Editor's Note

This edition of the NTT Electronics newsletter offers some brief observations from the recent BIRTV2008 broadcasting exhibition held in Beijing, China.

NTT Electronics' HV9100 series, recently selected by Nine Network of Australia, was displayed at BIRTV2008 using three monitors to compare the original, MPEG-2(12Mbps)and H.264(6Mbps)pictures. The demonstration showed the HV9100's high picture quality with low bit rate and low latency.

While SDTV is still popular in China, interest in HDTV has grown significantly since the Olympic games in Beijing last summer. Interest in H.264 codec technology has grown during the same period. H.264 is a new codec technology, and many people at the exhibition came in believing that the picture quality of H.264 was still immature. However, utilizing our long experience in codec development, the HV9100 demonstrated superb picture quality compared to MPEG-2 and impressed many initially skeptical visitors.

As always, we appreciate your comments. They are an invaluable guide for us as we develop our products to meet the requirements of various worldwide markets.
