Glossary
Phase adjustment | Positions the input image (test pattern, video, graphics, etc.) |
| on the CRT raster. If the phase is misadjusted, the image may |
| "wrap around" the edges or be positioned off the screen. |
Pincushion Adjustment Corrects for warped distortion at the sides or top and bottom
| of the image. The pincushion adjustment is performed on |
| green only and affects all RGB. |
Raster | The area illuminated by the scan lines on a CRT. |
Resolution | The degree of sharpness of a displayed or printed character or |
| image; the amount of detail in a picture. On a display screen, |
| resolution is expressed as the number of horizontal dots |
| (columns) by the number of vertical lines (rows). For |
| example, a 680 x 400 resolution means 680 dots across each |
| of 400 lines. |
Retrace | The |
| tube as it travels from the end of any horizontal line to the |
| beginning of either the next horizontal line or field. The |
| beam is turned "off" during retrace. |
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) Refers to the method of recording and generating colors in a
| video system. On a television or color monitor, colors are |
| displayed as varying intensities of red, green and blue dots. |
| When red, green and blue are all turned on high, white is |
| produced. When all dots are turned off, the base color of the |
| screen appears. |
RGB | Test pattern of aligned, alternating dots of RGB, used for |
| convergence adjustment. |
| A high band video recording process for VHS that increases |
| picture quality and resolution capability. |
| machines use a special output terminal which allows separate |
| output of luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) picture |
| information to monitors equipped with |
A video signal that has the luminance (Y) information | |
| separated from chrominance (C) information. |
SAP | (Second Audio Program) The MTS system for television also |
| provides the ability to send an additional audio signal, called |
| Second Audio Program (SAP). |
Saturated Color | 1) A color as far from white, black or gray as it can be |
| (i.e., vermilion rather than pink). |
