SAN DIEGO, Calif., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- General Instrument Corporation
(NYSE: GIC) announced today that it has developed an MPEG-2 ATSC encoding
system for the delivery of digital television (DTV) by broadcasters around the
world. ATSC is a standard of the Advanced Television Systems Committee.
The system, developed by General Instrument's San Diego-based Satellite
Data Networks business unit, will compress and multiplex both standard
definition TV (SDTV) and high definition (HDTV) signals in a single, ATSC-
compliant, integrated encoding and transmission system for DTV applications in
terrestrial broadcast, satellite, microwave, and fiber network transmission.
The announcement follows the recent news that GI and Sony Electronics,
Inc. plan a strategic alliance to jointly develop technologies for digital
cable TV devices and high-definition TV products.
