Can VGA card connected to HDTV receiver ?
I have not personally tried any HVTV receiver interfacing, because the HDTV standard has not catched the markets in Europe as it is in USA (still beginning there also). I try to collect here some technical data on HDTV system in used in USA so that people who are interrested in experimenting on interfacing to their HDTV receivers have some grounds to start with their own experimenting. You may have heard that there are 18 different HDTV transmission formats. That is not true. There are only six that offer any image resolution above our beloved NTSC system (525 lines, 480 visible, interlaced scan). Those are: • 1,920 pixels on 1,080 lines, progressively scanned at 30 Hz refresh • 1,920 pixels on 1,080 lines, interlaced scan at 30 Hz refresh • 1,920 pixels on 1,080 lines, progressively scanned at 24 Hz refresh • 1,280 pixels on 720 lines, progressively scanned at 60 Hz refresh • 1,280 pixels on 720 lines, interlaced scan at 30 Hz refresh • 1,280 pixels on 720 lines, progressively scanned
