a) The configuration of signals used for interconnecting equipment in a specified system. Different formats may use different signal composition, reference pulses, etc. A variety of formats are used to record video. They vary by tape width (8 mm, 1/2", 3/4", 1"), signal form (composite, Y/C, component), data storage type (analog or digital) and signal standard (PAL, NTSC, SECAM). b) For data storage media (hard disks, floppies, etc.), the process of initializing the media prior to use. Formatting effectively deletes any data that was previously on the media. See Format Disk.
Industry:Entertainment
The process of both encoding/decoding and resampling of digital rates to change a digital signal from one format to another.
Industry:Entertainment
A device that allows the reformatting of a digital data stream originating from one sampling structure (lines per frame, pixels per line) into a digital data stream of another sampling structure for the purposes of recording or passing the original data stream through distribution devices designed to accommodate the latter structure. Since the data still represents the original sampling structure, this is not the same as standards conversion.
Industry:Entertainment
The process of preparing a disk for data storage by determining where data is to be placed and how it is to be arranged on disk.
Industry:Entertainment
A decoder is able to decode a bit stream coming from an encoder of a previous generation. A new coding standard is forward compatible with an existing coding standard if new decoders (designed to operate with the new coding standard) continue to be able to decode bit streams of the existing coding standard.
Industry:Entertainment
a) System in which redundancy is added to the message so that errors can be corrected dynamically at the receiver. b) Error control bits added to useful data in the QAM/QPSK modulator.
Industry:Entertainment
The ratio of the number of bits incorrectly transmitted to the total number of bits of information received.
Industry:Entertainment
Information that is used for motion compensation from a reference picture at an earlier time in display order.
