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.
SMPTE - "Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers." A professional organization that is responsible for the standards for film and television production.
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).
Letterbox - The full display of a wide aspect ratio 16 - 9 picture on a display of aspect ratio 4 - 3 will result in black bars above and below the picture. This arrangement is referred to as "Letterbox" and is often seen during movies shown on television.
Fire Wire - A digital interface originated by Apple Computer that can transport data at 100, 200, or 400 Mbps. It is widely used to interconnect digital video devices, such as cameras and displays. Also referred to as IEEE- 1394.
PVP-OPM - Protected Video Path Output Protection Management. Downgrades computer video resolution or blocks the picture entirely if the connected display doesn't support content protection.
YPrPb - Color representation requires three independent variables. CRTs - prefer red, green, and blue. Ink jet printers prefer yellow, magenta, and cyan. NTSC encodes color as luminance (brightness), hue (color), and saturation (absence of white in colors). Storage media such as DVDs prefer Y, Pr, and Pb, where Y is luminance, Pr is Y-red, and Pb is Y-blue. This is because Pr and Pb can be at lower resolution and not degrade the image noticeably, thus saving storage space.
