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.
Sampling - This is the digital process by which analog information is measured, often millions of times per second, in order to convert analog to digital.
Simulcast - The broadcast of the same program simultaneously over two or more different systems or channels, such as in HDTV and in NTSC. CRTC regulations require today that broadcasters simulcast much of their schedules.
S-Video Connection - A method to interconnect video devices (such as a DVD player and the analog television) by sending the two signals luminance (Y) and an encoded color difference signal (C). The S-Video connection is made using a cable terminated in a small 4-pin connector (in some cases a 7 pin connector is used on computers to allow inclusion of an NTSC composite signal). S-video can greatly improve the picture when connecting SDTV or NTSC displays to a high quality video source such as DVDs.
8VSB modulation technique - (8-level vestigial sideband) - DTV stations in the U.S. use 8VSB modulation. This is an AM mode wherein the carrier is multiplied by an 8-level digital signal, and then a filter is used to remove all but the carrier and 6 MHz of the upper sideband. ("8VSB" is often used as a synonym for OTA.)
DTS - Digital Theatre Sound System. A Dolby proprietary discrete 5.1 channel surround system similar to, but not the same as Dolby Digital AC-3, the DTV standard. DTS is used in cinema presentations and in DVD's.
SECAM - (Sequential Color And Memory standard) - This alternative to NTSC has 625 lines interlaced, 50 fields per second. It is used in the former USSR, France, and parts of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
