Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) Standards

The Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) standards set the technical guidelines for digital television broadcasting in the U.S. and other regions. They define how TV signals are transmitted, ensuring high-quality picture and sound, including HD and 4K content. These standards also support features like electronic program guides, interactive services, and improved reception. By adhering to ATSC standards, broadcasters deliver reliable, crisp digital broadcasts compatible with modern TVs and devices, replacing older analog signals and enabling more efficient use of broadcast spectrum.
