Aspect ratio: The ratio between the width and height of a screen or image, such as 4:3 (4 units wide by 3 units high) of standard screen TVs, or 16:9 (16 units wide by 9 units high) of widescreen TVs. Component (or YPbPr) connector: Component connectors split the signal into three parts and consist of color-coded red, green, and blue cables. This connection gives a superior image over composite or S-video connections. Composite (or RCA) connector: Composite or RCA connectors are the most common video connectors and the lowest quality. They transmit the entire video signal through one cable. Typically, the connectors are color-coded: red for right channel audio, white for left channel audio, and yellow for video. | | Digital television (DTV): Digital television, TV signals that are broadcast in digital format. Digital signals, composed of coded instructions that are deciphered by a digital receiver, are superior to analog transmissions because they are not affected by signal strength, provide better resolution and superior audio quality, and can carry data. Current DTV standards encompass 18 different formats classified as either HDTV (high definition TV), EDT (enhanced definition TV), or SDTV (standard definition TV). Class Format Aspect Ratio High Definition (HDTV) 720p or 1080i 16:9 Enhanced Definition (EDTV) 480p 4:3 or 16:9 Standard Definition (SDTV) 480i 4:3 or 16:9 DVI connector: A DVI cable resembles a standard VGA cable, but DVI is slightly larger. DVI is the preferred source for HDTV signals because it requires the fewest encoding/decoding steps. DVI's digital format provides higher-quality images than analog. Enhanced definition television (EDTV): Enhanced definition television, a digital TV format with | | Plasma: A plasma screen is an array of cells or pixels, each composed of three sub-cells that produce colored light (red, green, and blue). Electricity excites the gas in the cells, causing them to glow and produce the images you see on the screen. Plasma technology allows TVs to be quite thin and lightweight, compared to cathode ray tube (CRT) displays, and easily mountable on a wall. Plasma TVs have superior image quality across large screen sizes and are free of distortion around the screen edges, are brighter than liquid crystal displays (LCDs), permit a wide viewing angle (up to 160 degrees), and are not affected by magnetic fields. One disadvantage of plasma TVs is their susceptibility to image retention or screen burn. Progressive scanning: A method of displaying images from a video signal on a television screen. With progressive scanning, the vertical lines on the screen are filled in sequentially, rather than in two passes as with interlaced scanning. (See also interlaced scanning.) S-video: |
