Introduction

Digital Signal and Sound

The analog television broadcast system that has been used in the United States for the past 50 years transmits signals as electronic waves. These waves can suffer degradation as the signal travels to your home. Additionally, the analog waves are susceptible to interference from planes passing overhead, weather, and household appliances.

Digital signals, in contrast to analog signals, can be reproduced precisely because the images are transmitted and received using the computer language of 1s and 0s. Such precision yields a signal that is capable of displaying studio-quality picture and Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sound.

Part 3: Other Key Features of Owning an InFocus ScreenPlay HDTV

Your InFocus ScreenPlay HDTV is equipped with many features that will enhance your viewing experience. The following section highlights some of your TV’s most unique features. For details about many of the TV’s features, go to Chapter 3.

Integrated HDTV Tuner with Digital Cable Ready QAM

Your HDTV’s tuner is digital cable ready (no need for a cable box to view unscrambled digital cable programming). The CableCARD™ slot on your HDTV allows you to use a digital cable card to access digital cable. The tuner is able to decode all 35 formats of digital television broadcasts, and it can interpret unscrambled digital cable signals because it includes QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation).

Note: A digital cable card may be necessary to view scrambled (encrypted) channels. Contact your cable provider for more information. Go to page 20 for more information.

TruScan Digital Reality

The intelligent signal processing of TruScan Digital Reality recognizes incoming video signals and progressively converts them to achieve optimum digital picture performance. It also recognizes when original film sources have been modified and can automatically convert the analog frame rate back to its original format to bring out the detail--a process commonly referred to as reverse 3:2 pulldown.
