Caption notes
Band-limited signals can be reconstructed smoothly from samples. Oscilloscope demonstrations distinguish sampling from quantization and explain what dither changes.

it's only got a value right at each instantaneous sample pointthere's only one band limited signal that passes exactly through each sample pointdither is specially constructed noise that substitutes for the noise produced by simple quantizationthe signal is already band limited band limiting it again doesn't do anythinga sampled signal is entirely differentthe sampling step is perfect it loses nothing
