hardware
A computing system is normally spoken of as having two
major components: hardware and software. Hardware is
the term used to describe any of the physical embodiments
of a computer system, with emphasis on the electronic
circuits (the computer) and electromechanical devices
(peripherals) that make up the system.

interlaced
A graphics system in which the even scanlines are refreshed
in one vertical cycle (field), and the odd scanlines are
refreshed in another vertical cycle. The advantage is that the
video bandwidth is roughly half that required for a non-
interlaced system of the same resolution. This results in less
costly hardware. It also may make it possible to display a
resolution that would otherwise be impossible on given
hardware. The disadvantage of an interlaced system is
flicker, especially when displaying objects that are only a
few scanlines high.
IQ Signals
Similar to the color difference signals (R-Y), (B-Y) but using
different vector axis for encoding or decoding. Used by
some USA TV and IC manufacturers for color decoding.
