HDTV - High Definition Television

Brilliant images in HD

 

HDTV stands for "High Definition Television". This term includes a tv-standard, the 16:9-movie format, with an unknown color brightness, depth- and sound quality.

 

What makes HDTV so special, is the high resolution of the TV images. Instead of the usual 768 x 576 pixels, HDTV exists of 1920 x 1080 pixels and offers 5 times more image information as an image in conventional tv. This assures an unknown brightness en sharpness of the image and shows unique details. Next to that the color resolution of HDTV is considerably higher then the one from standard tv (SDTV).

 

With Dolby Digital you experience a complete new tv experience. With a HDTV digital receiver you have a new world standard in house, which exceeds the current conventional tv images by far.
