Default dimensions for development on TV

Currently the official design website indicates 5 types of screen densities.

These densities range from MDPI- XXHPDI.

I have also read in parts on the reference that there is also another identifier TVDPI

Does someone know the ratio difference between the the former and the latter?

Referenced link from the accepted anwser indicates the following regadring TVDPI:

Resources for screens somewhere between mdpi and hdpi; approximately 213dpi. This is not considered a "primary" density group. It is mostly intended for televisions and most apps shouldn't need it—providing mdpi and hdpi resources is sufficient for most apps and the system will scale them as appropriate. If you find it necessary to provide tvdpi resources, you should size them at a factor of 1.33*mdpi. For example, a 100px x 100px image for mdpi screens should be 133px x 133px for tvdpi.

1 mdpi relates to 1.33 times tvdpi. Go here for more information.

From the docs:

If you find it necessary to provide tvdpi resources, you should size them at a factor of 1.33 times mdpi. For example, a 100px x 100px image for mdpi screens should be 133px x 133px for tvdpi.
