Topic:
     The Importance of Quality Optics in HDTV
HDTV is fast becoming a significant reality in US television. The high definition viewing experience is determined in large part by the two analog extremities of the total HDTV system - the HD lens and the HD display. Lens optics is an old science and today's HD lens performance is a legacy of long refinement. The increased image quality provided by HDTV places a significant demand on optic quality.
Larry Thorpe will discuss quality HD optics by examining what is now expected of lens performance in regards providing a quality image while minimizing optical distortions and aberrations. Gordon Tubbs will discuss the design criteria applied to a variety of HD lenses for a range of applications.
