A special device used to capture a single frame of video to create a hard-copy print.
Industry:Software
Emitting or capable of emitting electrons upon exposure to radiation in and near the visible region of the spectrum.
Industry:Software
A physical button on the workstation that you press to reinitialize the processor and some other hardware without removing power to the workstation. You should never press this button while IRIX is running, unless all attempts to shut down the system using software fail. See also Shut Down.
Industry:Software
A proprietary audio compression algorithm from Scientific-Atlanta, used for satellite links.

a) For animation, many 3D systems fix the viewer’s location at a specified distance from the viewing screen. Currently, PictureMaker is one of these. In such systems, the database is moved relative to the viewer.
The set of motions that accomplish any particular view of the world is called its “orientation.” Using the three coordinate axes as references, we can translate (shuffle on a plane) and rotate objects to create new views.
During animation, we change the amounts of these motions. A set of numbers describes orientation: x-trans, y-trans, z-trans, x-rot, y-rot, z-rot. b) A direction of presentation affecting resolution requirements. Horizontal lines become vertical lines when their orientation is rotated by 90 degrees; a pattern of dots appearing to be in horizontal and vertical rows may not appear to be diagonally aligned when its orientation is rotated 45 degrees due to characteristics of the human visual system.
Industry:Software
A generic term for one of the elementary streams or other data streams that may be included in the program.
Industry:Software
The recording of a digital data stream onto a single recording track. With multitrack recorders, multiple streams can be recorded as long as each stream is recorded on a separate track. There is no requirements that multiple streams have a common synchronous clock nor is it required that the multiple streams be the same recording code.
Industry:Software
The standard operating system software and tools that come on the system disk and on the tape or DC-ROM that you use in the event of a system crash.
Industry:Software
A device that stabilizes the composite video signal, regenerates the synchronizing pulses, and can make other adjustments to the video signal.
