  • Page 72: Terms & Definitions

    6.2 Terms & Definitions The following terms and definitions are used throughout this guide. ● RCA： Connector used primarily in consumer AV equipment for both audio and video. The RCA connector was developed by the Radio Corporation of America. ● BNC: Stands for Bayonet Neill-Concelman. A cable connector used extensively in television (named for its inventors).
  • Page 73 alternated from line to line. It takes four full images (8 fields) for the colour-to-horizontalimages (8 fields) for the colour-to-horizontal phase relationship to return to the reference point. This alternation helps cancel out phase errors. For this reason, the hue control is not needed on a PAL TV set.
  • Page 74 ● RTMP: Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) was initially a proprietary protocol developed by Macromedia (now Adobe) for streaming audio, video and data over the Internet, between a Flash player and a server. ● RTSP : The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a network control protocol designed for use in entertainment and communications systems to control streaming media servers.
  • Page 75 regard to colour. Sometimes called black level. ● Contrast Ratio：The ratio of the high light output level divided by the low light output level. In theory, the contrast ratio of the television system should be at least 100:1, if not 300:1. In reality, there are several limitations.
  • Page 76 resolution. Scaling from one resolution to another is typically done to optimize the signal for input to an image processor, transmission path or to improve its quality when presented on a particular display. ● PIP: Picture-In-Picture. A small image within a larger image created by scaling down one of image to make it smaller.
