P
PAL Phase Alternate Line. European TV format.
Parity A process for detecting whether bits of data (parts of characters) have been altered
(error detection) during transmission of that data.
PCMCIA Personal Computer Memory Card International Association. The PCMCIA Card
standardizes credit-card size packages for memory and input/output (modems, LAN cards,
and so on) for computers, laptops, palm-tops. There are three types of PCMCIA Cards:
• A Type 1 PC Card is typically used for various types of memory enhancements,
including RAM, FLASH memory, one-time programmable (OTP) memory, and
electronically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM).
• A type II PC Card—the most common—is typically used for input/output such as
modem, LANs, host communications and SCSI device connections.
• A type III PC Card is twice the thickness of the Type II and is typically used for
input/output features that require a larger size, such as rotating mass storage devices
(removable hard disk drives) and radio communication devices.
POS Point of Service. A point of sale device such as a credit card scanner used for
authorization when a purchase is made.
PTZ Pan Tilt Zoom. Camera adjustment functions.
Q

SUU Software Update Utility. A Windows-based application that writes the data to the
HRDV16/8 memory via an RS232 connection and updates the flash in a one-load operation.
T
TTL output Transistor Transistor Logic. Defines the number of routers to which a packet
can be forwarded.
