GLOSSARY
DVR: short for Digital Video Recorder; this abbreviation refers
to any device capable of recording and saving a digital video
file. This is the high-tech equivalent of a VCR.
GB: GB is short for gigabyte which is a unit used to measure
computer storage capacity and is approximate to 1.07 billion
bytes. 1 Gigabyte of data is almost twice the amount of data
that a CD-ROM can hold. Additionally, 1 Gigabyte could hold
the contents of about 10 yards of books on a shelf.
LED: An abbreviation for “light emitting diode,” it’s an
electronic device that lights up when electricity passes through
it. LEDs are good for displaying images because they can
be relatively small, and they do not burn out. However, they
require more power than LCDs.
