9、andardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis.

10、ce (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1. In some areas

11、 of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC.

In the pursuit of its work aimed towards the standardization of the tra

16、nsmission of television and sound-programme signals and of related data signals for purposes of contribution, primary distribution and secondary distribution, including cable television, SMATV and similar services, ITU-T has often found it necessary to develop new terminology, or to adapt it from cu

17、rrent technical parlance. This continuing work has resulted in a small glossary of terms, acronyms and definitions that is specific to that area of activity, and that should desirably find wide recognition and application. The purpose of this Supplement is to formalize this small glossary of terms,

18、acronyms and definitions, and to recommend its use in all the texts that address the services and technologies listed above. It is expected that the glossary will continue to gradually grow over the years, as new terms are developed or adapted. For an up-to-date listing of the glossary, the reader i
