Horizontal resolution
The capability of a CCD camera to

of vertical lines which can be
distinguished in the reproduced

IRE scale
The scale to determine video
signal amplitudes devised by the
Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE),
an American organization now
called the Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
The IRE scale includes a total of
140 units, with 100 up and 40
down from zero.
PCM audio
PCM stands for "pulse code
modulation." PCM audio means
audio signals that have been
processed by pulse code
modulation. Each analog audio
signal is converted into pulses that
are generated in rapid succession,
and each pulse is recorded as a
digital signal having a value of 0
or 1.
Pedestal level
A black level which is the absolute
black level of a video signal.
Return video
This refers to a video signal
returned from the VCR to the
camera or from the CCU to one
camera in a multi-camera system,
allowing the camera operator to
monitor the image output from the
camera or shot on other cameras.
