Aside from providing better picture and sound quality, the switchover to digital broadcasting offers clear advantages for both consumers and operators.

Digital broadcasting provides improved picture quality, better sound, better portable and mobile reception, more TV and radio channels and enhanced information services.

The quality of the images is the same as traditional medical imaging but more environmentally friendly.

HDTV will offer millions of European viewers a picture quality comparable to that of the cinema, on an improved screen with a wide 16:9 format, with sound quality equivalent to that of compact discs.

NB From the technological and industrial point of view, the audiovisual sector is facing three major transformations : - the advent in 1987 of direct broadcasting by satellite of TV programmes; - the gradual removal of existing barriers between the audiovisual sector; data-processing and telecommunications, leading inevitably to the increasing convergence of networks, terminals and technologies; - the development, at the fastest possible pace, of high- definition TV offering an image quality worthy of the highest cinematographic standards (35 mm film).
