•Horizontal sync

The part of a video signal that indicates the end of a row and the start of a new one. See also vertical sync.

•Host

In general, Host refers to the principal CPU in one’s computer. It can also refer to the principal computer in a multi-computer set-up.

•HSL

A color space that represents color using components of hue, saturation, and luminance. The hue component describes the actual color of a pixel. The saturation component describes the concentration of that color. The luminance component describes the combined brightness of the primary colors.

•Interlaced scanning

Describes a scan mode in which the video source transfers odd-numbered rows of source data to the destination first, and then the even-numbered rows (or vice-versa).

See also progressive scanning.

•Internet Protocol (IP) address

The electronic address of a computer (station) on a TCP/IP network, which is unique for every client and server station. Client workstations have either a permanent or dynamically assigned address. The IP address is a dot address that is written as four sets of numbers separated by periods, also called dotted quad notation (for example, 203.142.62.2). The TCP/IP packet uses 32 bits to hold the IP address.
