Corporations
spend great sums of money to perfect their images
for television. They know that video is an experiential
medium. The better the experience, the more the
viewer will be inclined to remember what they
see. This is why you see corporations spending
millions of dollars on television advertising.
They know it's worth a lot to show memoriable
quality images.
With
the advent of High Defenition Television (HDTV),
the television experience is even more powerful
and realistic than ever before. HDTV pictures
are five times sharper than regular TV. Just take
a look at the picture on the right. The top NTSC
strip shows what you see when you watch a standard
tv signal on VHS. The next strip at 480 lines
is digital television (typically DVD's). Finally
the last strip is 1080 lines of resolution of
HDTV.
You can really see and almost feel the dramatic
differences!
According
to the Yankee Group, HDTV monitor sales is expected
to rise to 20 million by 2008 and half of U.S.
consumers intend to buy an HDTV as their next
tv purchase. By the fall of 2005 Sony is expected
to introduce a blue laser HDTV-DVD player. This
would enable corporate clients to start taking
advantage of HDTV for in-house marketing and educational
uses.
