Explanation of Terms

Aspect ratio

The TV screen's width to height ratio is referred to as its aspect ratio. The aspect ratio on standard TVs is 4:3 and on wide TVs or High Definition TVs it is 16:9.

S jack (SVIDEO jack)

This jack separates and transmits the video signal as two signals; the luminance (Y) signal and the color(C) signal. Because of this, picture reproduction is superior to that obtained at the composite input/output jacks.

S-video signal

The video signal is composed of two signals; the chroma signal (color signal) which reproduces color and the luminance signal which reproduces light and darkness. With standard video components, these two signals are combined into one and are handled as a video signal referred to as the "composite signal". The S-video signal, however, is a signal that handles these two signals separately. Because they are not combined as in the composite video signal, the high quality of both signals can be retained.

Component video signal

General term for video signal format composed of the Y.CBCR_r Y.PBPR and Y.B-Y.R-Y luminance signal ^+ color signal. The component video signal is sometimes simply called the "color difference signal".

G ON SYNC

This indicates a video signal in the form of a synchronization signal added to the G (GREEN) signal of the R.G.B signal.

VGA

General term for "Video Graphics Array". Generally this indicates a 640 dot x 480 line resolution.

WVGA

General term for "Wide Video Graphics Array". Generally this indicates a 848 dot x 480 line resolution.

XGA

General term for "eXtended Graphics Array". Generally this indicates a 1024 dot x 768 line resolution.

WXGA

General term for "Wide eXtended Graphics Array". Generally this indicates a 1280 dot x 768 line resolution.

SXGA

General term for "Super eXtended Graphics Array". Generally this indicates a 1280 dot x 1024 line resolution.

SXGA+

General term for "Super eXtended Graphics Array plus". Generally this indicates a 1400 dot x 1050 line resolution.

DVI

General term for "Digital Visual Interface". An interface standard proposed by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) for digital displays.

HDCP

General term for "High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection". HDCP is an encryption scheme for digital video signals created by Intel in order to protect contents. Signals output by HDCP-compliant DVI output connectors installed on consumer AV components (DVD players, etc.) are encrypted using HDCP in order to protect copyrighted contents.
