NTSC - (National Television System Committee technical standard) - This is analog TV invented in 1946. NTSC has 525 lines (483 visible) interlaced, 60 fields per second. This standard is in use in North America, Japan, South Korea, Burma, Taiwan, the Philippines, and much of South America.
Pixel - A picture element; a single displayable video dot. HDTV requires from 1 to 2 million pixels in the display for full resolution images to be shown.
Down Converting - Process by which a high-definition signal is converted to a standard definition picture.
Terrestrial Broadcasting - This is a broadcast signal transmitted "over-the-air" to an antenna.
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.
LCD - (Liquid Crystal Display) - A common display technology. LCD is likely to replace CRTs in the smallest HDTV's.
Artefacts - Unwanted visible effects in the picture created by errors in the video processing or noise/interference in analog circuits. Common artefacts include 'edge crawl' or 'hanging dots' in analog pictures or 'blockiness', noise or 'contouring' in digital pictures.
