35mm equivalency - What a digital lens would be equivalent to in terms of a 35mm film SLR camera. Used as a standard for discussing the field of view and magnification power of a lens. In 35mm equivalency, lenses over 50mm are telephoto, whereas lenses below 50mm are wide-angle or fisheye lens. In a digital SLR, a mirror placed in front of the focal plane (where the image sensor sits) bounces the light that comes from the lens upward into a prism and then out the eyepiece. When you press the shutter button, the mirror flips up out of the way so the light can pass to the focal plane.
Comb Filter, 3-line Digital - The 3-line digital comb filter provides a very accurate means of separating the colour from the black and white in the television signal. The filter works with three lines of picture information and is effective in removing dot crawl and hanging dots, both vertically and horizontally.
PDA - Personal digital assistant. Refers to a wide variety of handheld and palm-size PCs, electronic organizers, Smartphones, and pagers.
Chasing Playback™ (Panasonic) - Users can begin watching a program, even while it is still recording that same program.
ALiS (Alternate Lighting of Surfaces) Plasma Technology - Hitachi's advanced plasma display design that eliminates the physical grid structure common with conventional plasma designs. ALiS produces a smooth, seamless image, especially noticeable when viewing curves or diagonals. ALiS has been developed to perfectly match the viewable center 1024 lines of a 1080 interlaced HDTV signal, a precise line-for-line display, with no distracting vertical scaling artifacts.
Bluetooth - Technology allowing short-range radio links between mobile devices. Unlike infrared, Bluetooth does not require a clear line of sight to operate properly. Many mobile phones are now Bluetooth-enabled.
JAR - Java ARchive. A file that contains the data for a J2ME application, gathered into a single location and compressed for faster downloading.
