a) The algorithm used to capture analog video or audio onto your hard drive. b) Used to implement the physical combination of the coding and decoding circuits. c) A device for converting signals from analog to coded digital and then back again for use in digital transmission schemes. Most codecs employ proprietary coding algorithms for data compression. See Coder-Decoder.
Industry:Entertainment
The number of bits recorded per track length unit, usually expressed in terms of kilobits per inch (KBPI) or bits per millimeter (BPMM).
Industry:Entertainment
a) A number (often a constant) that expresses some property of a physical system in a quantitative way. b) A number specifying the amplitude of a particular frequency in a transform.
Industry:Entertainment
Byte-wise transmission of digital video down a multi-conductor cable where each pair of wires carries a single bit. This standard is covered under SMPTE125M, EBU 3267-E, and ITU-R BT.656 (CCIR 656).
Industry:Entertainment
The tangential force required to maintain (dynamic coefficient) or initiate (static coefficient) motion between two surfaces divided by the normal force pressing the two surfaces together.
Industry:Entertainment
Video RAM containing formatted graphics data for VGA and SVGA systems where four or more bit planes can be addressed in parallel. A bit plane is sometimes called a map.
Industry:Entertainment
The relative increase in the linear dimension of a tape or base material per percent increase in relative humidity measured in a given humidity range.
Industry:Entertainment
a) The rate at which the compressed bit stream is delivered from the storage medium to the input of a decoder. The digital equivalent of bandwidth. b) The speed at which bits are transmitted, usually expressed in bit per second (IEEE 100). Video information, in a digitized image for example, is transferred, recorded, and reproduced through the production process at some rate (bits/s) appropriate to the nature and capabilities of the origination, the channel, and the receptor. c) The amount of data transported in a given amount of time, usually defined in Mega (million) bits per second (Mbps). Bit rate is one means used to define the amount of compression used on a video signal. Uncompressed D1 has a bit rate of 270 Mbps. MPEG-1 has a bit rate of 1.2 Mbps.
Industry:Entertainment
The relative increase in the linear dimension of a tape or base material per degree rise in temperature (usually Fahrenheit) measured in a given temperature range.
Industry:Entertainment
Measured in oersteds, the measurement of a magnetic characteristic. The demagnetizing force required to reduce the magnetic induction in a magnetic materiel to zero from its saturated condition.
