Digital BS Standard to Include 720P Scanning January 7, 1998 (TOKYO) -- A new technical standard for digital broadcast satellite transmissions slated to start in 2000 will include 720P, a progressive scanning method with 720 scanning lines, according to industry experts. Japan's Telecommunications Technology Council, an advisory group to the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications, previously announced an interim digital satellite broadcasting standard adopting 1080I, which has 1,080 scanning lines and interlaced scanning, 480P with progressive scanning and 480I. It said it would continue deliberations on 720P. An ad hoc committee of the Telecommunications Technology Council consisting of members from the broadcasting and personal computer industries, has pushed forward the deliberations. According to industry experts, the 720P method will be adopted in the new standard on condition that it is proven viable in pilot tests. The broadcasting industry has opposed adoption of 720P and the personal computer industry has supported it. The broadcasting said there has been a lack of equipment compatible with the 720P system, and unlike 1080I and others that already have been accepted as a standard, no pilot test has been implemented for the 720P yet.
