The NYIT ATV scheme. VISTA is based on the inability of the human visual system to perceive high temporal and high spatial resolution simultaneously. It combines low frame rate, high line rate information with normal frame rate, normal line rate information to create a channel-compatible, receiver-compatible signal plus a 3 MHz augmentation channel. Aspect ratio accommodation has been suggested by blanking adjustment, squeeze, and shoot and protect techniques. In spite of the relatively small size of NYIT’s research center, VISTA was one of the first ATV schemes to actually be implemented in hardware.
