Feb., 1945 STATEMENT ON TELEVISION BROADCASTING 127
sufficient period of time to ascertain whether such improved method or system is desirable and practical technically, economically, and commercially.
The experience of the Motion Picture Industry and the previous experience of the Television Industry proves that the adoption commercially of new methods, systems, and improvements such as, for example, the addition of sound and color by the Motion Picture Industry, and the standardization of synchronization, line frequency, and type of modulation by the Television Industry does not happen overnight. All such recommended or proposed methods, systems, or improvements require extensive study, extended laboratory developments, and extended field trials to ascertain whether such recommendation or proposal is practical, economical, and commercially sound. In the writer's opinion, the increase in definition or the addition of color to the present standardized and field tested Television Broadcasting system, will require many years of laboratory development, and, beyond that stage, additional years of field testing under all types of field conditions to insure that the improvements are technically, economically, and commercially practicable and not just laboratory dreams. The experimental channels recommended by the Radio Technical Planning Board insure proponents of new methods, systems, or improvements, that development and field testing of such proposals can be carried out orderly by the Industry, and the Television Industry will determine after adequate field tests whether or not the proposed method, system, or improvement is technically sound and commercially practical, and last but not least, that the service, the picture quality, and the entertainment value are enhanced to the public.
