6.2 Terms & Definitions
The following terms and definitions are used throughout this guide.
“ASCII”: American Standard for Information Interchange. The standard code
consisting of 7-bit coded characters (8 bits including parity check) used to exchange
information between data processing systems, data communication systems, and
associated equipment. The ASCII set contains control characters and graphic
characters.
“Aspect ratio”: The relationship of the horizontal dimension to the vertical dimension
of an image. In viewing screens, standard TV is 4:3, or 1.33:1; HDTV is 16:9, or
1.78:1. Sometimes the “:1” is implicit, making TV = 1.33 and HDTV = 1.78.
“AV”: Audio visual, or audio video.
A “Background” is an unscaled source, typically originating from a computer. A
background source appears at the system’s lowest priority — visually in back of all
other sources.
“Baudrate”: Named of J.M.E. Baudot, the inventor of the Baudot telegraph code.
The number of the electrical oscillations per second, called baud rate. Related to,
but not the same as, transfer rate in bits per second (bps).
“Blackburst”: The video waveform without the video elements. It includes the
vertical sync, horizontal sync, and the chroma burst information. Blackburst is used
to synchronize video equipment to align the video output. One signal is normally
used to set up an entire video system or facility. Sometimes it is called House sync.
“BNC”: Bayonet Neill-Concelman. A cable connector used extensively in television
and named for its inventors. A cylindrical bayonet connector that operates with a
twist-locking motion. To make the connection, align the two curved grooves in the
collar of the male connector with the two projections on the outside of the female
collar, push, and twist. This allows the connector to lock into place without tools.
“Brightness”: Usually refers to the amount or intensity of video light produced on a
screen without regard to color. Sometimes called “black level.
“CAT 5”: Category 5. Describes the network cabling standard that consists of four
unshielded twisted pairs of copper wire terminated by RJ-45 connectors. CAT 5
cabling supports data rates up to 100 Mbps. CAT 5 is based on the EIA/TIA 568
Commercial Building Telecommunications Wiring Standard.
“Color bars”: A standard test pattern of several basic colors (white, yellow, cyan,
green, magenta, red, blue, and black) as a reference for system alignment and
testing. In NTSC video, the most commonly used color bars are the SMPTE
standard color bars. In PAL video, the most commonly used color bars are eight full
field bars. In the computer, the most commonly used color bars are two rows of
reversed color bars.
“Color burst”: In color TV systems, a burst of subcarrier frequency located on the
back porch of the composite video signal. This serves as a color synchronizing
signal to establish a frequency and phase reference for the chroma signal. Color
burst is 3.58 MHz for NTSC and 4.43 MHz for PAL.
“Color temperature”: The color quality, expressed in degrees Kelvin(K), of a light
source. The higher the color temperature, the bluer the light. The lower the
temperature, the redder the light. Benchmark color temperature for the A/V industry
include 5000°K, 6500°K, and 9000°K.
“Contrast ratio”: The radio of the high light output level divided by the low light
output level. In theory, the contrast radio of the television system should be at least
100:1, if not 300:1. In reality, there are several limitations. In the CRT, light from
adjacent elements contaminate the area of each element. Room ambient light will
contaminate the light emitted from the CRT. Well-controlled viewing conditions
should yield a practical contrast ratio of 30:1 to 50:1.
“DVI”: Digital Visual Interface. The digital video connectivity standard that was
developed by DDWG (Digital Display Work Group). This connection standard offers
two different connectors: one with 24 pins that handles digital video signals only, and
one with 29 pins that handles both digital and analog video.
“EDID”: Extended Display Identification Data – EDID is a data structure used to
communicate video display information, including native resolution and vertical
interval refresh rate requirements, to a source device. The source device will then
output the optimal video format for the display based on the provided EDID data,
ensuring proper video image quality. This communication takes place over the DDC
– Display Data Channel.
“Ethernet”: A Local Area Network (LAN) standard officially known as IEEE 802.3.
Ethernet and other LAN technologies are used for interconnecting computers,
printers, workstations, terminals, servers, etc. within the same building or campus.
Ethernet operates over twisted pair and over coaxial cable at speeds starting at
10Mbps. For LAN interconnectivity, Ethernet is physical link and data link protocol
reflecting the two lowest layers of the OSI Reference Model.
“Frame”: In interlaced video, a frame is one complete picture. A video frame is made
up of two fields, or two sets of interlaced lines. In a film, a frame is one still picture of
a series that makes up a motion picture.
“Gamma”: The light output of a CRT is not linear with respect to the voltage input.
The difference between what you should have and what is actually output is known
as gamma.
“HDMI” - High – Definition Multimedia Interface: An interface used primarily in
consumer electronics for the transmission of uncompressed high definition video, up
to 8 channels of audio, and control signals, over a single cable. HDMI is the de facto
standard for HDTV displays, Blu-ray Disc players, and other HDTV electronics.
Introduced in 2003, the HDMI specification has gone through several revisions.
“HDSDI”: The high-definition version of SDI specified in SMPTE-292M. This signal
standard transmits audio and video with 10 bit depth and 4:2:2 color quantization
over a single coaxial cable with a data rate of 1.485 Gbit/second. Multiple video
resolutions exists including progressive 1280x720 and interlaced 1920x1080
resolution. Up to 32 audio signals are carried in the ancillary data.
“JPEG” (Joint photographic Expects Group): Commonly used method of lossy
compression for photographic images using a discreet cosine transfer function. The
degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between
storage size and image quality. JPEG typically achieves 10:1 compression with little
perceptible loss in image quality. Produces blocking artifacts.
“MPEG”: Motion Picture Expect Group. A standard committee under the auspices of
the International Standards Organization working on algorithm standards that allow
digital compression, storage and transmission of moving image information such as
motion video, CD-quality audio, and control data at CD-ROM bandwidth. The MPEG
algorithm provides inter-frame compression of video images and can have an
effective compression rate of 100:1 to 200:1.
“NTSC”: The color video standard used in North America and some other parts of
the world created by the National Television Standards Committee in the 1950s. A
color signal must be compatible with black-and-white TV sets. NTSC utilizes an
interlaced video signals, 525 lines of resolution with a refresh rate of 60 fields per
second (60 Hz). Each frame is comprised of two fields of 262.5 lines each, running
at an effective rate of 30 frames per second.
“Operator”: Refers to the person who uses the system.
“PAL”: Phase Alternate Line. A television standard in which the phase of the color
carrier is alternated from line to line. It takes four full pictures (8 fields) for the
color-to-horizontal phase relationship to return to the reference point. This
alternation helps cancel out phase errors. For this reason, the hue control is not
needed on a PAL TV set. PAL, in many transmission forms, is widely used in
Western Europe, Australia, Africa, the Middle East, and Micronesia. PAL uses
625-line, 50-filed (25 fps) composite color transmission system.
“PIP”: Picture-in-Picture. A small picture within a larger picture created by scaling
down one of the images to make it smaller. Each picture requires a separate video
source such as a camera, VCR, or computer. Other forms of PIP displays include
Picture-by-Picture (PBP) and Picture-with-Picture (PWP), which are commonly used
with 16:9 aspect display devices. PBP and PWP image formats require a separate
scaler for each video window.
“Polarity”: The positive and negative orientation of a signal. Polarity usually refers to
the direction or a level with respect to a reference (e.g. positive sync polarity means
that sync occurs when the signal is going in the positive direction).
“RJ-45”: Registered Jack-45. A connector similar to a telephone connector that
holds up to eight wires, used for connecting Ethernet devices.
“RS-232”: An Electronic Industries Association (EIA) serial digital interface standard
specifying the characteristics of the communication path between two devices using
either DB-9 or DB-25 connectors. This standard is used for relatively short-range
communication and does not specify balanced control lines. RS-232 is a serial
control standard with a set number of conductors, data rate, word length, and type of
connector to be used. The standard specifies component connection standards with
regard to the computer interface. It is also called RS-232-C, which is the third
version of the RS-232 standard, and is functionally identical to the CCITT V.24
standard.
“Saturation”: Chroma, chroma gain. The intensity of the color, or the extent to which
a given color in any image is free from white. The less white in a color, the truer the
color or the greater its saturation. On a display device, the color control adjusts the
saturation. Not to be confused with the brightness, saturation is the amount of
pigment in a color, and not the intensity. Low saturation is like adding white to the
color. For example, a low-saturated red looks pink.
“Scaling”: A conversion of a video or computer graphic signal from a starting
resolution to a new resolution. Scaling from one resolution to another is typically
done to optimize the signal for input to an image processor, transmission path or to
improve its quality when presented on a particular display.
“SDI”: Serial Digital Interface. The standard based on a 270 Mbps transfer rate. This
is a 10-bit, scrambled, polarity independent interface with common scrambling for
both component ITU-R 601 and composite digital video and four channels of
(embedded) digital audio.
“Seamless Switching”: A feature found on many video switchers. This feature
causes the switcher to wait until the vertical interval to switch. This avoid a glitch
(temporary scrambling) which normally is seen when switching between sources.
“SMPTE”: Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. A global organization,
based in the United States, that sets standards for baseband visual communications.
This includes film as well as video and television standards.
“S-Video”: A composite video signal separated into the luma (“Y” is for luma, or
black and white information; brightness) and the chroma (“C” is an abbreviation for
chroma, or color information).
“Sync”: Synchronization. In video, sync is a means of controlling the timing of an
event with respect to other events. This is accomplished with timing pulses to insure
that each step in a process occurs at the correct time. For example, horizontal sync
determines exactly when to begin each horizontal scan line. Vertical sync
determines when the image is to be refreshed to start a new field or frame. There
are many other types of sync in video system.(Also known as “sync signal” or “sync
pulse.”)
“TCP/IP”: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The communication
protocol of the Internet. Computers and devices with direct access to the Internet are
provided with a copy of the TCP/IP program to allow them to send and receive
information in an understandable form.
“USB”: Universal Serial Bus. USB was developed by seven PC and telecom industry
leaders (Compaq, DEC, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NEC, and Northern Telecom). The
goal was easy plug-and-play expansion outside the box, requiring no additional
circuit cards. Up to 127 external computer devices may be added through a USB
hub, which may be conveniently located in a keyboard or monitor. USB devices can
be attached or detached without removing computer power. The number of devices
being designed for USB continues to grow, from keyboards, mice, and printers to
scanners, digital cameras, and ZIP drives.
“VESA”: Video Electronics Standards Association. A nonprofit number organization
dedicated to facilitating and promoting personal computer graphics through
improved standards for the benefit of the end-user. www.vesa.org
“VGA”: Video Graphics Array. Introduced by IBM in 1987, VGA is an analog signal
with TTL level separate horizontal and vertical sync. The video outputs to a 15-pin
HD connector and has a horizontal scan frequency of 31.5 kHz and vertical
frequency of 70 Hz (Mode 1, 2) and 60 Hz (Mode 3). The signal is non-interlaced in
modes 1, 2, and 3 and interlaced when using the 8514/A card (35.5 kHz, 86 Hz) in
mode 4. It has a pixel by line resolution of 640×480 with a color palette of 16 bits and
256,000 colors.
“YCrCb”: Used to describe the color space for interlaced component video.
“YPbPr”: Used to describe the color space for progressive-scan
(non-interlaced) component
