The idea of High Definition TVs began in the middle 1970s. Although today it seems like a recent innovative development, it has been in the works for over 30 years.
How high definition TVs began
The idea began in Japan as an effort to sell more TVs and improve its image quality. The very first HDTV system was MUSE, which used filtering to lessen bandwidth utilization and the original source signal. Japan’s public network, NHK was invited by the National Association of Broadcasters in the US to present MUSE to the Federal Communications Commission. Unfortunately, some groups did not want HDTV to be introduced to the US.
