Hyundai, KBS Develop Digital HDTV System December 8, 1997 (SEOUL) -- Korea Broadcasting System (KBS) and Hyundai Electronics Industries Co., Ltd. jointly developed Korea's first digital high definition television (HDTV) system, a Hyundai spokesman said. Digital broadcasting, scheduled from the year 2000 in Korea, will have high audio and video quality as well as multichannel and other features. Hyundai and KBS spent two years to develop the digital TV codec, which boasts improved resolution with 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, five times more than conventional satellite TV systems. In addition, its transmissible data band ranges from 18Mbps to 40Mbps, capable of receiving signals from both 34Mbps satellite broadcasts and 19.3Mbps terrestrial digital broadcasts. The HDTV also is equipped with an application specific integrated circuit chip developed by KBS that helps transmit high-speed audio and video signals, the spokesman said.
