Over-the-air Broadcast (OTA) - Also called Terrestrial Broadcast. The delivery of TV and radio signals, using UHF/VHF frequencies, directly to consumer devices. Broadcasts may be either analog or digital.
ROM - Read only memory. Used for static information on computers.
Resolution - A measure of how closely packed the dots in a bitmapped image are, often expressed in dots per inch (dpi) or lines per inch (lpi). The higher the number, the higher the quality. However, doubling the resolution of an image results in a computer file four times as large, requiring more hard disk space and computer memory to handle the higher quality image. Resolution is also used to describe how close together a computer printer can print dots in an image. Again, the larger the number, the higher the quality. It is important to know the capability of the printer's resolution before scanning an image in order to get enough information to print the best quality.
