Abstract
Television engineering research in the BBC is intended to ensure that the future engineering needs of the BBC can be met economically and effectively. To that end new broadcasting systems and techniques are innovated and assessed. It is important to strike a balance in this work between current and future requirements, mainly through internal projects, but partly in cooperation with other enterprises. Major examples of relevant work include High Definition Television in conjunction with Digitally Assisted Television, bandwidth compression, subscription systems, digital techniques for studios and transmission, and digital stereophony for television.

bio
Bruce Moffat graduated in engineering science from Oxford University in 1959. He remained at Oxford to carry out research in microwave electronics, for which he received a D.Phil. degree. He joined the BBC in 1962 and worked in the Acoustics Section of the Research Dept., where he was chiefly concerned with the application of computer techniques to studio acoustics. In 1966, he transferred to the Television Section, Research Dept. and investigated the problem of head-clogging in videotape recorders and possibilities for digital video recording. After two years as R & D Manager with Ilford Zonal, a magnetic recording media manufacturer, he returned to the BBC in 1970, in the Baseband Systems Section in the Electronics Group, Research Dept., and was engaged in the development of the PCM system now used for the distribution of high-quality sound signals; he became section head in 1971. In 1976 he was appointed head of storage and recording section in Studio Group, and was appointed head of studio group in 1981. In 1984 he became Head of Research Department. He has served on several CCIR, CCITT, and EBU Committees, and is currently Chairman of CCIR United Kingdom Working Group 11H concerned with High Definition Television.
