Jitter

Jitter is quick fluctuations in a signal that result in distortion of video or audio output. Jitter in results in decreased picture quality or a slight shaking of the image on screen.

Jack Panel

The Jack Panel is the group of connection jacks, or plugs, on the back of audio/video components. Sometimes jacks will be on the side or front of a component. This is where the components are connected. On video components the jacks can include different types of video jacks (composite, component, S-video, DVI, HDMI, etc.) and audio jacks. The number and types of jacks that are on the component determine what you can connect to the component.
