I seek your comments regarding the following glossary entries (that have been reformatted to fit email). Kindly take your time.

-Mark.

DAR (display aspect ratio [1]) [noun]: 1, … as a minimized, H:V, integer ratio (e.g.
  16:9, 4:3)…
(and similar wording for PAR and SAR):


Is the term "minimized aspect ratio" already used in this domain? If not, then the related mathematics term "reduced fraction" may be a better inspiration than "minimized". See <https://mathworld.wolfram.com/ReducedFraction.html>. "Reduced aspect ratio"? "Ratio where the two numbers have a greatest common divisor of 1"?

Also,


SAR [noun]:…
  [2] A standardized set of picture sizes & aspects has been
      established:
                 display     DAR     picture     PAR    SAR = DAR/PAR
    16:9-2160: 3840 x 2160  16:9 : 3840 x 2160  16:9 :  1:1
     4:3-2160: 2880 x 2160   4:3 : 2880 x 2160   4:3 :  1:1
    16:9-1080: 1920 x 1080  16:9 : 1920 x 1080  16:9 :  1:1
     4:3-1080: 1440 x 1080   4:3 : 1440 x 1080   4:3 :  1:1
     16:9-576: 1024 x 576   16:9 :  720 x 576    5:4 : 64:45
      4:3-576:  768 x 576    4:3 :  720 x 576    5:4 : 16:15
     16:9-480:  853 x 480   16:9 :  720 x 480    3:2 : 32:27
      4:3-480:  640 x 480    4:3 :  720 x 480    3:2 :  8:9  [3]


The formatting of the email garbles the table [2] enough that I can't be sure what I'm reading. Maybe insert printable delimiters into each line?
