Glossary

4:3

Refers to the ration between the length and the height of the screen.Wide screen televisions have a ration of 16:9 while conventional televisions have a ratio of 4:3.

4:3 Expand

The images recorded in “letterbox” format are expanded to fill the entire screen and the black horizontal bars at the top and bottom are removed.

Active Control

Is a unique, intelligent, and proactive control system, which measures and analyzes the incoming analog signal 60 times per second to automatically adjust settings for optimal picture quality.

Component video input (CVI)

Supports advanced video input (such as DVD) for superb colour purity, crisp colour detail and reduced colour noise-surpassing even that of S-Video!

Colour Transient Improver (CTI)

Color signals are processed to bring out subtle differences resulting in greater depth and enhanced color definition, as color bleed between color borders are eliminated.Therefore, there is an improved color definition and contrast without discoloration or blurring.

Luminance Transient Improver (LTI)

A new generation edge-enhancement technology which is applied directly to the video processing circuit to increase clarity and sharpness at the point of transition from the dark to light areas of the image.As a result there is an increase clarity and sharpness especially between dark and light areas of an image.

Contrast+

enhances the darker portions of the picture to improve its picture quality.

Personal Zapping

A Philips trade marked feature which allows any combination of favourite teletext pages or TV channels to be stored in the coloured Favourite Channels/Teletext keys.A total of 10 preferred channels/teletext pages of the same subject or user can be stored in each coloured key.

Scan Velocity Modulation (SVM)

It is an innovative circuit design to enhance edge details by varying the speed of the electron beam. It dramatically improves overall definition and contrast without any discoloration or blurring.

S-VHS Signals

These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards.The luminanace signals Y (Black and white) and chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded separately on the tape.This provides better picture quality than with standard video (VHS and 8 mm) where the Y/C signals are combined to provide only one video signal.

System

Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries.There are different standards: BG, DK, I and NTSC.The system setting (p. 5) is used to select these different standards.
