Define the following Abbreviations

1. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) - is a trademark and brand name for a digital interface
used to transmit audio and video data in a single cable. It is supported by modern audio/video
equipment, such as 4K televisions, HDTVs, audio receivers, DVD and Blu-ray players, cable boxes,
and video game consoles.

2. DVI (Digital Video Interface) - is a video connection standard created by the Digital Display
Working Group (DDWG). Most DVI ports support both analog and digital displays. If the display is
analog, the DVI connection converts the digital signal to an analog signal. If the display is digital, no
conversion is necessary. Most DVI ports support both analog and digital displays. If the display is
analog, the DVI connection converts the digital signal to an analog signal. If the display is digital, no
conversion is necessary.

3. VGA (Video Graphics Array) - is the standard monitor or display interface used in most PCs.
Therefore, if a monitor is VGA-compatible, it should work with most new computers. The VGA
standard was originally developed by IBM in 1987 and allowed for a display resolution of 640x480
pixels. Since then, many revisions of the standard have been introduced. The most common is Super
VGA (SVGA), which allows for resolutions greater than 640x480, such as 800x600 or 1024x768. A
standard VGA connection has 15 pins and is shaped like a trapezoid.

4. AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) - is a type of expansion slot designed specifically for graphics
cards. It was developed in 1996 as an alternative to the PCI standard. Since the AGP interface
provides a dedicated bus for graphics data, AGP cards are able to render graphics faster than
comparable PCI graphics cards.

5. PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) - is a hardware bus used for adding internal components
to a desktop computer. For example, a PCI card can be inserted into a PCI slot on a motherboard,
providing additional I/O ports on the back of a computer.

6. PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) - does not use a parallel bus structure, but
instead is a network of serial connections controlled by a hub on the computer's motherboard. This
enables PCI Express cards to run significantly faster than previous PCI cards.

7. LAN (Local Area Network) - is pronounced "lan." A LAN is a network of connected devices that
exist within a specific location. LANs may be found in homes, offices, educational institution, or other
areas.

8. Modem (Modulator-Demodulator) - is a hardware component that allows a computer or another

device, such as a router or switch, to connect to the Internet. It converts or "modulates" an analog
signal from a telephone or cable wire to digital data (1s and 0s) that a computer can recognize.
Similarly, it converts digital data from a computer or other device into an analog signal that can be
sent over standard telephone lines.

9. SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) - is a digital audio transmission standard for transferring
audio between two devices. It is uni-directional (one-way) and supports uncompressed stereo audio
and compressed surround sound audio.

10. GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) - is a processor designed to handle graphics operations. This
includes both 2D and 3D calculations, though GPUs primarily excel at rendering 3D graphics.
11. DVR (Digital Video Recorder) - is basically a VCR that uses a hard drive instead of video tapes. It
can be used to record, save, and play back television programs. Unlike a VCR, however, a DVR can
also pause live TV by recording the current show in real time. The user can choose to fast forward
(often during commercials) to return to live television.

12. PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association Card or 'Printed Circuit
board Card) - is a credit card sized card which can be used to expand the available memory or
storage space in a digital device such as a computer. When talking about photography PC Cards
could be used in a number of ways.

13. WIFI (Wireless Fidelity) - is a wireless networking technology that allows devices such as
computers (laptops and desktops), mobile devices (smart phones and wearables), and other
equipment (printers and video cameras) to interface with the Internet. It allows these devices--and
many more--to exchange information with one another, creating a network. Internet connectivity
occurs through a wireless router. When you access Wi-Fi, you are connecting to a wireless router that
allows your Wi-Fi-compatible devices to interface with the Internet.

14. USB (Universal Serial Bus) - is the most common type of computer port used in today's
computers. It can be used to connect keyboards, mice, game controllers, printers, scanners, digital
cameras, and removable media drives, just to name a few. With the help of a few USB hubs, you can
connect up to 127 peripherals to a single USB port and use them all at once (though that would
require quite a bit of dexterity).

15. DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) - is a type of optical media used for storing digital data. It is the same
size as a CD, but has a larger storage capacity. Some DVDs are formatted specifically for video
playback, while others may contain different types of data, such as software programs and computer
files.
