Chapter 6: Appendi× 6.5 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 e×change information between data processing systems, data communication systems, and associated equipment. The ASCII set contains control characters and graphic characters.
Chapter 6: Appendi× X2 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.
Chapter 6: Appendi× “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.
Chapter 6: Appendi× “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.
Chapter 6: Appendi× “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.
