The difference between PAL and HDTV
High-resolution TV is characterised by a signi fi cantly higher number of picture lines on the TV set.
The usual European standard PAL achieves a resolution of 576 lines vertically and 720 lines
horizontally. High-resolution TV provides an impressive resolution, up to
fi ve times higher than the usual
PAL standard TV, and hence delivering more detail sharpness and responsiveness.
A HDTV picture can contain up to
fi ve times as many picture points, that is, approximately 2 million pixels
compared to a conventional PAL picture with only approximately 400,000 pixels.
Worldwide there are currently two HDTV standards, based on the two formats 1080i and 720p. The two
standards differ in the number of picture lines and in the transmission procedure. For the human eye,
the difference between the two HDTV standards is hardly perceptible, however; in comparison to the
PAL system, moving pictures look much more dynamic. Transmission technology and reception equipment
will be able to handle both standards in the future.
