Tektronix provides test and measurement instruments, solutions and services for the computer, semiconductor, military/aerospace, consumer electronics and education industries worldwide.
A standard unit for measuring the information storage capacity of disks and memory (RAM and ROM); 1000 kilobytes make one megabyte.
Industry:Software
Adding the value “one” to the contents of a register or memory location.
Industry:Software
Piece of tape spliced beginning (head) to end (tail) for continuous playback or recording. To fold around. A loop/slack section of film with the necessary “play” to allow film which had been previously and continuously moving from a reel to be intermittently moved through a grate/projection head/optical lens arrangement. Proper loop size is important in threading a film projector, i.e., in telecine for film to videotape transfer.
Industry:Software
The logic false state is represented by the more positive voltage in the system, and the logic true state is represented by the more negative voltage in the system. For TTL, 0 becomes +2.4 volts or greater, and 1 becomes +0.4 volts or less.
Industry:Software
a) Slang for the stair-step aliasing that appears on diagonal lines. Caused by insufficient filtering, violation of the Nyquist Theory, and/or poor interpolation. b) A term for the jagged visual appearance of lines and shapes in raster pictures that results from producing graphics on a grid format. This effect can be reduced by increasing the sample rate in scan conversion.
Industry:Software
A collection of Internet routers that support IP multicasting. The MBONE is used as a multicast channel that sends various public and private audio and video programs.
Industry:Software
a) Intel’s series of compressor and decompressor technologies for digital video, capable of producing software-only video playback. b) The Indeo is a video compression/playback technique from Intel. Just like CinePak, playback of Indeo compressed video does not require any special hardware. The Indeo algorithm, which used techniques like vector quantization and run-length coding, is used by various other companies. A video file compressed with Indeo may be played on systems that support either Video for Windows or QuickTime. The new Indeo Video Interactive (IVI) software incorporates additional features to support interactive applications, and used a hybrid wavelet-based algorithm with bidirectional prediction. IVI may be played on systems that support Video for Windows, later also QuickTime, without dedicated hardware. Video encoded by IVI may be played at up to 640 x 480 pixels resolution and at up to 30 fps, depending on hardware configuration.
Industry:Software
A video signal entering a piece of equipment is returned to the outside world for further use. Loop through circuitry requires careful design to prevent signal degradation.
Industry:Software
Subroutine that is called by another subroutine or a loop within a larger loop is said to be nested.
Industry:Software
Process of locking a time-code generator to existing recorded time code on a tape in order to recreate or extend the time code. This may be necessary because, beyond a given point on tape, time code may be non-existent or of poor quality.
