Remote Programming - A delayed recording method that uses the remote control and digital readout on the VCR or TV screen.
IEEE 1394 - Also called Firewire or iLink. Originally a serial bus for PCs, 1394 may or may not become the interconnection standard for DTV products. It is competing with DVI. IEEE 1394 is a spec for a hardware interconnect plus a software shell. But additional software, such as HAVi, is required for connected units to actually talk to each other. Some day 1394 may dramatically simplify the way DTV products interconnect.
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) - A graphics file format common to online services and the Internet. A GIF utilizes a Ito 8-bit palette to minimize file size (pronounced "jiff").
SCSI Port - The connection used by SCSI devices to connect to the CPU. Often SCSI devices are used in a series called a "Scuzzie Chain."
Auto Programming (Tuner): - Automatically scans through the available channels and enters them into programming. It eliminates any channels that have no signal. Once Auto-Programming is complete the viewer can manually delete any unwanted channels.
OS - Operating System. Handheld computers may have a Windows CE operating system, Palm operating system, or other type such as linux.
Aspect Ratio - the ratio of image width to image height. The term may apply to the display device configuration, or the shape of the content being displayed. (See Letterboxing) HDTV uses an aspect ratio of 16 units wide by 9 units high. Conventional television programming and displays are at an aspect ratio of 4 - 3. Digital SDTV programs may aspect ratios from 4 - 3 to 16 - 9, dependant on content and its source (e.g. upconverted NTSC is likely to be 4 - 3).
