20. Glossary of terms 20. Glossary of terms AC3 Dolby Digital, sound system AGC Automatic Gain Control. . This always provides the best picture quality. It does not, however, guarantee a perfect picture, as the AGC is dependent on the input signal. The poorer the input signal, the less the AGC can manage. Analog An ordinary signal transmission procedure, where the fluctuations of the signal exactly correspond to the sound and picture waveforms of the source.
20. Glossary of terms CF Compact Flash. Standard for a storage medium (memory card) with Flash memory which retains information even without power. CF is a scaled-down, minimally altered version of PCMCIA memory cards with the ATA interface. This makes it possible to operate them over a simple PCMCIA adapter without controller logic.
