Artefacts - Unwanted visible effects in the picture created by errors in the video processing or noise/interference in analog circuits. Common artefacts include 'edge crawl' or 'hanging dots' in analog pictures or 'blockiness', noise or 'contouring' in digital pictures.
Raster - A group of closely-spaced lines whose brightness changes so as to appear to be an image.
Progressive Scanning - Some HD televisions use the "progressive" method of scanning, in which the whole picture is transmitted and presented on the screen in one pass. The resulting image is thus remarkably free of flicker and motion artefacts, appearing more "life-like". Some display types, such as LCD, plasma and DLP are inherently of the progressive scan type, while CRT's may be scanned progressively (as in computer monitors) or interlaced.
Dolby Digital (Dolby AC-3) - The 5.1 channel audio standard for DTV and HDTV in Canada and the USA. It includes six discreet audio channels - Left, Center, Right, Left Surround (or side), Right Surround (or side), and a subwoofer -- LFE, "low frequency effects" -- (considered the ".1" as it is limited in bandwidth). Many televisions process these six channels into a two channel stereo pair and do not provide the full 5.1 channel surround sound.
MTS - (Multi-channel Television Sound) - This refers to an analog NTSC TV equipped with stereo and SAP (separate audio program) features.
PSIP data - (Program and System Information Protocol) - This data is arranged as a table with multiple sub-tables. The data identifies the station name, what the sub-channels are, the program name, the following programs, content advisories, language options, and caption options. Some of this data is transmitted as often as 7 times per second.
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.
