    Glossary Compress Reducing the size of a file by eliminating irrelevant information and trying at the same time to keep the same image impression. Contrast The tonal difference between light, midtone, and dark areas of an image. Digital video (DV) Refers to the capturing, manipulation and storage of video in digital formats.
  • Page 95 Glossary Lossless compression Finds repeated parts of the signal, removes them, then puts them back in at the other end - important for data but not for voice. Lossy compression Use advanced modeling techniques to determine what is important to the signal and what can be left out - signal should sound or look pretty much same.
  • Page 96 Glossary SECAM Sequential Couleur A Memoire. TV standard developed in France. Spatial compression Compression technique that reduces the information needed to display video frames. S-Video S-Video is one of the high quality methods of transmitting a television signal from a device such as a Camcorder, DVD, or a digital satellite receiver. S-video interface separates the color information (Chrominance) from the brightness (Luminance), which prevents nasty things and helps increase clarity and sharpness.
