Glossary

Analog audio
An electrical signal that directly represents
sound. Compare this to digital audio which
can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect
representation of sound. See also "Digital
audio".
Aspect ratio
The width of a TV screen relative to its
height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other
words, the screen is almost square); wide-
screen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost
twice as wide as it is high).
Digital audio
An indirect representation of sound by num-
bers. During recording, the sound is measured
at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second
for CD audio) by an analog-to-digital con-
verter, generating a stream of numbers.
On playback, a digital-to-analog converter
generates an analog signal based on these
numbers. See also "Sampling frequency" and
"Analog audio".
