3:2 pull-down - This is the process of converting a 24 frames/sec image into a 30 frames/sec image. Some line-doublers will reverse this process to acquire the original, and then re-perform it.

Dolby Digital (Dolby AC-3) - The 5.1 channel audio standard for DTV and HDTV in Canada and the USA. It includes six discreet audio channels - Left, Center, Right, Left Surround (or side), Right Surround (or side), and a subwoofer -- LFE, "low frequency effects" -- (considered the ".1" as it is limited in bandwidth). Many televisions process these six channels into a two channel stereo pair and do not provide the full 5.1 channel surround sound.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround. This is a 4-channel analog system. During recording, the 4 channels are "folded" into 2 stereo channels. If played back without a Pro Logic decoder, it sounds like normal stereo. This format is becoming obsolete.
Dot Pitch - The distance between pixels (picture elements) in a display. In a CRT for HDTV, the dot pitch is typically 0.25 - 0.3 mm. For full resolution HDTV display approximately 1400 pixels are required across the screen.
