Overview of the official HDTV logos
Dear reader!
H
igh-definition
television
(HDTV) is a
leading part
of the digital TV
age. This 21st century entertainment
and educational
technology is the
quality standard for
Mark MacGann, Director
a new generation
General of the European
of devices with unInformation, Communicaprecedented image
tions and Consumer Electronics Technology Industry and sound quality.
Association (EICTA)
It is a revolutionary
increase in quality
for digital TV transmission and reception: the potential for Europe is enormous, so the stakes are high.
The switchover from analogue to digital
requires careful coordination among
key stakeholders in order to provide
consumers with the anticipated benefits. Without a high-definition feed,
for example, an HD-ready television
will fail to deliver on viewer expecta-
tions. The right efforts upstream - from
broadcasters, programme makers, and
equipment manufacturers - will result
in satisfaction downstream. The success of the HDTV rollout in Europe will
be measured in terms of consumer
satisfaction.
Information is key for end users, and
our industry has tried to educate the
public via a range of different channels
to ensure that people understand the
full benefits of high definition. One
example is the creation of a unique set
of logos (HD Ready, HD Ready 1 080p,
HDTV, HDTV 1 080p) that provide consumers with a guarantee that displays
from different manufacturers are future
proof and fully compliant with commonly agreed technical standards.
Without doubt, HD television represents
a major technical milestone. It has
opened the door to new developments
that are being explored by the digital
technology industry, and generated new
expectations among consumers. Our
sector will continue to innovate and
collaborate with other stakeholders,
seizing the opportunities offered by this
new standard and shaping the world
by design. I am a firm believer in the
future of HD.
Sincerely,
Mark MacGann
To ensure high transparency and confidence among retailers and consumers, EICTA provides special logos to manufacturers of HDTV equipment. Since its inception in 2005, the European Information Communication and Consumer
Electronics Technology Industry Association has conceived 4 logos:

HDTV – Television of the future
HDTV market status and future prospects
Dear Mr. Fritz, HDTV is available in many European countries, but market penetration is very
fragmented. Why?
The main European HDTV markets are
the UK, France and Spain. Other markets showing consistent growth include Italy, Poland, Austria, Switzerland,
the Netherlands and the Scandinavian
countries. In Germany, high-definition
programming is limited but set to grow
with the launch of services from ZDF,
ARD and leading private broadcasters.
Finally, HDTV has launched in the Czech
Republic and Slovakia, and momentum
is growing steadily in other central and
eastern European markets. There are
several reasons for this uneven growth:
• Launching an HD service requires significant investment from broadcasters.
Pay-TV services tend to be first to launch
because funding such an investment is
easier than in free-to-air markets.
• There are millions of HD-ready TVs
in Europe, but relatively few HD settop boxes: in Germany, for example,
only 170 000 HD receivers were sold in
2007. In general, broadcasters will only
offer high-definition content when they’re
convinced that the number of homes cawww.ses-astra.com
System Integration for a more reliable future
pable of watching it is sufficiently large.
• Broadcast satellites offer very attractive high-definition programming. In
Europe, for example, ASTRA leads the
field with nearly 70 channels. Other
infrastructures deliver significantly fewer
channels, which has led to HDTV being
more successful in traditional satellite
TV markets.
What do you think is needed to make HDTV
more successful?
I believe the first priority is closer cooperation between all players in the HDTV
market, so that there is more programming on offer, and a much larger pool of
HD receivers. Consumers are already
aware that HD will replace conventional
or standard-definition TV, so I’d like to
see our market partners selling more
HD receivers and TVs with integrated
HD receivers, rather than digital receivers, which may not be entirely future
proof. High-definition receivers have a
longer lifespan because they can receive conventional and HD programming. I
would also encourage broadcasters to
acknowledge that high definition is here
to stay. ASTRA consumer surveys show
Markus Fritz, Vice President & General Manager,
Marketing, SES ASTRA
that viewers are eager for more content:
HD channels report higher subscription
rates, longer viewing times and greater
channel loyalty. From our side, I can
guarantee that ASTRA will continue to
support every HDTV channel broadcasting via our satellites.
Thank you for this interview.
Dear Mr. Hecker, recently there has been
a notable trend towards televisions with
integrated HDTV receivers (IDTVs), which
makes set-top boxes unnecessary. What are
the advantages of this integration?
Integration gives consumers a wide
range of advantages including simplicity – no need for a set-top box with all
its cables – ease of use, and a single
unified remote control. Also, in times
of high-energy costs consumers want
equipment that saves power: getting
rid of external components reduces
household energy consumption. In addition, integrated HDTV receivers can
usually process more than one signal
path: this is not a feature found on
external receivers at the moment. Finally, in countries such as Germany
where HD broadcasts are still limited,
consumers who buy IDTVs are making
a future-proof purchase.
What changes need to be made so that the
industry can increase the availability of such
products?
Probably the best stimulus to increasing the availability and range of
integrated HDTV receivers is a rapid ex-
pansion in the availability of high-definition programming. The HD “roadmap”
for public channels is a clear signal to
the industry and the consumer, and
shows that HD will establish itself as
the television standard of the future.
We also need common, network-independent technical standards so that
the industry doesn’t waste time, effort
and money on manufacturing equipment with different and competing
technical standards or formats. It gives
the trade the confidence to get behind
the marketing of a new technology,
and encourages consumers to invest
more readily because they don’t have
to wait for the outcome of a format or
standards war.
Proprietary and competing standards
serve only to complicate and slow
down the development of markets
because they confuse consumers and
delay their purchasing decisions.
Dr. Rainer Hecker, chairman of the corporation for entertainment and communication electronics – Gesellschaft
für Unterhaltungs- und Kommunikationselektronik (GfU)
