2:2 pull-down
Theprocess of transferring 24-frames/sec film format into video by repeating each frame (used for PAL DVD’s) as two video fields.

3:2 pull-down
Method used to map the 24 fps of film onto the 30 fps (60 fields) or 25 fps (50 fields), so that one film frame occupies three video
fields, the next two, etc. It means the two fields of every other video frame come from different film frames making operations
such as rotoscoping impossible, and requiring care in editing. Some sophisticated equipment can unravel the 3:2 sequence to
allowframe-by-frame treatment and subsequently re-compose 3:2. The3:2 sequence repeats every five video frames and four film
frames, the latter identified as A-D. Only film frame A is fully on a video frame and so exists at one time code only,making it th e
editable point of the video sequence.
Artefacts
Undesirable elements or defects in a video picture. These may occur naturally in the video process and must be eliminated in
orderto achieve a high-quality picture. Mostc ommon inanalog are crosscolor and cross luminance. Mostcommon in digital are
macroblocks, which resemble pixelationof the video image.
Colorspace
Acolor space is a mathematical representation for a color. Forexample, the RGB color space is based on a Cartesian coordinate
system.
