MTS - (Multi-channel Television Sound) - This refers to an analog NTSC TV equipped with stereo and SAP (separate audio program) features.
Barn Doors - A term used in television production to describe the effect that occurs when a 4:3 image is viewed on a 16:9 screen. When this happens, viewers see black bars on the sides of the screen or "barn doors."
First-surface mirror - Normal mirrors have the silvering on the back surface of the glass. First surface mirrors have it on the front.
Multicasting - The option to multicast was made possible by digital technology to allow each digital broadcast station to split its bit stream into 2, 3, 4 or more individual channels of programming and/or data services. (For example, on channel 7, you could watch 7-1, 7-2, 7-3 or 7-4.)
YPrPb - Color representation requires three independent variables. CRTs - prefer red, green, and blue. Ink jet printers prefer yellow, magenta, and cyan. NTSC encodes color as luminance (brightness), hue (color), and saturation (absence of white in colors). Storage media such as DVDs prefer Y, Pr, and Pb, where Y is luminance, Pr is Y-red, and Pb is Y-blue. This is because Pr and Pb can be at lower resolution and not degrade the image noticeably, thus saving storage space.
STB - (Set Top Box) - These include satellite receivers, cable TV receivers, OTA receivers, and various recording devices.
Interoperability - This refers to the ability of a system or a product to work with other systems or products without special effort on the part of the customer. For example, interoperability would be required for a digital television set to be plugged into a VCR that is plugged into cable with all the components working together.
