A three year study? The protocols will be established by then.....

The Posts and Telecommunications Ministry said Monday it will propose to the U.S. and Europe development of common protocols for land-based digital broadcasting, seeking to assure global compatibility. At present, development of such technologies is being done independently.

The ministry hopes use of common protocols for program production and editing will facilitate international distribution of TV programming. It is due to begin a three-year joint study in fiscal 1998 with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, the European Commission, Japan's Association of Radio Industries & Business, and industry groups in the U.S. and Europe. The results of that study are to be used in selecting digital broadcast protocols for Japan in 2000.

Telecom officials intend to ask the Finance Ministry to set aside necessary R&D funds in the fiscal 1998 budget.

Main areas of research will be methods of digital program production and editing, such as the number of scanning lines to be used in high-definition broadcasting, and signal compression, ministry officials said.

The ministry also intends to study digital broadcasting with counterparts in the Asia-Pacific region.
