S-Video Connection - A method to interconnect video devices (such as a DVD player and the analog television) by sending the two signals luminance (Y) and an encoded color difference signal (C). The S-Video connection is made using a cable terminated in a small 4-pin connector (in some cases a 7 pin connector is used on computers to allow inclusion of an NTSC composite signal). S-video can greatly improve the picture when connecting SDTV or NTSC displays to a high quality video source such as DVDs.
Native format - Some DTVs will convert the 18 ATSC formats into 1 or 2 formats and will draw only those. For these sets, the `native' format is - 1. the formats the set will draw or - 2. the original format. (These are contradictory definitions, but they reflect current practice. 1 is probably the preferred meaning.)
Sub-channels - OTA DTV stations can show multiple programs simultaneously, subject to the 6 MHz bandwidth limit. This is called multicasting.
STB - (Set Top Box) - These include satellite receivers, cable TV receivers, OTA receivers, and various recording devices.
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.
Composite Video - An analog video signal (NTSC, PAL or SECAM) that includes both luminance (brightness) and chrominance (color) signals encoded together to form a single signal.
DTV - (digital TV). Examples of DTV are DBS satellite services, digital cable TV services, and ATSC digital TV stations.
