9 Glossary A ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) It is a data communications technology that enables faster data transmission over highspeed broadband networks. C CEC (Consumer electronics Control) CEC is part of the HDMI standard. If CEC is available in the source and HDTV devices in your home setup, the devices will be able to pass commands through the HDMI connection. Examples of CEC behavior are: 1. Being able to command your source using the remote of your TV, 2. One-Touch-Play: by pushing the PLAY button on your source, your TV will automatically switch to the corresponding input channel of that source, 3. When the HDTV enters Standby-mode, the receiver will automatically enter listening mode. H HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) It is a high-speed digital interface that can transmit uncompressed high definition video and digital multichannel audio. It delivers high quality picture and sound quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is fully backwardcompatible with DVI. As required by the HDMI standard, connecting to HDMI or DVI products without HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) will result in no Video or Audio output. HDTV (High-Definition Television) It is a digital television broadcasting system with higher resolution than traditional television systems (standard-definition TV, or SDTV). HDTV is digitally broadcast; the earliest implementations used analog 22 EN broadcasting, but today digital television (DTV) signals are used, requiring less bandwidth due to digital video compression. R RCA (Radio Corporation of America) cables A standard type of cable used to transmit analog audio and composite-video signals between devices such as televisions, satellite or cable receivers, VCRs, game console systems, speakers and more. Typical RCA cables will have two or three color coded connectors. RF (Radio Frequency) It is a frequency or rate of oscillation within the range of about 3 Hz to 300 GHz. This range corresponds to frequency of alternating current electrical signals used to produce and detect radio waves. Y YPbPr The designation for analog component video signals. The Y, Pb and P are sets of three inputs or outputs on better video equipment and TVs. The three cables used in a YPbPr connection represent higher quality than the single-wire composite cable commonly used to hook up video equipment, because the brightness and color components of the signal are maintained separately. The YPbPr signals are derived from the red, green and blue (RGB) colors captured by a scanner or digital camera, and RGB is converted into brightness and two color difference signals for TV/video.
