Term Definition

Rabbit Ears A term that describes a V-shaped set-top antenna that is adjustable in length and angle.
RCA Connectors See Composite Video.
Rear Projection TV Set This is typically a much larger set than a standard CRT TV set. This set creates an image on a small display and then enlarges it onto the back of the screen. Old rear projection sets used a small CRT, while new digital projection sets use LCD, DLP (Digital Light Processing), or LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) to create brilliant, wide-angle pictures.
Resolution The amount of detail that can be seen in a broadcast image. For television, resolution is measured in horizontal lines displayed (commonly 480, 720, or 1080).
Rooftop Antenna An antenna mounted on the roof of a structure.
