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.
SDTV - (standard definition TV) - SDTV is 480i, which is approximately the resolution of NTSC and DVDs.

Raster - A group of closely-spaced lines whose brightness changes so as to appear to be an image.

Cable Modem - A data modem that provides an Internet connection over the TV cable network. Video-on-demand or interactive services may require such a connection.
Addressable Resolution - The highest resolution signal that a display device (television or monitor) can accept as input. Some display devices may not be capable of displaying such signals and may downconvert them to a lower resolution prior to display.
