High-Definition Multimedia Interface
analog signal
signal where the time-varying feature is an analogous representation of some other time-varying quantity
mathematical interpolation
In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, interpolation is a type of estimation, a method of constructing (finding) new data points based on the range of a discrete set of known data points.
display resolution
number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed
NTSC
NTSC (an acronym of National Television System Committee) was the first American standard for analog television, published and adopted in 1941. It was one of three major color formats for analog television; the others were PAL and SECAM. NTSC color was usually associated with System M, and this combination was sometimes called NTSC II. A second NTSC standard was adopted in 1953, which allowed color television compatible with the existing stock of black-and-white sets. The EIA defined NTSC performance standards in EIS-170 (also known as RS-170) in 1957.

SECAM
SECAM, also written SÉCAM (, Système Électronique Couleur Avec Mémoire, French for electronic colour system with memory), is an analogue colour television system that was used in France, Russia, and some other countries or territories of Europe and Africa. It was one of three major analog colour television standards, the others being PAL and NTSC. Similar to PAL, a SECAM picture is made up of 625 interlaced lines and displayed at a rate of 25 frames per second (except SECAM-M). However, because of how SECAM processes colour information, it is not compatible with the PAL video format standard.

S-Video
S-Video (also known as separate video, Y/C, and super video) is an analog video signal format that carries standard-definition video, typically at 525 or 625-line resolution. It encodes video luma and chrominance on two separate channels, achieving higher image quality than composite video, which encodes all video information on one channel. It also eliminates several types of visual defects, such as dot crawl, which commonly occur with composite video. Although it is improved over composite video, S-Video has lower color resolution than component video, which is encoded over three channels.
composite video
analog video signal format, characterised in that the complete video signal information is transferred over one coaxial cable
component video
video signal that has been split into two or more component channels
rasterisation

digital video
type of digital recording system that works by using a digital rather than an analog video signal
16K resolution
video or display resolutions with a width of around 16,000 pixels
YPbPr

scan line
single horizontal line within a raster (particularly CRT) image
display size
physical size of the area where pictures and videos are displayed
General Purpose Media Interface
General Purpose Media Interface (GPMI) is an upcoming standard for an audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed video data and compressed or uncompressed digital audio data from a source device, such as a display controller, to a computer monitor, video projector, digital television, or digital audio. GPMI is intended to be a successor to HDMI but developed by Chinese companies.
