BYTE:
A complete set of quantized levels containing all the bits. Bytes consisting of 8 to 10 bits
per sample are typical in digital video systems.
CABLE EQUALIZATION:
compensate for high frequency losses in coaxial cable.
CCIR:
(International Radio Consultative Committee)
committee. (This organization is now known as ITU.)
CCIR-601:
(This document now known as ITU-R601).
CCIR-656:
(This document now known as ITU-R656).
CLIFF EFFECT:
video systems that describes the sudden deterioration of picture quality due to excessive
bit errors, often caused by excessive cable lengths. The digital signal will be perfect
even though one of its signal parameters is approaching or passing the specified limits.
At a given moment however, the parameter will reach a point where the data can no
longer be interpreted correctly, and the picture will be totally unrecognizable.
COMPONENT ANALOG:The non-encoded output of a camera, video tape recorder, etc., consisting of
the three primary colour signals: red, green, and blue (RGB) that together convey all
necessary picture information.
components have been translated into a luminance signal and two colour difference
signals, for example Y, B-Y, R-Y.
COMPONENT DIGITAL: A digital representation of a component analog signal set, most often Y, B-Y,
R-Y. The encoding parameters are specified by CCIR-601. CCIR-656 and SMPTE
125M specify the parallel interface.
COMPOSITE ANALOG: An encoded video signal such as NTSC or PAL video, that includes
horizontal and vertical synchronizing information.
COMPOSITE DIGITAL: A digitally encoded video signal, such as NTSC or PAL video that includes
horizontal and vertical synchronizing information.
D1:
A component digital video recording format that uses data conforming to the CCIR-601
standard.

A composite digital video recording format that uses data conforming to SMPTE 244M.

D3:
A composite digital video recording format that uses data conforming to SMPTE 244M.
Records on 1/2" magnetic tape.
