V-Chip Program Lockout - This feature allows parents to use television rating codes to block programs that they feel are inappropriate for their children to view. The V-Chip can be turned on and off through the on-screen menu, using a four digit, user-programmed code. Once you choose an appropriate ratings level, the V-Chip reads the ratings codes transmitted with each program, compares it with the level you set and automatically denies access to any programming that exceeds your rating. If a program is denied, a blocking message will appear on screen and the audio will be muted. Activating the V-Chip program lockout also temporarily disables the picture-in-picture function.
Localize - The listener's ability to pinpoint the source of specific sounds. In home theatre, sounds for on-screen action should appear to come from the screen, while other sounds should seem to originate in a way that's consistent with the environment shown on the screen.
Airbrushing - A software tool found in many image editing programs that simulates the effect of a mechanical airbrush.
Shuffle Play - The CD player will play the songs from one CD in a random order. Some CD players offer another type of shuffle play, where the songs from all the CDs in the deck are played in random order.
HDTV - High Definition Television - HDTV is a TV system having approximately twice the vertical and horizontal picture resolution of today's NTSC TV and having a wide aspect ratio of 16 - 9. Two HDTV formats are currently in use; (a) 1920 pixels per line and 1080i lines per frame and (b) 1280 pixels per line and 720p lines per frame. HDTV can be recognised by its spectacular picture resolution, freedom from annoying artefacts and impressive 5.1 channel surround sound.
Shareware Registration - Best described as "try before you buy" software. Customers can either use the program for a limited amount of time or they are able to try a "crippled" version of the product. In both cases, the customer must register (pay for) the product in order to utilize all of its features for an unlimited time. Applications that use shareware registration often require an "unlock key" after purchase.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) - The ability of a camcorder to make critical decisions in processing the video signal. It will make judgements based on light level to control the iris shutter speed, exposure control and white balance.
