CDTV - Canadian Digital Television, a not-for-profit, government-approved body, with members from all sectors of the TV industry. CDTV is mandated to advise its members, Industry Canada and the CRTC on the roll out of DTV in Canada.
Digital Cable - A service provided by many cable providers, digital cable offers viewers more channels. Contrary to many consumers' beliefs, digital cable is not the same as High-Definition Television or digital television; rather digital cable simply offers cable subscribers the options of paying for more services. Digital Monitor - DTV monitors are televisions that can display a digital signal but lack an integrated tuner (unlike an integrated digital set), and thus cannot receive a digital broadcast signal without an additional set-top box.
Interlaced Scanning - Some HD televisions and most conventional televisions use the "interlace" method of scanning, in which the picture is transmitted and painted on the screen in two passes. In the first pass, every other line is painted and in the second, the lines in between. Some display types, such as LCD, plasma and DLP cannot display directly images transmitted as interlaced signals and must convert them to a progressive format prior to their display.
Toslink - A fiber optic cable standard.
LCD - (Liquid Crystal Display) - A common display technology. LCD is likely to replace CRTs in the smallest HDTV's.
TCP/IP - " Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol." TCP/IP is the method most commonly used in the Internet to transfer data, including streaming video and audio, between computers.
OAR - (original aspect ratio) - Also called Letterbox format, OAR means that none of the image is clipped or squeezed. Unused parts of the screen are usually black.
