Broadcasting & Cable, May, 1994

The Grand Alliance HDTV system proposal won high grades from computer industry executives reviewing the system during a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) seminar last week. Participants from the alliance, a seven-company consortium building an HDTV broadcasting system, discussed the ability of their system to operate with computer networks and equipment.

Asked to vote on whether they thought the alliance should proceed with its design plan, computer industry representatives gave the project a thumbs up, with no opposing votes.
