A new television standard that uses digital signals rather than the current analog standard. 1, record 5, English, - HDTV
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT
HDTV signals contain over 700 lines of resolution compared to the 525 lines of resolution that analog provides. HDTV also has a wider width to height of the screen for a true theater-like experience. The images are digitized and compressed before signal transmission to enable the tremendous quantity of information to pass through easily. The signals are then decompressed when they reach the television. The result is a clear, crisp picture that transcends any other picture formats. 1, record 5, English, - HDTV

HDTV is not yet a fully designed standard. There are currently many different "standards" available for broadcasters to choose from. Currently, no programming is available in HDTV, and it is not expected to begin in volume in Canada for quite some time. While we will be supporting HDTV, it is still too soon for specific information to be available. The Digital Cable Terminal is designed to pass high bandwidth HDTV data to a customer owned HDTV decoder, which then will feed a 16 : 9 HDTV ready monitor with RGB(Red-Green-Blue). 1, record 16, English, - HDTV%20decoder

Component Video Interconnects. Inputs 1 and 2 of the SD-641-HD5 have a 3rd type of input connection called a Component Connection(also found on better DVD players and HDTV set top boxes). This consists of 3 pin-type, or "RCA" jacks, and gives the best high resolution picture(it does this by transmitting the black and white information on one wire labeled Y, the difference between the black and white and red information on a second wire Yr, and the difference between the black and white and blue information on a third independent wire labeled Yb). HDTV monitors such as the SD-641-HD5 can accept signals from HDTV tuners and display 1080I HDTV images when using these component inputs, which can detect and display either HDTV from an HDTV tuner or NTSC signals from the component outputs of a DVD player. 2, record 18, English, - component%20connexion
