No they are different formats.
High Definition (HD) is a form of digital television. High Definition is the highest quality of digital television available with the highest resolution, which results in superior picture quality. Listed below are some commonly found digital television resolutions. High Definition is also broadcast in widescreen format, otherwise known as 16:9 aspect ratio. Standard definition is broadcast in 4:3, which is a similar format to analog. Here are some commonly found digital resolutions: • 640x480 pixels (Standard Definition) • 1280x720 pixels (High Definition) • 1920x1080 pixels (High Definition - Often referred to as Full HD or True HD because this is the highest resolution available.)
Matthieu Joosten has written: 'High and digital?' 'High definition television'
The most advanced form of digital television is an HDTV. This type of television offers a high definition picture with spectacular resolution.
HD cameras have the ability to offer full compatibility with high definition television systems and display clearer photos and videos. HD stands for High Definition.
I'll address the first of these two questions: Post-transition all US over-the-air broadcasts are digital. That refers to the modulation technique used to place a signal on a carrier wave. High Definition refers to the picture resolution, as does Standard Definition. A High Definition broadcast will always be digital, but a digital broadcast will not always be High Definition. A DVD will deliver a digital picture in SD. A Blu-Ray DVD delivers a digital picture in HD. The same concept applies to broadcasters. The FCC requires digital broadcasts, but does not require that they be HD. The cable provider I use does not charge for HD channels.
High Definition Television or HDTV was originally coined in 1936. The class of television sets then were considered high-definition when comparing them to earlier versions. Over the years, many television sets have been called High Definition, but the current idea of digital HDTV began field testing in 1994.
Well in 2009 tv will not go to all high definition it will switch from analog to digital meaning that if you are not assigned to a cable company or satellite company you will not be able to watch tv. unless you either join a cable provider or satellite provider or get a digital box. High definition in it self is something totally different than whats going on in february.
Very probably yes. If your new TV is High Definition, you will need to get a new HD cable box from Comcast, for which the fee is a little higher.
Yes, this model will need a converter box to function after the digital conversion. I have the same television and called SONY to find out. The model has an analog tuner, therfore it requires a digital to analog converter box. This model is capable of high definition video quality because it has a picture resolution of 1080i. I am buying the Samsung DTB-H260F Digital Receiver for a converter box because it will provide the television with a high definition analog signal through the component video outputs. If you buy a lesser converter box it will only provide a 420i signal to the television even if an over the air high definition signal is available.
Sky Freeview is a digital and broadcast media provider offering 50 digital television channels and 24 radio stations to consumers. Freeview also offers high definition digital video recording.
No, it is an analog tv and requires a digital converter box to receive a digital signal off the air. No problem if you have satellite or cable service. Either way, the image will not be HD.
Westinghouse Digital LLC is the maker and manufacturer of Westinghouse TVs. They were the first manufacturer of ultra high definition televisions which are also known ad 4D TVs.
