Luminance | Abbreviated as "Y." The portion of the signal that |
| contains the black and white information, which |
| affects brightness. |
Noise | An undesirable electrical interference of a signal. |
Overscanning | Displaying less than the complete area of an |
| image to a viewer (i.e., scanning beyond the |
| visible area). All TV sets are overscanned at |
| least slightly, so that viewers do not see blanking. |
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 |
| beam of a picture 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. |
Rollbar Assembly | Assembly where the front and rear cover are |
| hinged to. Used to hold covers in place. |
| A high band video recording process for VHS that |
| increases picture quality and resolution capability. |
| |
| terminal which allows separate output of |
| luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) picture |
| information to monitors equipped with |
| inputs. |
| A video signal that has the luminance (Y) |
| information separated from chrominance (C) |
| information. |
