Analog TV - Analog technology has been in use for the past 50 years to transmit conventional TV signals to consumers. "Standard" television broadcasts in analog TV. Analog signals vary continuously, creating fluctuations in color and brightness.
Codec - This term is short for "Coder-decoder." A codec is a device that converts analog video and audio signals into a digital format for transmission. It also converts received digital signals back into an analog format.
D/A - Conversion of digital signals to analog signals. Most set-top boxes decode the digital signals broadcast and then convert them to analog signal for interconnection to the display device.
First-surface mirror - Normal mirrors have the silvering on the back surface of the glass. First surface mirrors have it on the front.
Progressive Scanning - A system of video scanning where lines of a picture are displayed consecutively (unlike interlaced).
CDTV - Canadian Digital Television, a not-for-profit, government-approved body, with members from all sectors of the TV industry. CDTV is mandated to advise its members, Industry Canada and the CRTC on the roll out of DTV in Canada.
Analog Video - The conventional NTSC television system in use today uses analog technology, in which the image sound and the picture brightness and color are represented by signals proportional to these values. The values of these signals are vulnerable to interference and noise. Digital television overcomes this vulnerability and delivers signals that are totally clean.
