EDTV
Extended (or Enhanced) Definition Television. A television system that offers
picture quality substantially improved over conventional 525-line or 625-line
receivers, by employing techniques at the transmitter and at the receiver
that are transparent to (and cause no visible quality degradation to) existing
525-line or 625-line receivers. One example of EDTV is the improved separation
of luminance and colour components by pre-combing the signals prior to
transmission.
Entropy
Entropy, the average amount of information represented by a symbol in a
message, is a function of the model used to produce that message and can be
reduced by increasing the complexity of the model so that it better reflects
the actual distribution of source symbols in the original message.
Entropy is a measure of the information contained in message, it's the
lower bound for compression.
