Hardware
triangle setup:
A 100% hardware triangle setup engine
means that polygons may be directly rendered
by the 3D graphics processor without the PC having to recalculate the polygons.
Since the graphics chip deals with this task directly,
overall performance is increased.
HDTV
(High Definition TeleVision):
All but one of the proposed HDTV systems uses
a digital rather than an analog format. The advantage of digital signal transmission
is the production of pictures of movie theater quality, free of the snow and
ghosts that degrade conventional broadcasts. Images possess a lifelike quality,
as yet unseen in television broadcasts. The picture quality is accompanied by
a sound quality matching that of a compact disc. Digital transmission also offers
the potential for creating easier interfaces and interference-free interaction
with other media such as cable, satellite, fiber and computers.
Hidden Surface
Removal (HSR):
A process which consists
of suppressing any surfaces which will not be displayed on screen.
