3-2 pulldown technique for converting 24-frame/second
movie film images to 60-field/second video. One film
frame is transferred to three video fields and the follow-
ing film frame is transferred to two video fields. This pat-
tern is repeated in a 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2... sequence.
480i 480-vertical-line, interlaced-scan video format
480p 480-line, progressive-scan video format
720p 720-line, progressive-scan video format
1080i 1080-line, interlaced-scan video format
amplified subwoofer See "powered subwoofer."
anamorphic DVD See widescreen DVD.
aspect ratio Width and height of the screen or picture
expressed as a ratio or a number. TV aspect ratios are
16:9 (or 1.78) for widescreen and 4:3 (or 1.33) for full
screen. Movie film formats may vary and are often
slightly wider. Many DVD videos list their aspect ratio on
the back of their package.
analog tuner Refers to "old" NTSC over-the-air broad-
cast TV or cable-ready tuners.
ATSC Abbreviation for Advanced Television Systems
Committee which created the digital over-the-air broad-
cast signal format.
AV Audio-video.
CATV Cable TV (community access television or com-
munity antenna television); channels 1 to 125.
broadcast TV Over-the-air television, normally exclud-
ing satellite television.
comb filter An improved electronic circuit that sepa-
rates the luminance (Y) from color information (C) in a
composite video signal. This circuit is inside the TV and
helps prevent color from smearing across finely detailed
areas in the picture.
To produce the best picture from composite video inputs,
the 6501MA HDTV features a digital 3-D motion-adap-
tive Y/C separation (comb) filter.
component video YPbPr video. This is high-quality
analog three-signal video. The component video connec-
tors usually have green, blue, and red color coding.
composite video Single video signal that contains lumi-
nance (black and white), color, and sync. This may also
be labeled "V" or "CVBS."
CVBS Composite video (or composite video, blanking,
sync). See "composite video."
deinterlacer Circuit that converts an interlaced video
signal into a progressive-scan video signal. Deinterlac-
ers may be included in progressive-scan televisions
(such as the 6501MA HDTV) and may be included in
some components such as progressive-scan DVD play-
ers.
digital tuner New ATSC over-the-air broadcast or new
digital cable tuner.
Dolby See Virtual Dolby ® Surround.
DTV Digital television.
DVD Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc.
D-VHS Digital VHS. A VHS videotape format capable of
high-definition recording and playback. D-VHS tapes
cannot be played on a standard VHS VCR.
DVl Digital Visual Interface. Digital video signal connec-
tion standard used to send digital video signals from
video components such as DVD players, digital cable
boxes, digital satellite boxes, and computers to digital
televisions and monitors.
DVI-I connector Variation of DVl connector. The DVI-I
receptacle accepts both DVl digital and DVl digital-ana-
log plugs and cables.
EDTV Enhanced definition television. Intended to iden-
tify a digital TV receiver with active vertical scanning
lines of 480p or higher. Sometimes used to describe sig-
nals that are 480p. An EDTVmonitordoes not include an
ATSC digital tuner.
F-connector Common threaded broadcast antenna or
cable television coaxial-cable connector, inputs or out-
puts may be labeled RF. F-connector equipped cables
are available in threaded or push-on versions.
full-screen DVD A DVD that is formatted to fill a 4:3
television screen. (Compare to widescreen DVD.)
HDCP High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection.
HDCP is a type of digital signal encryption used between
some DVl- and HMDI-equipped video components,
including DVD players, digital cable boxes, digital satel-
lite boxes with DVl outputs, and digital TVs or displays.
HDCP encryption discourages illegal duplication of copy-
righted material. The 6501MA HDTV includes an HDCP
decoder for compatibility with video components that use
HDCP encryption.
HDMI TM High-Definition Multimedia Interface TM. A digital
audio-video interface.
The 6501MA HDTV accepts video from HDMI-equipped
video components using an HDMI-to-DVl adapter. Audio
is connected using a separate audio cable.
HDTV High-definition television receiver capable of dis-
playing 480p, 720p, 1080i, with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and
includes an ATSC digital over-the-air tuner.
HDTV monitor High-definition television capable of dis-
playing 480p, 720p, 1080i, with a 16:9 aspect ratio, but
without an ATSC digital over-the-air tuner.
interlaced scan Complete images created in twosteps
by displaying every other horizontal line and then filling in
the remaining lines. Formats include 480i, 1080i.
