Glossary

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 blanked-out line traced by the scanning

 

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.

S-VHS

A high band video recording process for VHS that

 

increases picture quality and resolution capability.

 

S-VHS tape machines use a special output

 

terminal which allows separate output of

 

luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) picture

 

information to monitors equipped with S-Video

 

inputs.

S-Video

A video signal that has the luminance (Y)

 

information separated from chrominance (C)

 

information.
