I would look up in the library, the IEEE periodicals on Communications and
Broadcasting, the SMPTE Journal and its 240M Standard for 1125/60 system.
There is a new book available called HDTV Advanced Television for the 1990s
by K.B. Benson and D.G. Fink from McGraw-Hill ISBN 0-07-020983-9 for about $40.
Its technical, written for engineers and scientists.
