*Sky BOX officeHD is only available with a France telecom telephone line and PPV Digidialer. Jargon Buster! Aspect Ratio: The ratio of the width to height of a TV screen. The most popular are 4:3, which was the norm until the nineties, and 16:9 otherwise known as widescreen, which is more popular now and is the format used by HD. DLP: Digital Light Processor. A device that uses millions of little mirrors - one for each pixel - to create a projected image on a screen. Most of these devices are HD. Dolby Digital: Multi-channel digital audio surround sound format will accompany many of Sky's HD movies. High Definition (HD) Television: Generally described as TV with at least four times the amount of picture data as current digital and analogue TV systems, making the picture sharper, with more intense colours and a greater sense of depth. 'HD Ready': This is the all important label to look for if you are thinking about buying an HD TV. If a TV set carries the 'HD Ready' label, it will be compatible with Sky's HD broadcasts. Many new screens in the shops now sport 'HD Ready' labels. HDCP: High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection is a copyright protection system which ensures that content providers are happy to make their HD content available for viewing. HDCP is incorporated into Sky's HD box and 'HD Ready' sets in order to prevent unauthorised duplication and distribution of protected content. HDMI: High-Definition Multimedia Interface. Sometimes billed as the digital Scart, HDMI is a digital video connector that can conveniently transmit digital audio and video signals. LCD: A Liquid Crystal Display television uses liquid crystals that act as 'shutters' within the television screen. Some LCD screens are compatible with Sky's HD broadcasts. MPEG4: MPEG4 is an efficient means of compressing the data that is sent to a TV. It will be used by Sky for its HD service. Pixel: Picture and element condensed into one word. A pixel is a tiny sample of video information, the "little squares" that make up an overall picture. Plasma: A Plasma display uses hundreds of thousands of miniature, embedded cells to produce a picture. Some plasmas are compatible with HD broadcasts. Resolution: The higher the resolution, the more picture detail there is, the better the picture quality. 720p: One of the two main HD formats. 720p means that the resolution of the picture is 1,280 vertical pixels by 720 horizontal pixels. The 'p' stands for progressive scanning. Progressive scanning offers a smoother picture, as 720 horizontal lines are scanned progressively. 1080i: One of two HD formats. The resolution of the picture is 1,920 vertical pixels by 1,080 horizontal pixels and 'i' stands for interlaced scanning. Interlaced scanning is based on the principle that the screen shows every odd line at one scan of the screen and then all the even lines in a second scan.
