Multi-path interference - Some neighborhoods are plagued with this problem: - The signal finds more than one path to the antenna. Multi-path results from reflections off of buildings and diffraction around the sides of hills. For NTSC sets this will result in ghosts: multiple images shifted laterally. For DTVs the result can be an unusable signal, even though it may be strong. The solutions are moving the antenna or selecting a very directional antenna. Newer generations of DTV receivers are better able to cope with multi-path.
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.
16 - 9 - Aspect ratio of widescreen DTV formats for all HDTV and some SDTV (Standard Definition) content, 16 unit width by to 9 unit height.
Set-top Converter Box - This unit sits on top of the viewer's analog TV, receives the Digital TV signal, converts it to an analog signal, and then sends that signal on to the analog TV.
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.
Y, PB, PR - A method for carrying the video between HDTV or SDTV devices that retains the maximum quality and is recommended for HD television. The video is carried on three cables, respectively carrying luminance (Y) and the two color difference signals (PB, PR).
Generation Loss - This refers to video degradation caused by successive recordings (dubs of other dubs) from the master source. This is overcome by digital recording.
