The mathematical representation for a color. For example, color can be
described in terms of red, green, and blue; hue, saturation, and luma; or hue,
saturation, and intensity.
A type of color video transmission where synchronization, luma, and
chroma information are transmitted on one analog signal.
A constant multiplication factor applied to the luma and chroma
components of a color pixel in the color decoding process.
The process of eliminating color information in low-color situations (if the
saturation is lower than a predefined value).
Central processing unit.
Data acquisition. (1) Collecting and measuring electrical signals from
sensors, transducers, and test probes or fixtures and inputting them to a
computer for processing. (2) Collecting and measuring the same kinds of
electrical signals with A/D or DIO boards plugged into a computer, and
possibly generating control signals with D/A and/or DIO boards in the
same computer.
Decibel. The unit for expressing a logarithmic measure of the ratio of two
signal levels: dB = 20log
Direct current.
A default parameter value recorded in the driver; in many cases, the default
input of a control is a certain value (often 0) that means use the current
default setting.
Direct memory access. A method by which data can be transferred to and
from computer memory from and to a device or memory on the bus while
the processor does something else; DMA is the fastest method of
transferring data to/from computer memory.
Dynamic RAM.
V1/V2, for signals in volts.
