pabilities (for example, matrix wipes).
Component Video
Video signal that keeps color and luminance
information separate. RGB, Y, R-Y, B-Y, and
Y, Cr, Cb are examples of component video.
Composite Video
An encoded video signal that combines color
information with luminance information.
NTSC, PAL, and D-2 are examples of com-
posite video
Compositing
Combining two or more video signals to-
gether into one output signal.
Control Signal
A signal used to perform an alteration or
transition of video signals. For example, con-
