Twenty-five years ago this week, the world’s first HDTV broadcast system was unveiled in Las Vegas at the 1995 NAB Show. AGC Systems’ Aldo Cugnini was there, as one of the many engineers who developed the “Grand Alliance” digital HDTV system. Then at Philips, Aldo had a leadership role in the system’s development, which went on to become the ATSC digital television system.
