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

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".

Excellent! I'll go for it.

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

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?

Hmmm... It's a table: rows and columns, like a spread sheet. Does making the column headers more obvious work better?

              display     DAR       picture     PAR      SAR = DAR/PAR
            ===========  ====     ===========  ====     =====

 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]

Or is it the column centering that doesn't work?
