The signals of (R-Y) and (B-Y) without the luminance (-Y) signal.
Color Difference (CD)
The Green signals (G-Y) can be extracted by these two signals.
Composite Video Signal (CVS/CVBS)
Signal that carries video picture information for color, brightness
and synchronizing signals for both horizontal and vertical scans.
Sometimes referred to as "Baseband Video".

Dynamic Link Library. A set of functions that are linked to the
DLL
referencing program at the time it is loaded into memory.
Direct Memory Access. A method by which a device may read or
DMA
write to memory directly without processor intervention. DMA is
typically used by block I/O devices.

Dynamic Random Access Memory. A memory technology that is
DRAM
characterized by extreme high density, low power, and low cost. It
must be more or less continuously refreshed to avoid loss of data.
Data Terminal Equipment.
DTE
Error Correction Code
ECC
Extended Capability Port
ECP
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. A
EEPROM
memory storage device that can be written repeatedly with no
special erasure fixture. EEPROMs do not lose their contents when
they are powered down.
Extended Industry Standard Architecture (bus) (IBM). An
EISA (bus)
architectural system using a 32-bit bus that allows data to be
transferred between peripherals in 32-bit chunks instead of 16-bit
or 8-bit that most systems use. With the transfer of larger bits of
information, the machine is able to perform much faster than the
standard ISA bus system.
