| In a bid to highlight the advantages of high definition
(HD) cable programming to the trade, Scientific-Atlanta has created
a new online HD video demonstration for cable operators to use on
their own websites.
The informative presentation uses live video and conversational
dialogue in layman's terms to walk consumers through a simple HDTV
checklist to help them gain confidence for making the initial decisions
about HDTV including:
Understanding the difference between a digital TV and an HDTV,
making the choice between widescreen and standard format, important
HD inputs on your TV, resolution and scan rates - an explanation
of 720p and 1080i, how to determine if your TV is HD-ready or HD-capable,
using "stretch and zoom" to eliminate black bars on the
TV screen, current availability of HD programming; sports, nature,
movies, travel and prime time favorites and how combining HD and
DVR (Digital Video Recorder) expands the viewing experience
The demonstration can be viewed at www.ExploreHD.com.
