Broadcast TV: Broadcasting video signals using high-frequency electromagnetic waves to distribute television channels to viewers (standard TV broadcast).

CATV: Community Antenna Television, the original name for cable TV. A television distribution system that uses coaxial cable instead of the traditional radio broadcasting (over-the-air) method to deliver television, FM radio, and other services to consumers.

Color Temperature: Adjusting the color temperature enables you to set the intensity of white light. Color temperature is measured in Kelvin (K). Higher color temperatures result in a blue tint. Lower temperatures result in a red tint.
