Multiple sub-Nyquist sampling encoding
open-in-new
<p>MUSE (Multiple sub-Nyquist Sampling Encoding), commercially known as Hi-Vision (a contraction of HIgh-definition teleVISION) was a Japanese <a href="/facts/Analog_high-definition_television_system/8GUP2FH8">analog high-definition television system</a>, with design efforts going back to 1979. Traditional interlaced video shows either odd or even lines of video at any one time, but MUSE required four fields of video to complete a single video frame. Hi-Vision also refers to a closely related Japanese television system capable of transmitting video with 1035i resolution, in other words 1035 interlaced lines. MUSE was used as a compression scheme for Hi-Vision signals. </p>
