LCD - (Liquid Crystal Display) - A common display technology. LCD is likely to replace CRTs in the smallest HDTV's.
GLV - (Grating Light Valve) - This is another contender to replace CRTs in projection TVs.
Line Doublers - This device converts NTSC or 480i into 480p. Line doublers with motion-adaptive processing can to an extent turn a 30 frames/sec image into a 60 frames/sec image, thus removing some of the jerkiness and blurriness associated with motion.
PCM - (Pulse Code Modulation) - This 2-channel digital audio standard is simpler than Dolby Digital.
Reverse 3 - 2 Pull-Down - DTV material originating on film at 24 fps is converted to the 30 fps of DTV by repeating field or frames, resulting in some motion artefacts. Some film presentations remove these repeated images before transmission and send a signal to the television causing it to process (termed Reverse 3 - 2 Pull-Down) this material appropriately to make it suitable for display. In this way, the displayed material closely matches the original film quality, avoiding the motion artefacts.
Wide screen - A term given to picture displays with a wider aspect ratio than NTSC 4:3. Digital HDTV or SDTV is referred to as "16:9 wide screen." Most motion pictures also have a 16:9 wide screen aspect ratio. Most Digital TVs have a screen that is wider than it is tall (if a Digital TV screen is nine inches high, it's 16 inches wide.) When watching a show recorded in the wide screen format on a Digital TV, viewers see more of the movie, while when viewing wide screen format on an analog TV, cropped edges are evident.
Upconverting - Process by which a standard definition picture is changed to a simulated high-definition picture.
