Analog sound varies, while digital sound has specific
numerical values. These terminals send audio through two
channels, the left and right.

image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional
TVs. is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.

Dolby Laboratories provides completely independent
multi-channel audio. With 3 front channels (left, center,

provides five full-range audio channels. With an additional
channel especially for bass effects (called LFE, or low
frequency effect), the system has a total of 5.1-channels

stereo for the surround speakers, more accurate moving
sound effects and surround sound environment are
possible than with Dolby Surround.

■ HDMI

industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video
interface. Providing an interface between any source (such
as a set-top box or AV controller) and an audio/video
monitor (such as a digital television), HDMI supports
standard, enhanced or high-definition video as well as
multi-channel digital audio using a single cable. HDMI
/
B
transmits all ATSC (Advanced Television Systems
Committee) HDTV standards and supports 8-channel
digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate
future enhancements and requirements.
When used in combination with HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection), HDMI provides a secure
audio/video interface that meets the security requirements
of content providers and system operators.
For further information on HDMI, visit the HDMI website
at "www.hdmi.org/".
■ Interlace
The most common type of scanning used in televisions. It
divides a screen into even and odd numbered fields for
scanning, and then builds an image by combining them
into one image (frame).
