- Which HDTV standard is this- Japanese version? I would imagine that is
- designed to augment an NTSC signal, so how does it relate to PAL? While I
- can see HDTV
- worlwide as having the same aspect ratio and number of lines, is there a
- worldwide standard for frame rate? And will the only difference in US
- digital HDTV be in the brodcast mechanism, not in the actual frames.
