Digital/digitalization/digitized
process of converting video or audio signals, normally in waveform, into 1's and 0's. This digital format (actually patterns of on's/high-voltage (1's) and off's/low voltage (0's) rather than digits) can be processed by a computer.

Digit
A measure of the display span of a panel meter. By convention, a full digit can assume any value from 0 through 9, a 1/2-digit will display a 1 and overload at 2, a 3/4-digit will display digits up to 3 and overload at 4, etc. For example, a meter with a display span of ±3999 counts is said to be a 3-3/4 digit meter.
