A multi-resolution image format in which the image is stored as a series of independent arrays. Developed by Kodak, Hewlett-Packard, Live Picture, Inc., and Microsoft and introduced in June 1996.
Industry:Entertainment
As used herein, the entire area viewed by a television camera with the viewed area being uniformly white or any single specified color or any shade of gray.

A polygon rendered so that its interior pixels are all the same color has been rendered with “flat” shading. An object represented by polygons that is rendered with flat shading will look distinctly faceted.
No highlights or reflections are visible.

The process of converting a Macintosh file into a self-contained, single-forked file so that it is compatible with Windows environment. See Self-Contained, Single-Forked.
Industry:Entertainment
The minimum rate of change of brightness at which flicker is no longer visible. The flicker frequency increases with brightness and with the amount of the visual field being stimulated. In a recent study, a still image flashed on and off for equal amounts of time was found to have a flicker frequency of 60 flashes per second at a brightness of 40 foot lamberts (fL) and 70 at 500. Television sets generally range around 100 fL in peak brightness (though some new ones claim over 700). The SMPTE recommends 16 fL for movie theater screens (though this is measured without film, which reduces the actual scene brightness by at least 50 percent). One reason for interlaced scanning is to increase television’s flashing pictures to the flicker frequency, without increasing bandwidth.
Industry:Entertainment
Special effect in which the picture is either horizontally or vertically reversed.
Industry:Entertainment
Logic node that has no active outputs. Three-state bus lines, such as data bus lines, float when no devices are enabled.
Industry:Entertainment
Technique used to represent a large range of numbers, using a mantissa and an exponent. The precision of the representation is limited by the number of bits allocated to the mantissa.
Industry:Entertainment
Mass-storage device that uses a flexible (floppy) diskette to record information. See Disk.
