Page 13: Glossary
Glossary AVI—A Windows video format. Bit rate—The bit rate indicates the volume of the data stream per second. A higher bit rate results in higher quality. A distinction is made between constant bit rates (e.g. for -> VCD) and variable bit rates, e.g. for -> SVCD and -> DVD. Unlike constant bit rates, variable bit rates ad- just the size of the data stream according to the video material. - Page 14 DirectDraw—DirectDraw is a graphics standard initiated by Microsoft. Its features include the capability to write graphics data directly to the memory of the graphics board for the fluid display of video material. Dropped frames—These are individual images missing from the video data stream, usually due to a slow hard drive.

The sys- tem supports transfer rates of up to 400 Mbps. However, a standard has not been established for video data due to the lack of specifications for the format of video data using this bus.
- Page 16 NTSC—NTSC is a video standard used in the USA and Japan. NTSC has a higher frame rate than PAL (30 frames or 60 -> fields per second), but a lower resolution (525 rows, with 480 visible). Color depiction in NTSC is realized in -> YIQ. PAL—This is the most common video standard in Europe.
