HTTP
HyperText Transfer Protocol, a standard for
exchanging files across the internet. HTTP is
the standard used for formatting and
transmission of data on the world wide web.
I
I/O
Short for Input/Output.
I-Frame
Short name for intraframe. Used in the MPEG
(on page 171) standard for digital video
compression, an I-frame is a single frame
stored at specified intervals. The I-frame
records the entire view of the camera, whereas
the following frames (P-frames) record only the
pixels that change. This helps greatly reduce
the size of MPEG files. An I-frame is similar to
a keyframe.
IP
Internet Protocol; a protocol (i.e. standard)
specifying the format and addressing scheme
used for sending data packets across
networks. IP is often combined with another
protocol, TCP (Transmission Control Protocol).
The combination, known as TCP/IP, allows
data packets to be sent back and forth
between two points on a network for longer
periods of time, and is used when connecting
computers and other devices on the internet.
IP Address
Internet Protocol address; the identifier for a
computer or device on a network. Used by the
TCP/IP protocol for routing data traffic to the
intended destination. An IP address consists of
four numbers, each between 0 and 256,
separated by full stops (example:
192.168.212.2).
IPIX
A technology that allows creation and viewing
of 360° panoramic images.
J
JPEG
An image compression method, also known as
JPG or Joint Photographic Experts Group. The
method is a so-called lossy compression,
meaning that some image detail will be lost
during compression. Images compressed this
way have become generically known as JPGs
or JPEGs.
JPG
See JPEG.
K
Keyframe
Used in the standard for digital video
compression, such as MPEG (on page 171), a
keyframe is a single frame stored at specified
intervals. The keyframe records the entire view
of the camera, whereas the following frames
record only the pixels that change. This helps
greatly reduce the size of MPEG files. A
keyframe is similar to an I-frame (on page
170).
M
MAC Address
Media Access Control address, a 12-character
hexadecimal number uniquely identifying each
device on a network.
