Over scan - The area at the edges of a television tube that is covered to hide
possible video distortion. Overscan typically covers about 4 or 5 percent at the
edges of the picture but can cover as much as 10 percent.
PAL - Phase Alternate Line. A video standard used in Europe and other parts of
the world for composite color encoding. Various version of PAL use different
scanning systems and color subcarrier frequencies (identified with letters B, D, G,
H, I, M, and N), the most common being 625 lines at 50 fields per second
Pan & scan - The technique of reframing a picture to conform to a different aspect
ratio by cropping parts of the picture. DVD-Video players can automatically
create a 4:3 pan & scan version from widescreen video by using a horizontal offset
encoded with the video.
PCM - An uncompressed, digitally coded representation of an analog signal. The
waveform is sampled at regular intervals and a series of pulses in coded form
(usually quantized) are generated to represent the amplitude.
Random access - The ability to jump to a point on a storage medium.
Resolution - 1) A measurement of relative detail of a digital display, typically
given in pixels of width and height; 2) the ability of an imaging system to make
clearly distinguishable or resolvable the details of an image. This includes spatial
resolution (the clarity of a single image), temporal resolution (the clarity of a
moving image or moving object), and perceived resolution (the apparent
resolution of a display from the observer's point of view). Analog video is often
measured as a number of lines of horizontal resolution over the number of scan
lines. Digital video is typically measured as a number of horizontal pixels by
vertical pixels.
RGB - Video information in the form of red, green, and blue tristimulus values.
The combination of three values representing the intensity of each of the three
colors
Scaling - Altering the spatial resolution of a single image to increase or reduce the
size; or altering the temporal resolution of an image sequence to increase or
decrease the rate of display. Techniques include decimation, interpolation, motion
compensation, replication, resampling, and subsampling. Most scaling methods
introduce artifacts.
