A Japanese broadcaster that is a proponent of ATV schemes similar to Faroudja’s SuperNTSC. NTV’s first generation EDTV system would use high line-rate and/or progressive scan cameras with prefiltering, adaptive emphasis, gamma correction, ghost cancellation, a progressive scan display, and advanced decoding at the receiver. The second generation would add more resolution, a widescreen aspect ratio, and better sound. The first generation is scheduled to be broadcast beginning in 1988.
