Contrast - The measure of difference between the lightest and darkest values appearing in an image. High-contrast images contain mainly dark values and white values with few steps or tones available in the image.
Picture-outside-Picture (PoP) - The dual-tuner design enables images from two sources to be displayed on 16:9 sets simultaneously. Instead of obscuring the main picture by superimposing it as an inset, it uses the extra picture area of the widescreen format to display it alongside the main image. Select models offer a Dual Viewer Split Screen feature that will display two equal-size pictures side-by-side from different channels simultaneously. Hitachi HDTV monitors will also display both standard definition and HD programs simultaneously.
Quick Start Recording - Relates to Hitachi DVD Camcorders.
IX [Information Exchange] - This is the designation for how the camera, film and photofinishing equipment communicate with each other. There are two types of Information Exchange. Optical Information Exchange simply exposes marks on the film in a reserved area. This is used to tell the photofinisher what format of picture you selected (C, H, or P) when the photo was taken. Magnetic Information Exchange has even more information. It can tell the photofinisher about the conditions that the picture was taken so that it can be printed to its best. It can also record greetings and information (date, time, name of event, etc.) which can be printed on the back (see Backprinting).
Cropping factor - Many digital SLRs use an image sensor that is smaller than 35mm film. If you attach a lens to one of these cameras, its 35mm equivalency will be multiplied by the cropping factor-a manufacturer's specification. For example, if your digital SLR has a cropping factor of 1.6x, then a 50mm lens mounted on your camera will have a 35mm equivalency of 80mm. That is, the 50mm lens will yield the same field of view as an 80mm lens on a 35mm camera.
Aspect Ratio - A numerical expression of the relationship of width to height of a TV screen. 4:3 - This numerical sequence refers to the aspect ratio of the National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) TV screen, with "4" unit width corresponding to "3" unit height, proportionally, regardless of the actual size of the screen. 16:9 - This numerical sequence refers to the aspect ratio of wide screen DTV formats for all HDTV and some SDTV (Standard Definition) video. A "16" unit width corresponds to "9" unit height proportionally, regardless of the actual size of the screen. The widescreen 16:9 numerical sequence provides a viewing experience very similar to that of 35 mm movies.
BlackBerryT - Handheld device developed by RIMr which focuses on wireless email communications, but can also run other applications.
