Abbreviation/Term
Definition
Intel WIDI
Wireless Display (WiDi) technology, developed by Intel, enables
users to stream music, movies, photos, videos and apps
wirelessly from a compatible computer to a compatible HDTV
or through the use of an adapter with other HDTVs. Intel WiDi
supports HD 1080p video quality, 5.1 surround sound, and low
latency for interacting with applications that are sent to the TV
from a PC.
IP Address
Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a unique number
consisting of 4 parts separated by dots, e.g. 165.113.245.3
Every machine that is on the Internet has a unique IP number.
LAN
Local Area Network;A network of interconnected workstations
sharing the resources of a single processor or server within a
relatively small geographic area. Typically, this might be within
the area of a small office building.
MAC Address
Media Access Control Address; A MAC address is a hardware
identification number that uniquely identifies each device on a
network. The MAC address is manufactured into every network
card, such as an Ethernet card or WiFi card, and therefore
cannot be changed.
mDNS
Multicast Domain Name System; resolves host names to
IP addresses within small networks that do not include a
local name server. It is a zero configuration service, using
essentially the same programming interfaces, packet formats
and operating semantics as the unicast Domain Name System
(DNS). While it is designed to be stand-alone capable, it can
work in concert with unicast DNS servers.
Miracast
Miracast is a certification program of the WiFi Alliance based
on their WiFi-Display specification. It defines a protocol to
connect an external monitor or TV to a device, and therefore
can roughly be described as "HDMI over Wifi", replacing the
cable from the computer to the display.It is peer-to-peer, and
wireless, using a WiFi Direct connection.
Peer-to-peer (P2P)
In a P2P network, the "peers" are computer systems which are
connected to each other via the Internet. Files can be shared
directly between systems on the network without the need of
a central server.
PSK
phase shift keying;phase modulation that uses discrete changes
of phase.
RS-232
RS-232 is a standard for serial communication transmission
of data for computers; used for connections to computer
peripherals such as control systems.
RTP
Real-Time Transport Protocol;an end-to-end network-transport
protocol suitable for applications transmitting real-time data
(such as audio, video, or simulation data) over multicast or
unicast network services.
