1080i

1080i is the shorthand name for a format of high-definition video modes. 1080 denotes the number of horizontal scan lines—also known as vertical resolution—and the letter i stands for interlaced. In the alternate format of high-definition video mode, known as 1080p, the p would stand for progressive scan.^[1][2]

1080p

1080p is the shorthand name for a category of HDTV video modes. The number 1080 represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution (1,080 horizontal scan lines),^[1] while the letter p stands for progressive scan (meaning the image is not interlaced). 1080p can be referred to as full HD or full high definition although 1080i is also "Full HD" (1920x1080 pixels). The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels. This creates a frame resolution of 1920×1080, or 2,073,600 pixels in total. The frame rate in hertz can be either implied by the context or specified after the letter p (or i), such as 1080p30, meaning 30 Hz.^[2]

480i

480i is the shorthand name for a video mode, namely the US NTSC television system or digital television systems with the same characteristics. The i, which is sometimes uppercase, stands for interlaced, the 480 for a vertical frame resolution of 480 lines containing picture information; while NTSC has a total of 525 lines, only 480 of these are used to display the image for DV-NTSC. For analog NTSC there are 486 lines, and two of those 486 being half-lines (scan line number 263 which appears as the last scan line in the first (odd) field, and scan line number 283 which is the first scan line of the second (even) field; there are 525 scan lines in a frame, and the scan line numbering starts at 1). For DV-NTSC only 480 lines are used. The digitally transmitted horizontal resolution is usually 720 samples (which includes 16 samples for the horizontal sync and horizontal blanking) or 704 visible pixels with an aspect ratio of 4:3 and therefore a display resolution of 640 × 480 (VGA); that is standard-definition television (SDTV) with a 4:3 aspect ratio. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

480p

480p is the shorthand name for a video display resolution. The p stands for progressive scan, i.e. non-interlaced. The 480 denotes a vertical resolution of 480 vertically scanning lines, usually with a horizontal resolution of 640 pixels and 4:3 aspect ratio or a horizontal resolution of less than 854 pixels for an approximate 16:9 aspect ratio. (480 x ¹⁶⁄₉ = 853.333…. Since a pixel must be a whole number, in Wide VGA displays it is generally rounded up to 854 to insure inclusion of the entire image.) The frame rate (hertz) is usually 30 or 60 progressive frames per second and can be given explicitly after the letter p. The frames are displayed progressively as opposed to interlaced. 480p was used for many early Plasma televisions.^[1][2]

4DTV

4DTV is the name of the digital TVRO communications satellite receiver technology manufactured by Motorola for use with large-diameter parabolic dish antennas on the C and K_u frequency bands.

576i

576i is a standard-definition video mode used in (former) PAL and SECAM countries. In digital applications it is usually referred to as "576i", in analogue contexts it is often quoted as "625 lines".^[1]

576p

576p is the shorthand name for a video display resolution. The p stands for progressive scan, i.e. non-interlaced, the 576 for a vertical resolution of 576 lines, usually with a horizontal resolution of 720 or 704 pixels. The frame rate can be given explicitly after the letter.^[1]

The New Zealand version of the show has also featured segments of the Australian version.

720p

720p is the shorthand name for a category of HDTV video modes. The number 720 stands for the 720 horizontal scan lines of display resolution (also known as 720 pixels of vertical resolution), while the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. When broadcast at 60^[1] frames per second, 720p features the highest temporal (motion) resolution possible under the ATSC standard. Progressive scanning reduces the need to prevent flicker by filtering out fine details, so sharpness is much closer to 1080i than the number of scan lines would suggest.^[2][3]

8VSB

In the ATSC digital television standard, used primarily in North America, 8VSB is the modulation method used for broadcast; that is, it specifies how the radio signal fluctuates to convey information. By comparison, QAM is the modulation method used for cable. The specifications for a cable-ready television, then, might state that it supports 8VSB (for broadcast TV) and QAM (for cable TV).

A-VSB

A-VSB or Advanced VSB is a modification of the 8VSB modulation system used for transmission of digital television using the ATSC system. One of the constraints of conventional ATSC transmission is that reliable reception is difficult or impossible when the receiver is moving at speeds associated with normal vehicular traffic. The technology was jointly developed by Samsung and Rohde & Schwarz.

It has been used by television broadcasters to enable both 4:3 and 16:9 television sets to optimally present pictures transmitted in either format. It has also been used by broadcasters to dynamically control how down-conversion equipment formats widescreen 16:9 pictures for 4:3 displays.

American Broadcasting Company logos

One of the earliest logos for the ABC television network was a microphone with the letters "ABC" aligned vertically within in it in capital letters (the then-current logo for the ABC radio network), and the letters T and V on either side of the microphone with an announcer saying "This is ABC, the American Broadcasting Company". (It is doubtful if the logo was used on the air, since ABC television began in 1948.) In 1948, the network was using a logo consisting of a map of the United States with the words "American Broadcasting Company" superimposed, and also used a logo designed to look like a camera lens with the capital letters "ABC" within it (this could be considered a precursor to today's "ABC Circle" logo).
