dard digital connection between A/V devices, such as a set-top box,

DVD player or A/V receiver, and a digital television. HDMI offers

exceptional video and audio quality with a single quick-disconnect

and component video color spacing for true rendering of high-

definition video. It supports the HDCP protection standard, allowing

transmission of copy-protected digital content to your display.

HDTV—High Definition Television (1080i & 720p).

Interlaced Scanning—The process of scanning two fields of video

then combining (interlacing) them to make one frame.

format used for digitizing analog data.

displayed on a 16:9 ratio screen. Black borders

screen horizontally).

Postage Stamp—This term is used to describe a 4:3

aspect ratio image that the broadcaster has up-coverted

to a 16:9 aspect ratio image, then displayed on a 4:3

aspect ratio screen. Black borders appear at the top,

sides, and bottom of the screen (image fails to fill screen both verti-

cally and horizontally). (See Zoom definition below.)

Progressive Scanning—The process of scanning lines sequentially.

One field produces one frame.

PSIP—Program and System Information Protocol is a collection of

tables designed to operate within every transport stream for DTV

broadcasts. PSIP includes instructions advising TVs that a change

is about to occur and where virtual channel programming can be

found.

Set-Top Box (STB)—A device that receives and converts signals for

display on a television screen or monitor (can be digital or analog).

Many digital STBs have cable and off-air tuners.

SDTV—Standard Definition Television (480i).

same program on an analog channel and a DTV channel. This is

required by the FCC during the transition from analog to digital.

S/P DIF —S/P DIF is a digital audio format that can transmit a Dolby

Digital bit stream. By connecting this output to an AV receiver that

includes a Dolby Digital decoder, the TV can reproduce up to 5.1

channels of surround sound. S/P DIF can also transmit PCM audio.

Surround Sound (Front)—This feature adds another dimension to

the acoustic experience and helps to improve the movie-theater like

sound.

Terrestrial Broadcast—An over-the-air broadcast to an antenna.

Tuner Indicator—The letters “D,” “C,” or “DC” will appear directly

to the left of the channel number:

Off-air channels selected with the digital (DTV) tuner will have

the prefix “D.”

Channels selected with the analog (NTSC) tuner will either have

the prefix “C” (analog cable channels) or will be blank (for terres-

trial, VHF/UHF channels).

ClearQAM digital cable channels will have the prefix “DC.”

Tuner Key—This key is used to toggle from one tuning system to

another, digital channels and analog channels.

Upconverting—A process for increasing the number of pixels in an

image (may include changing the frame rate and scanning format).

Additional pixels are inserted between existing pixels in an attempt to

simulate HDTV. This process does not increase the resolution.

Virtual Channel—Channels broadcasted with major and minor

information contained in the PSIP package. The number of virtual

channels a broadcaster can send depends on the resolution of the

programming.

Wide-Screen—Used to describe a 16:9 or greater aspect ratio. 16:9

is the standard aspect ratio for HDTV programming. Movies screens

are sometimes slightly wider (often 2:1).

Zoom—Enlarges center of the image. For

instance, if you have a postage stamp image

shape, press this key to enlarge image.
