VIDEO TECHNOLOGY

Composite Video

 

An encoded video signal that includes horizontal and vertical syn-

 

chronizing information.

 

Component Video

 

A video signal that uses three wires to convey luminance (Y), red

 

minus luminance (R-Y), and blue minus luminance (B-Y) signals.

 

Progressive Scan Video

 

Video signals (noninterlaced) that build screen content in one pass

 

rather than the two passes required for standard (interlaced) video.

 

This technology eliminates motion artifact and screen line and pro-

 

duces film-quality pictures.

 

RGB

 

Red, green, and blue, the three primary colors used in video

 

processing.

 

S-Video

 

Video signal that separately transmits the color and luminance com-

 

ponents of the video signal but does not use three separate wires as

 

does component video.

 

YPbPr

 

One way of designating color difference signals. Y = the luminance

 

signal, Pb = the red minus luminance (R-Y) signal, and Pb = the blue

 

minus luminance (B-Y) signal.
