High Definition Television channels are an advancement in TV technology; broadcasting on digital video format, and capable of displaying 16:9 aspect ratio images with resolution that is far superior and sharper than the current Analogue Television or Standard Definition Television. HD programmes will also be broadcast with full 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound where available.
- What are the key features of HD?
HD allows you to enjoy a widescreen movie experience on your TV. It does away with the traditional box format and allows a wide movie-screen experience as pictures are presented in 16:9 aspect ratio.
Most TV sets today are manufactured using the 4:3 aspect ratio - 4 units wide by 3 units high. HD on the other hand delivers images in 16:9 aspect ratio. So you enjoy panoramic widescreen viewing that most closely emulates the human field of vision. To be exact, you enjoy 33% more screen view than your standard TV.
The sharpness of your television image, or its screen resolution, is measured by the number of horizontal lines displayed on the TV screen. The more the lines and the higher resolution, the sharper the images are on your TV screen.
HD-ready TV sets offer at least twice the resolution and four times greater detail, sharpness and clarity than standard TVs.
You will have a totally different TV viewing experience, with theatre-quality pictures and cinematic sound effects in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound (where available).
Properly decoded, each audio track can be isolated to individual speakers around your TV viewing area to recreate the multi-dimensional audio experience you get in the cinema, right in your living room.
mio TV brings the widest and largest line up of HD programming in Singapore. - How do I enjoy HD channels?
