To remove artifacts that result from interlaced video. See also interlacing.
Video that consists of a binary signal, encoded as a series of zeroes and ones. All data that a computer processes must be digital,
so analog video must first be converted to digital video before it can be edited on a computer. See also analog video, AV-to-DV converter, and
DV-to-AV converter.
To convert analog video or audio to digital form.
A fade from one clip into another.
Alternating the colors of adjacent pixels to approximate intermediate colors. (For example, displaying adjacent blue and yellow pixels to
approximate green.) Dithering enables monitors to approximate colors they are unable to display.
Standard lossy audio format for DVD video. Supports mono and stereo audio, but is most commonly used to compress 5.1
surround sound with the AC-3 codec. See also lossy.
A timecode adjustment that drops certain frames to compensate for the uneven, 29.97 frames-per-second format of color video.
Drop-frame timecode is critical in broadcast applications. See also non-drop-frame and dropped frames.
An area of magnetic tape where information is missing. Drop-outs may occur due to dust, overuse, or physical damage. They can
cause random, flashing color pixels in affected frames. To avoid drop-outs, use a head-cleaning tape regularly in your camcorder.
Missing frames lost during the process of digitizing or capturing video. Dropped frames can be caused by a hard drive with a low
data transfer rate.
An electronic device that converts digital video signals into analog video signals. Compare to AV-to-DV converter.
Digital TV. Occasionally used to refer to desktop video.
Generally refers to digital video, but also connotes the type of compression used by DV systems and formats. DV also describes the tape
cartridge used in DV camcorders and tape decks.
The DV input on a camcorder.
Capability that allows DV camcorders to transfer video using USB 2.0.
Abbreviation for digital video disc and digital versatile disc. DVDs look like CDs, but have a much larger storage capacity—more than
enough for a feature-length film compressed with MPEG-2. DVDs require special drives for playback.
DVD burners support one or more of the following disc formats: DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD+R DL, and DVD-R DL.
(Note that -R and +R are different, as are -RW and +RW.) R discs let you record once to the disc. RW discs let you rerecord repeatedly. DL discs
are dual layer. Use R discs for broadest compatibility; not all DVD players can read RW discs.
See markers.
The timecode system created by the European Broadcasting Union and based on SECAM or PAL video signals.
To merge the individual video signals (for example, red, green, and blue) into a combined signal, or to convert a video file to a different
format using a codec.
Federal Communications Commission, the bureau that regulates radio and TV broadcast standards in the United States.
