Bandwidth

Defines the information carrying capacity of a channel. In

 

analog systems, it is the difference between the highest

 

frequency that a channel can carry and the lowest,

 

measured in hertz. In digital systems, bandwidth is

 

measured in bits per second. The larger a connection's

 

bandwidth, the more data can be transmitted in a given

 

amount of time, allowing for greater video resolution and

 

more sites in a conference. For more information, see

 

Line Rate.

 

 

Bps, Kbps

Bits and kilobits per second; a unit of bandwidth, that is

 

the amount of data that can flow during one second over a

 

communications line (using a transmission medium).

 

1 Kbps=1000 Bps

 

 

Carrier

A telephone or other company that provides

 

telecommunication transmission services.

 

 

CIF, 4CIF, QCIF

Common Intermediate Format, an optional part of the

 

ITU-T's H.261 and H.263 standards. CIF specifies 288

 

non-interlaced luminance lines, that contain 176 pixels.

 

CIF can be sent at frame rates of 7.5, 10, 15, or 30 per

 

second. When operating with CIF, the amount of data to

 

transmit cannot exceed 256 K bits (where K equals

 

1024).The CIF video format has the capacity to transmit

 

video images of 352x288 pixels at 36.45 Mbps and 30

 

frames per second. A 4CIF format has four times the

 

capacity of CIF; QCIF has quarter the capacity of CIF.
