HDCP - (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) - This is a DVI decryption option. It will decode encrypted programs such as first-run movies. (Its real function is to prevent unauthorized copying of programs.)
Toslink - A fiber optic cable standard.
Composite Video Connection - A method to interconnect video devices (such as a DTV set-top box and the analog television) by sending the signal over a single cable. This method is suitable only for analog NTSC signals
HD-Ready TV - An HDTV monitor or TV that lacks a digital tuner.
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.
Fps - Frames per Second. To give the illusion of motion, television actually transmits a series of snapshot pictures referred to as frames. Increasing the frame rate improves motion smoothness and may reduce flicker in some displays. In Canada both analog and digital television transmits 30 Fps.
Aspect Ratio - the ratio of image width to image height. The term may apply to the display device configuration, or the shape of the content being displayed. (See Letterboxing) HDTV uses an aspect ratio of 16 units wide by 9 units high. Conventional television programming and displays are at an aspect ratio of 4 - 3. Digital SDTV programs may aspect ratios from 4 - 3 to 16 - 9, dependant on content and its source (e.g. upconverted NTSC is likely to be 4 - 3).
