- Company Profile:
Tektronix provides test and measurement instruments, solutions and services for the computer, semiconductor, military/aerospace, consumer electronics and education industries worldwide.
Central processing unit fabricated on one or two chips.
The processor consists of the arithmetic and logic unit, control block, and registers.
Industry:Software
Register inside the microprocessor that contains the opcode for the instruction being executed.
Industry:Software
The absorption of energy by matter and its following emission as light. If the light follows and then completes itself quickly after absorption of the energy, the term fluorescence is used. If the process is of a longer and more persistent length, the term phosphorescence is applied.
Industry:Software
a) The process of editing using rapid retrieval (random access) computer controlled media such as hard disks, CD-ROMs and laser discs. Its main advantages are: allows you to reorganize clips or make changes to sections without having to redo the entire production and very fast random access to any point on the hard disk (typically 20-40 ms).
b) Nonlinear distinguished editing operation from the “linear” methods used with tape. Nonlinear refers to not having to edit material in the sequence of the final program and does not involve copying to make edits.
It allows any part of the edit to be accessed and modified without having to re-edit or re-copy the material that is already edited and follows that point.
Nonlinear editing is also non-destructive, the video is not changed but the list of how the video is played back is modified during editing.
Industry:Software
An AVC series feature that allows a key to be fully adjusted as soon as it is selected. This is accomplished by a “store” button on the key adjust panel that may be pressed when an operator is satisfied with the adjustment of a key. From that point on, whenever that key is selected, regardless of which keyer it is on, all adjustments and features of that key are automatically recalled.
Industry:Software
Program that defines the instruction set. The microprogram (also called microcode) tells the CPU what to do to execute each machine language instruction. It is even more detailed than machine language and is not generally accessible to the user.
Industry:Software
Total group of instructions that can be executed by a given microprocessor. Must be supplied to the user to provide the basic information necessary to assemble a program.
Industry:Software
a) The time rate of flow of light. b) The time rate of flow of radiant energy evaluated in terms of a standardized visual response.
Unless otherwise indicated, the luminous flux is defined for photopic vision.
The unit of flux is the lumen: the luminous flux emitted within unit solid angle by a point source having an isotropic luminous intensity of 1 candela.
Industry:Software
An editing system based on storage of video and audio on computer disk, where the order or lengths of scenes can be changed without the necessity of reassembling or copying the program.
