Before anyone jumps all over the US delegation to CCIR, they ought to be sure they understand all aspects of this issue. For example, Poynton claims the delegation rejected the recommendations of the ATSC on this issue. In previous years, the ATSC position has been dominated by the television networks and video producers. They don't care very much how a standard affects the US computer or consumer electronics industry-- simply having any standard helps them to export video productions. The US is in the midst of a major study led by the FCC on appropriate standards for HDTV. Within the next year, at least half a dozen proposed systems will undergo extensive comparative testing. It makes perfect sense for the US to delay taking a position while this process is underway. Marvin Sirbu Carnegie Mellon University
