Glossary
EasyLink:
Digital link between the set and the video recorder which allows a direct transfer of certain
information such as channel setting or programming of the video recorder with NexTView guide
(NexTViewLink function).
RGB signals:
These are 3 Red, Green and Blue video signals which directly drive the red, green and blue emitters in
the cathode ray tube. Using these signals provides better picture quality.
S-VHS Signals:
These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards.The luminance
signals Y (black and white) and chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded separately on the tape.
This provides better picture quality than with standard video (VHS and 8 mm) where the Y/C signals
are combined to provide only one video signal.
NICAM sound:
Process by which digital sound can be transmitted.
System:
Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries.There are different standards :
BG, DK, I, and L L’.This is not to be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. Pal is used in most
countries in Europe, Secam in France, Russia and most African countries. The United States and Japan
use a different system called NTSC.
100Hz:
Conventional televisions (50 Hz) produce a visible image flicker.Thanks to 100 Hz technology, the scanning
frequency is doubled. It is visually more comfortable and the flickering effect is reduced.
16:9:
Refers to the length / height of the screen.Wide screen televisions have a ratio of 16/9 and
conventional TV sets have a ratio of 4/3.
