CRTC - Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, the federal regulatory body for television programming and broadcasting in Canada.
Interlaced scan - Historically, TV CRTs are interlaced, while computer CRTs are not. Interlaced means that the electron beam skips every other horizontal line, filling in the missing lines on the next pass. A frame is composed of 2 fields. One field is all of the odd numbered lines, and the other field is all of the even numbered lines.
Pixel - Pixel is actually two words jammed together _ picture and element. A pixel is a tiny sample of video information, the "little squares" that make up an overall picture.
Datacasting - Also known as "enhanced TV." Datacasting is the act of providing enhanced options offered with some digital programming to provide additional program material or non-program related resources. This allows viewers the ability to download data (video, audio, text, graphics, maps, services, etc.) to specially equipped computers, cache boxes, set-top boxes, or DTV receivers.
Dot Pitch - The distance between pixels (picture elements) in a display. In a CRT for HDTV, the dot pitch is typically 0.25 - 0.3 mm. For full resolution HDTV display approximately 1400 pixels are required across the screen.
Pixels Per Inch - Pixels per inch (PPI) is a measure of the sharpness (that is, the density of illuminated points) on a television display screen.
Resolution - A measure of the density of lines and dots per line which make up a visual image. Usually, the higher the numbers, the sharper and more detailed the picture will be. In terms of DTV, maximum resolution refers to the number of horizontal scanning lines multiplied by the total number of pixels per line.
