AC-3 - The 5.1-channel compressed digital sound system specified for DTV broadcasting in Canada. AC-3 delivers CD-quality digital audio and provides five full-bandwidth channels for front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right speakers, plus an LFE (low frequency effect) subwoofer, for a total of 5.1 channels. AC-3 is one member of a family of sound systems developed by Dolby Labs.
DirecTV - (see DBS)
VGA - This acronym is short for the "Video Graphics Array" display mode. VGA resolution is 640 x 480 pixels.
Plasma Displays (PDP). A technique that builds an image from a large number of pixels formed in a glass panel. The pixels are individually controlled, yielding a picture free of flicker and of high brightness. Displays of excellent resolution and color are available and the display approaches the "television picture on the wall" ideal. PDP displays up to 160 cm (63in.) are available, making them suitable for the home theatre.
NTSC - National Television Systems Committee. The organisation that created the standards for production and broadcasting of analog color television programming in Canada and the United States. The term is widely used to mean a composite analog television signal.
CRT - An analog vacuum tube technology that has been the mainstay of conventional TV displays for many years, writing the picture on a phosphor coated screen with an electron beam. It can produce bright pictures of excellent resolution but the size and weight of a unit suitable for the large, wide-screen displays needed for HDTV may be, for some, a disadvantage.
MPEG-2 - (Motion Picture Experts Group technical standard 2) - This is a widely used standard for digital encoding of motion pictures. It typically achieves a 50 to 1 compression of data. It achieves this mainly by not retransmitting areas of the screen that have not changed since the previous frame.
