AB - This paper introduces the HD‐SAT project, describes its main characteristics as well as the results of the system demonstration which was performed jointly with the dTTb project, (digital terrestrial television broadcasting) during the Montreux International Television Exhibition in June, 1995. The HD‐SAT system exploits the 20 GHz frequency band as the basis of a complete broadcast system delivering very high quality High‐Definition TV (HDTV) services over a variety of media. The satellite segment implements graceful degradation to assure the required service continuity. MPEG‐2 transmultiplexing is performed at the cable head‐end to provide an optimised transport stream for the cable channel. Maximising compliance to MPEG‐2 standards for the picture coding and DVB standards for the transmission segments results in a system open to interworking with other media and other services. This was demonstrated at the Montreux event, where the HD‐SAT system was demonstrated over live satellite and standard cable networks, and where common HD‐SAT coding and receiver hardware was used for the dTTb terrestrial and cable transmission within the joint demonstration.
