Zeilenauflösung: 625 Lines, 576 visible lines. Describes the way the video information
(brightness, colour, refresh rate etc.) is transmitted.

®
contained in the stereo track of Dolby Surround encoded programs (e.g. VHS movies or TV
shows). Dolby Surround is a matrix coding system mixing four channels (left, center, right,

playback. Without Pro Logic decoder, the program only has stereo sound

Progressive Scan writes a whole picture in one step, while the normal interlaced TV-picture
is composed of two half pictures. It delivers a significally enhanced picture, especially when
used on vide beamers, PC monitors or LCD TV.
RGB
Red Green Blue. Describes the way of transmission and display of video signals. The three
in TV systems used colours red, green and blue are transmitted separately. When used for
connection between playback device and TV set, it delivers a quality similar to
YUV.
S/PDIF

S/PDIF can transmit audio files from one source to another without having to leave the digital
transmission which would result in worse quality.

information are transmitted separately. S-Video interface can easily be identified by its 4-
ports in a round connector.
SECAM
French TV standard. It is also used outside France in some Easter European countries.
Refresh rate is the same as in PAL standard (50 Hz). The signal produces 625 TV lines.
