PAL (Phase Alternation, Line): Color video standard pioneered in Europe but also used in many other parts of the world. PAL uses 625 scanning lines per picture, 25 pictures (frames) per second, each frame is made up of two sequential fields containing respectively the odd and the even lines (interlace).

Partial Enhance: An advanced function of the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology that allows a particular color to be selected and its hue, saturation and detail altered. This function gives the subject a pleasing complexion with a softer image while maintaining the sharpness of other areas, and vice versa. The designated active area of partial enhance can be set with the digital circuits by simply adjusting the Area Detect Cursor.

Pixel: Picture element.

PowerHAD: PowerHAD is further improvement of the Hyper HAD CCD technology, where the microscopic lenses focus more light onto the light sensors thus increased sensitivity and reduced smear.

Progressive Scan: CCD design that allows the acquisition of both odd and even fields at the same time. Progressive scan makes full vertical resolution possible in Donpisha mode.
