Glossary
RGB signals:These are 3 Red, Green and Blue video signals which directly drive the red, green and blue
emitters in the cathode ray tube. Using these signals provides better picture quality.
NICAM sound:Process by which digital sound can be transmitted.
System:Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries.There are different
standards : BG, DK, I, and L LO.This is not to be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. Pal is
used in most countries in Europe, Secam in France, Russia and most African countries. The United
States and Japan use a different system called NTSC.
100Hz:Conventional televisions (50 Hz) produce a visible image flicker.Thanks to 100 Hz technology,the
scanning frequency is doubled. It is visually more comfortable and the flickering effect is reduced.
16:9:Refers to the length / height of the screen.Wide screen televisions have a ratio of 16/9 and
conventional TV sets have a ratio of 4/3.
