Explanation of Terms

Aspect ratio
The TV screen's width to height ratio is referred to as its
aspect ratio. The aspect ratio on standard TVs is 4:3 and
on wide TVs or High Definition TVs it is 16:9.
S jack (S VIDEO jack)
This jack separates and transmits the video signal as two
signals; the luminance (Y) signal and the color(C) signal.
Because of this, picture reproduction is superior to that
obtained at the composite input/output jacks.
S-video signal
The video signal is composed of two signals; the chroma
signal (color signal) which reproduces color and the
luminance signal which reproduces light and darkness.
With standard video components, these two signals are
combined into one and are handled as a video signal
referred to as the "composite signal". The S-video signal,
however, is a signal that handles these two signals
separately. Because they are not combined as in the
composite video signal, the high quality of both signals
can be retained.
Component video signal
General term for video signal format composed of the
Y.C .C , Y.P .P and Y.B-Y.R-Y luminance signal + color
B R B R
signal.
The component video signal is sometimes simply called
the "color difference signal".
G ON SYNC
This indicates a video signal in the form of a
synchronization signal added to the G (GREEN) signal of
the R.G.B signal.
VGA
VGA is short for "Video Graphics Array".
Generally this indicates a 640 dot x 480 line resolution.
XGA
General term for "eXtended Graphics Array".
Generally this indicates a 1024 dot x 768 line resolution.
