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.

 

 

Audio Video (A/V)

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 cir-

 

cuitry within the TV set to prevent picture distortion and skewing. It is also used for audio-video proces-

 

sors, which handle both types of signals.

 

 

CVBS

Composite Video Baseband Signal. In broadcast television this refers to the video signal, including the

 

colour information and syncs.

 

 

Component Video

Component Video Input is a type of connection that uses a cinch-type connector to allow set top boxes

Input (Y Pb Pr)

or analog DVD players to connect a signal to the TV. By offering the cinch-type input (YPbPr) the pri-

 

mary 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.

 

 

HDTV

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).

 

 

Progressive Scan

In Progressive Scanning all the horizontal scan lines are scanned on to the screen at one time. The HDTV

 

Standards accept both Interlaced Scan and Progressive Scan broadcast and display methods.

 

 

Resolution

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: 576i - The picture is 720x576 pixels, 576p - The picture is 720x576 pixels.

 

HDTV: 720p - The picture is 1280x720 pixels, 1080i/p - The picture is 1920x1080 pixels,
