	Communications News: Television Stereo Sound System Chosen by EIA Submitted to FCC
		Design considerations for the sound system were determined by the noise levels and their spectra, and by various types of interference involved in stereo TV transmission/reception.
		Because the noise levels in all the proposed television transmission systems were potentially high, dbx designed a new process for the system, called "spectral compression." Specifically, the company elected to dynamically vary the preemphasis characteristics in order to match the input signal spectrum to the transmission channel.
		This stereo sound system, along with Zenith's transmission system, was selected by EIA's Multichannel Television Sound Subcommittee following more than four years of exhaustive testing and deliberation that culminated a broadly based industry-wide effort to settle on a single, national system.

	TVTechnology - Audio Notes
		As we have discussed before, it was actually called the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) standard as it defined not only the main stereo channels but also the monaural SAP and PRO channels.
		Due to the impending switch to digital television, it seems unlikely that these numbers will increase much, and with the age of some of the equipment the count may actually decrease.
		In mono it sounds like mono (with any surround channel information canceling); in stereo it sounds like stereo, and with a surround decoder it will reproduce the multichannel audio.

		Therefore, in both the current analog television system and future digital realm, television networks and their affiliates will need to make relatively small investments in equipment to deliver the added narration on a separate audio channel.
		PSIP With the myriad of services digital television will bring, information announcing and identifying those services and their relationships to each other will be crucial if a receiver (or viewer) can ever hope to find a given program or program-related service.
		The Commission's previous interpretation of the relevant section of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which is entitled to considerable defsrcnce, is in accord with this interpretation An analysis of the Commission's jurisdiction must begin by acknowledging the broad jurisdiction conferred upon the Co mmission by Congress in the Communications Act of 1934.

		In-band signal characteristics define the quality of the DTV signal as generated at a television transmitter and fed to the transmission line and antenna for broadcast to the DTV receiver.
		That is, the IF Nyquist slope filtering of the visual carrier, the chroma takeoff bandpass filtering of the color subcarrier, and the aural bandpass filtering of the sound carrier have an effect on the amount of noise seen by the viewer.

		MTS stands for Multichannel Television Sound and is used mainly for bilingual broadcasts, descriptive video services, or for a service channel such as a radio reading service.
		The television as we know it today was not invented at any one time or by one particular person.
		Also, the bandwidth for the TV sound is smaller than that for FM radio, and as a result, TV sound does not have the crispness and depth that FM radio has.

		Television Pioneer Early television developments included some of the first prototype television receivers in the 1930s and experimental TV broadcasts, which began in 1939 and, at the request of the FCC, continued during World War II.
		Among the many pioneering Zenith developments in the early days of television were the industry's first 21-inch, three-gun rectangular color picture tube (1954), the first wireless TV remote control, "Flash-Matic" (1955) and "Space Command," the first practical wireless remote control, which revolutionized TV tuning worldwide for the next quarter century (1956).
		Zenith remained committed to audio engineering related to television; Zenith engineers co-developed the multichannel television sound (MTS) transmission system adopted by the industry for stereo TV broadcasts (1984), and received an Emmy for pioneering work on development of MTS stereo TV (1986).

	Remembering the World Trade Center
		Many who have worked in television in New York have spent time at the Trade Center and your writer is one of those, having been involved in early experimentation with –and implementation of – the BTSC TV multichannel sound system at the flagship station of another network (hint: feathers).
		Its incidental carrier phase modulation (ICPM) specification – a parameter that was little known or regarded before the TV multichannel sound era dawned – was too high.
		Commercial BTSC encoders were not available until early 1985 – the homemade system was used to generate all the transmitted audio signals of a major television station in the country's biggest market for a period of about one year.

	Can NTSC data insertion hurt BTSC services?
		All television stations in the U.S. that broadcast in the MTS mode utilize the BTSC system.
		MSI reminded the commision that the goal of this process is to prevent excessive noise and to eliminate the effects of interfering signals, such as those created by the aural portion of the Dotcast dNTSC system by treating the dNTSC-generated interfering signals as simply additional noise.
		MSI said that it is essential that the commission and its television licensees know the extent to which Dotcast’s dNTSC system will adversely affect PRO channel operations.

		The ultimate TV sound to be found is 5.1 Dolby Digital, which happens to be the format used in DVD.
		However, big sound can also be overwhelming (and expensive), so do not overlook the quality of sound that can be had from a simple two-speaker system built into a TV--especially where simulated surround sound is employed.
		Because differences between major-brand televisions are slight, manufacturers have added all sorts of special features to their sets in an attempt to differentiate them.

	Audio for Television — The Big Picture
		After giving many presentations and listening to broadcasters' feedback, we also learned that audio is a generally misunderstood area of both digital and analog television – and as such, has developed a reputation of being overly difficult.
		In NTSC television, the Broadcast Television Systems Committee (BTSC) developed the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) standard that defines how the stereo, Secondary Audio Program (SAP) and PRO channels are carried.
		The standards explain only what happens between the input terminals of the encoder and the output terminals of the decoder – and this is fine as it would be outside their scope to go much further.
