Keying

A display effect that switches between two display sources depending on the pixel values in one of the sources. Keying is used to make portions of the overlay frame buffer surface transparent so that corresponding areas of the underlay frame buffer surface can show through it.

Latency

The time from when an operation is started to when the final result is produced.

Live processing

See real-time processing.

Local Area Network (LAN)

A group (or network) of computers and other devices that are connected together to share the resources (files, printers, devices, and other services (such as Internet access)) of a single workstation or server within a small geographical area. The main LAN connection technology used is Ethernet cable, which connects users (clients) to the LAN’s server. Clients download applications and/or services from the server, and then run or use them from their local computer.

LUT mapping

Look-up table mapping. A point-to-point operation that uses a table to define a replacement value for each possible pixel value in an image.

LVDS

Low-Voltage Differential Signaling. It is a way to communicate data using a very low voltage swing (about 350mV) over two differential printed circuit board (PCB) traces or a balanced cable.

MSPS

Mega samples per second.
