Choose means make a choice to select an action that will take place, i.e., press the left mouse button to bring up a pop-up menu, move the cursor to highlight the command that you want to run, then release the button.
Industry:Entertainment
A test pattern consisting of vertical and horizontal lines used for converging color monitors and cameras.
Industry:Entertainment
An artifact observed in composite systems employing quadrature modulation and frequency interleaving. As the analog of crosscolor, cross-luminance results in some of the information carried by the chrominance signal (on color subcarrier) being subsequently interpreted as fine detail luminance information. A typical visible effect is chroma crawl and visible subcarrier.

In an (M) NTSC or (B, D, G, H, I) PAL video signal, the luma (black and white) and the chroma (color) information are combined together. To decode an NTSC or PAL video signal, the luma and chroma must be separated. The chroma bandpass filter removes the luma from the video signal, leaving the chroma relatively intact. This works fairly well except in certain images where the luma information and chroma information overlap, meaning chroma and luminance information occupy the same frequency space. Depending on the filtering technique used, it can be difficult for the filter to separate the chroma from the luminance information. This results in some luminance information being interpreted as chroma and some chroma information being interpreted as luminance. The effects of this improper separation of luminance and chroma are especially noticeable when the television scene contains objects with thin, closely spaced black and white lines. As the camera moves across this object, a rainbow of colors will appear in the object indicating the improper separation of the luminance and chroma information.
Industry:Entertainment
A device which divides a signal into two or more frequency bands before low-frequency outputs of a crossover network. The level of each output at this frequency is 3 dB down from the flat section of the crossover’s frequency response curve.

By cross-play capability is meant the ability to record and reproduce on the same or a different machine; record at one speed and reproduce at the same or a different speed; accomplish the foregoing singly or in any combination without readjustment for tape or transport type.
Industry:Entertainment
A deliberate distortion of colors usually used to achieve unusual matching. By detecting the quadrant the color is in (by normally deciding whether R-Y and B-Y are positive or negative), the amplitude of RY, B-Y just for colors in that quadrant can be changed; hence, the hue and saturation can be changed for those colors without affecting others.

a) The electronic circuit used to switch video, usually on a bus. b) An electronic switch, usually controlled by a push-button on the panel, or remotely by computer that allows video or audio to pass when the switch is closed.
