7.2 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,
M1 User Manual
61
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
M1 User Manual
62
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
video.
