Digital Cable - A service provided by many cable providers, digital cable offers viewers more channels. Contrary to many consumers' beliefs, digital cable is not the same as High-Definition Television or digital television; rather digital cable simply offers cable subscribers the options of paying for more services. Digital Monitor - DTV monitors are televisions that can display a digital signal but lack an integrated tuner (unlike an integrated digital set), and thus cannot receive a digital broadcast signal without an additional set-top box.
SPDIF - (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) - This is digital audio, and can be either coaxial cable or fiber optic.
VGA - a 5-wire standard interface, originally for computer monitors, now common for HDTV monitors. Usually the 5 wires are in one cable. The connector can be either a 15-pin connector or five BNC connectors. The signals are usually red, green, blue, horizontal sync, and vertical sync. But Y, Pr, and Pb can replace the colors.
CRTC - Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, the federal regulatory body for television programming and broadcasting in Canada.
DTVLink - This logo is on equipment that has IEEE 1394 and DTCP.
Progressive Scanning - Some HD televisions use the "progressive" method of scanning, in which the whole picture is transmitted and presented on the screen in one pass. The resulting image is thus remarkably free of flicker and motion artefacts, appearing more "life-like". Some display types, such as LCD, plasma and DLP are inherently of the progressive scan type, while CRT's may be scanned progressively (as in computer monitors) or interlaced.
Raster - A group of closely-spaced lines whose brightness changes so as to appear to be an image.
