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 advantages of digital signal transmission
include pictures of movie theater quality that are free of snow and ghosts that
degrade conventional broadcasts. Images possess a lifelike quality heretofore
unseen in television broadcasts. That picture quality is accompanied by sound
quality that matches a compact disc. Digital transmission also offers potential
for easier interfaces and interference-free interaction with other media such
as cable, satellite, fiber and computers.
Hidden Surface
Removal (HSR):
A process which consists
in suppressing the surfaces which will not be displayed on screen.
