HDCP

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection is a
method of scrambling the HDMI video and audio
signals in an attempt to avoid copying of
copyrighted material.

Interlaced

An interlaced video system draws half of the picture
lines on the video display at a time. The
odd-numbered lines are displayed in one pass and
the even numbered lines in the next. The interlaced
format was developed as a means of reducing the
bandwidth required for television broadcasting, but
can result in visible artifacts in the picture
compared to Progressive video.

LCD

A Liquid Crystal Display is the familiar display as
found on laptop computers. These are most often
transmissive displays, where a white light source
behind the display element shines through colored
Pixels to create an image. This is one example of a
Fixed Pixel display.

LCOS

Liquid Crystal On Silicon places the LCD display
element directly on the silicon wafer that forms the
electronic control circuitry. A transmissive display
element cannot be used as the silicon is not
transparent. Instead, a reflective display element is
used. This is one example of a Fixed Pixel display.

Lossless Audio

Unlike commonplace Compressed Audio that sacrifices
sound quality in order to minimize storage
requirements, Lossless Audio only offers moderate
compression of the original PCM audio soundtrack,
but still allows bit-perfect reproduction. Also see
Dolby Digital and DTS.
