Digital television was developed over many years and was not created by a single person or company. Digital signal processing, storage and transmission are techniques that have been developing from the time of the first digital electronic computers, around six decades ago. One of the earliest widespread applications of digital video was developed by Quantel, a broadcast television manufacturer who developed the "Paintbox". It used digital signal processing to manipulate images and lead the way in digital video effects. Other companies were working on similar systems and those early products lead to the DVE, (Digital Video Effects) which are used in most television productions today. The first "digital" televisions were used in studios as monitors for broadcast applications. Although the signal used are different to those we see in a domestic television, the principle of receiving and decoding digital data for display on a screen has been established for many years. It was in the early 1990s that digital television made an appearance in the domestic market. Developments to broadcasting mean that many countries are almost exclusively using digital broadcasting for television.
