Tekstvak: (1) compressie :
DCT : Discrete Cosine Transform
MPEG-2 : Moving Picture Experts Group 

(2) HDV :
de HDV standaard is nog volop in beweging, m.a.w. de HDV vlag lading dekt niet altijd dezelfde lading (de twee die zich momenteel het meest doorzetten zijn :
   720P (720 lijnen / progressive scan)
   1080i (7020 lijnen / interlaced)
