DEFINITIONS
AES: (Audio Engineering Society): A professional organization that recommends standards for the
audio industries.
AES/EBU: Informal name for a digital audio standard established jointly by the Audio Engineering
Society and the European Broadcasting Union organizations.
ANALOG: An adjective describing any signal that varies continuously as opposed to a digital signal
that contains discrete levels representing digits 0 and 1.
A-TO D CONVERTER (ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL):
analog signal into a digital representation of that signal.
BIT:
A binary representation of 0 or 1. One of the quantized levels of a pixel.
BIT PARALLEL:
each pair of wires carries a single bit. This standard is covered under SMPTE 125M, EBU
3267-E and CCIR 656.
BIT SERIAL: Bit-wise transmission of digital video down a single conductor such as coaxial cable.
May also be sent through fiber optics. This standard is covered under SMPTE 259M and
CCIR 656.
BIT STREAM: A continuous series of bits transmitted on a line.
BNC:
Abbreviation of "baby N connector".
systems.
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)
organization is now known as ITU.)
CCIR-601: (This document now known as ITU-R601). An international standard for component digital
television from which was derived SMPTE 125M and EBU 3246-E standards. CCIR-601
defines the sampling systems, matrix values and filter characteristics for both Y, B-Y, R-Y
and RGB component digital television signals.
CCIR-656: (This document now known as ITU-R656). The physical parallel and serial interconnect
scheme for CCIR-601. CCIR-656 defines the parallel connector pinouts as well as the
blanking, sync and multiplexing schemes used in both parallel and serial interfaces. It
reflects definitions found in EBU Tech 3267 (for 625 line systems) and SMPTE 125M
(parallel 525 line systems) and SMPTE 259M (serial 525 line systems).
