Glossary
Aspect Ratio The ratio between the width and height of the TV picture on the screen. In a normal TV set the aspect ratio is 4 to 3 (4:3). The new aspect ratio in HDTV is 16:9 which resembles the aspect ratio in a movie theatre (Widescreen). New TV systems support both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratio and can automatically switch between them. A term often used when discussing a channel on a TV receiver or on video equipment, which has been especially designed to accept VCR audio-video signals. This channel automatically activates special circuitry within the TV set to prevent picture distortion and skewing. It is also used for audio-video processors, which handle both types of signals. Composite Video Baseband Signal. In broadcast television this refers to the video signal, including the colour information and syncs. Component Video Input is a type of connection that uses a cinch-type connector to allow set top boxes or analog DVD players to connect a signal to the TV. By offering the cinch-type input (YPbPr) the primary colors, red, green and blue are connected from a set top box directly into the TV allowing for the signal to display on the screen. The generally agreed upon definition of HDTV is approximately twice the vertical and horizontal picture resolution of today�s NTSC TV, which essentially makes the picture twice as sharp. HDTV also has a screen ratio of 16:9 as compared with most of today�s TV screens, which have a screen ratio of 4:3. HDTV offers reduced motion artifacts (i.e. ghosting, dot crawl). Phase Alternating Line, is color encoding system used in broadcast television systems in large parts of the world. PAL was developed by Telefunken in Germany. In Progressive Scanning all the horizontal scan lines are scanned on to the screen at one time. The Digital TV and HDTV Standards accept both Interlaced Scan and Progressive Scan broadcast and display methods. Resolution: A measurement of the finest (smallest) detail that is visible in a video image. TV Resolutions may be expressed as number of pixels in an image; or more commonly, As Total Number of (horizontally scanned) Lines used to create the image. Standard Digital TV Resolutions: SDTV: 480i - The picture is 704x480 pixels, 480p - The picture is 704x480 pixels. HDTV: 720p - The picture is 1280x720 pixels, 1080i - The picture is 1920x1080 pixels, 1080p - The picture is 1920x1080 pixels. SPDIF (Sony and Philips Digital Interconnect Format) is highly recommended for high quality digital sound output.
