Laboratories as a Member of the Technical Staff in 1951 to work with Ray Kell on dot sequential color television and was a member of that group during the development that became the NTSC color system. He is currently Staff Vice President, Government Systems and Communications Research, in charge of advanced systems research in the areas of television broadcasting, data transmission, and satellite communications, and is responsible for microwave technology development for commercial and government applications. Dr. Powers is a Fellow of IEEE and of SMPTE, is a member of Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, and Sigma Xi. He is currently Chairman of the SMPTE Committee on New Technology. Dr. Powers is the author of several papers in communications and television and holds nine issued patents.
