ATSC
VIDEO STANDARD: ATSC is the current digital television standard which is designed to replace NTSC in the United States for over the air transmission. ATSC provides for high definition including the 16:9 wide screen format up to 1920x1080 pixels as well as high definition sound using the Dolby surround sound Digital AC-3 format.
The Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) sets standards for digital television transmission over terrestrial, cable, and satellite networks. ATSC replaced much of the analog NTSC television system in the United States on June 12, 2009, and on August 31, 2011 in Canada. The ATSC system supports both forms of scanning (progressive or interlaced.)
