Acronym Definition
DVB
Digital Video Broadcasting — a set of open worldwide standards that define digital broadcasting
using existing satellite, cable, and terrestrial infrastructures. It uses the MPEG-2 specification as a
universal foundation and expands it with DVB data structures and processes; DVB-compliant
digital broadcasting and equipment is widely available to consumers and is indicated with the DVB
logo.
DVB-CSA
DVB Common Scrambling Algorithm — the streaming encryption algorithm used across all DVB
systems for content protection. The complete conditional access system relies on this common
scrambling unit and proprietary software, which generates and distributes decryption keys for the
stream decryptors.
DVI
Digital Visual Interface standard (EIA/CEA-861A). The standard defines a method for sending
digital video signals over DVI and OpenLDI interface specifications. The standard is fully backward
compatible with earlier DVI standards. New features include carrying auxiliary video information,
such as aspect ratio and native video format information.
DVO Digital Video Output. The parallel, low voltage signaling interface defined for Intel video chipsets.
GPIO General Purpose Input Output.
HDCP
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection standard. A protocol developed by Intel, designed to
protect digital audio and video content as it travels across DVI or HDMI connections. Not part of
the HDMI standard but widely understood to be a necessary complement to the interface. The
HDCP specification is proprietary and implementation of HDCP requires a license.
HDD
Hard Disk Drive – magnetic mass storage device used in media centers for audiovisual program
recording.
HDMI
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI). This interface is used between any audio/ video
source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver, and an audio or video monitor, such
as a DTV. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital
audio on a single cable. The format transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports eight-
channel digital audio (at up to a 192-kHz sampling rate), with bandwidth to spare for future
enhancements.
HDTV
High-Definition Television — HDTV specifically refers to the highest-resolution formats of the 18
total DTV formats, true HDTV is generally considered to be 1,080-line interlaced (1080i) or 720-
line progressive (720p).
I2C*
Inter-IC Control.
I2S*
Integrated Interchip-Sound
IEEE 1394
1394
IEEE 1394 or iLink* or FireWire* An IEEE electronics industry standard for connecting multimedia
and computing. Up to 63 devices can be attached to your PC via a single plug-and-socket
connection.
IEEE 802.11
802.11
The Institute for Electronics and Electrical Engineers (IEEE) wireless network specification.
802.11g and 802.11a networks can transmit payload at rates in excess 34 Mbits/s, and allow for
wireless transmission at distances ranging from several dozen to several hundred feet indoors.
ITP-XDP In Target Probe - Expanded Debug Port.
JEDEC Joint Electron Device Engineering Council - solid state technology forum.
LAI Logic Analyzer Interface.
LPC Low Pin Count interface.
LVDS Low Voltage Differential Signaling.
MPEG*
Motion Picture Experts Group — organization that develops standards for digital video and digital
audio compression
MPEG-2*
The designation for a group of AV coding standards agreed upon by MPEG (Motion Pictures
Experts Group), and published as ISO standard 13818. MPEG-2 is typically used to encode audio
and video for broadcast signals, but includes transport systems as well.
MULTI2
A cryptographic method, which partitions signal rows into blocks and then stirs it using key data.
MULTI-2 was developed by Hitachi and is used as a scrambling algorithm for digital television in
Japan. It is defined in ARIB STB B-25.
NAND
A logical operator that consists of an logical AND followed by a logical NOT and returns a false
value only if both operands are true. Used to describe a type of FLASH memory based upon NAND
gates.
