a) A vector is a directed edge. That is, given points A and B, the line that connects A and B becomes a vector if we specify its direction (i.e., which point is the start point). The vector that goes from A to B is not the same vector as the one that goes from B to A. Vectors exist in 3D; they connect points in 3D space. b) An entity that possesses the attributes of a norm and a direction. It can be defined in 3D space by two points, one representing the origin and the other, the extremity. c) A motion compensation parameter that tells a decoder how to shift part of a previous picture to more closely approximate the current picture.
Industry:Software
The process of altering one or more pattern parameters. See Modifier.
Industry:Software
Term used for an ATV scheme that allows existing NTSC television sets to tune into the ATV signal and get pictures and sounds; also used to describe an MIT ATV scheme using blanking adjustment for aspect ratio accommodation and using various sub-channels to carry additional information but requiring a very complex receiver to recover that information. It is said to offer 600 lines of vertical and 660 lines of horizontal static luminance resolution, with reduced static diagonal resolution and with dynamic resolution comparable to NTSC. The term Receiver Compatibility, as it is usually used, allows some degradation in pictures from the highest NTSC quality, in the same way that the receiver-compatible NTSC color system introduced cross-luminance to existing black-and white TV sets.
Industry:Software
Technology of less complexity than medium scale integration. Usually means less than ten gate functions in the IC.
Industry:Software
The management of multiple signals on one channel by alternately sending portions of each signal and assigning each portion to particular blocks of time.
Industry:Software
a) The length of the path along which tape and head are in intimate physical contact. b) A term used to signify the session (job) is finished.
Industry:Software
The number of frames (or seconds and frames) between the cue point and the edit point which allows ACE to synchronize transports prior to an edit.
Industry:Software
The process of breaking down an image into a series of elements or groups of elements representing light values and transmitting this information in time sequence.
Industry:Software
Small, projecting imperfections on the surface of the coating that limit and cause variations in head-to-tape contact. A term useful in discussions of friction and modulation noise.
