SVGA - This acronym is short for the "Super Video Graphics Array" display mode. SVGA resolution is 800 x 600 pixels.
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.
FTA - (Free To All MPEG-2 broadcasts) - The two most common digital schemes found on C-band and Ku band are 4DTV and FTA. FTA receivers are available to consumers, but there is effectively no regular HD programming.
DTH - Direct-to-Home satellite delivery. May also be called DBS or Direct broadcast satellite. In Canada, Bell ExpressVu and Star Choice provide DTH services in both HDTV and SDTV.
DLP - (digital light processor). A technology for video projection, also call DMD (Digital Micro-mirror Device). It is a large chip with about a million tiny mirrors on its surface. The chip can tilt each mirror to vary the amount of light reflected off of it.
CRTC - Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, the federal regulatory body for television programming and broadcasting in Canada.
DTCP - (Digital Transmission Content Protection) - This is an encryption standard for IEEE 1394 that prevents the copying of first-run movies and pay-per-view events. DTCP is also called 5C Copy protection (in reference to the `five companies' that license it).
