Pan-and-scan - A method of broadcasting a wide screen film on a 4:3 channel. Most of the time just the center of the image is shown. (The right and left edges are clipped off.)
UnZip - To decompress a file (usually text) using PKUNZIP or WinZip, two popular programs. The decompression takes place automatically when a Zip compressed file is opened (See Zip).
Capture - Acquiring information, such as an image, with a scanner or digital camera device.
Oversampling (CD players) - Multiplying the sampling frequency (44.1kHz) in a CD player to a higher frequency to shift noise components above audible levels. This feature creates a gentler low pass filter with more musical characteristics. This process usually yields a data rate of 352.8 kHz through 8x oversampling.
IPI - Irreversible Processed Indicator, a tab on the cassette. Depressed or broken in photofinishing to serve as an alternative indicator that the cassette has been processed.
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.
Video Input Labelling - Allows you to assign an on-screen label to each of the video inputs on the TV for easy identification of the video signal source. Video inputs can be labelled VCR, DVD or DBS instead of Video 1, Video 2, etc. Up to eight characters per label can be used.
