Page 52: Glossary
52 Appendix A: Glossary Glossary • Bandwidth A term describing the capacity to transfer data. Greater bandwidth is needed to sustain a higher transfer rate. Greater bandwidth can be achieved, for example, by using a wider bus or by increasing the clock frequency at which an interface or a core operates (for example, increasing the DDR3 SDRAM clock frequency). - Page 53 Double Data Rate Type Three Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory. A type of memory used for image capture and processing. SDRAM allows Matrox Radient Pro CL to access data at a very high speed, which is important for I/O-bound functions. This type of memory allows for very high density at low prices, and is very efficient as long as the data is accessed contiguously.
- Page 54 54 Appendix A: Glossary • Grab To acquire an image from a video source. • Horizontal blanking period The portion of a video signal after the end of a line and before the beginning of a new line. During this period, the video signal is "blank". See also vertical blanking period.
- Page 55 • SRAM QDRII Static Random Access Memory Quad Data Rate II. A type of memory used for processing. SRAM allows Matrox RadientPro CL to access data at a very high speed, in a random or contiguous manner. The memory interface is actually double data-rate, but is tagged quad data-rate because it has independent read and write ports.
