●Seamless Switching: A feature found on many video switchers. This feature causes
the switcher to wait until the vertical interval to switch. This avoids a glitch (temporary
scrambling) which often is seen when switching between sources.
●Scaling: A conversion of a video or computer graphic signal from a starting
resolution to a new 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. Other forms of PIP displays include Picture-By-
Picture (PBP) and Picture- With-Picture (PWP), which are commonly used with 16:9
aspect display devices. PBP and PWP image formats require a separate scaler for each
video window .
●HDR: is a high dynamic range (HDR) technique used in imaging and photography to
reproduce a greater dynamic range of luminosity than what is possible with
standard digital imaging or photographic techniques. The aim is to present a similar range
of luminance to that experienced through the human visual system.
●UHD: Standing for Ultra High Definition and comprising 4K and 8K television
standards with a 16:9 ratio, UHD follows the 2K HDTV standard. A UHD 4K display has a
physical resolution of 3840x2160 which is four times the area and twice both the width
and height of a HDTV/FullHD (1920 x1080) video signal.
●EDID: Extended Display Identification Data. EDID is a data structure used to
communicate video display information, including native resolution and vertical interval
refresh rate requirements, to a source device. The source device will then output the
provided EDID data, ensuring proper video image quality.
