ATSC is the group that helped to develop the new digital television standard for the United States and other countries. It is intended to replace the earlier analog-type television system standard and produce wide screen 16:9 images up to 1920×1080 pixels in size-more than six times the display resolution of the analog standard. However, a host of different image sizes are supported, so up to six standard-definition "virtual channels" can be carried in a single broadcast. ATSC also boasts "theater quality" audio because it uses the Dolby Digital (AC-3) format to provide "5.1" surround sound. Numerous auxiliary data services can also be provided. The ATSC system supports a host of different display resolutions and frame rates.The formats below list fthe supported rame/field rates and lines of resolution: • Standard Definition television (SDTV): 480i60, 480p24, 480p30, 576i50, 576p25 • Enhanced-definition Television (EDTV): 480p60, 576p50 • High-definition television (HDTV): 720i50, 720i60, 720p24, 720p25, 720p30, 720p50, 720p60, 1080i50, 1080i60, 1080p24, 1080p25, 1080p30. 28 VGX-XL2A Digital Living System
