Appendix D • Glossary of Terms

I Frames – Intra Frames, which are key reference frames in the MPEG compression algorithm. I-frames contain all the data needed to represent an entire frame,

IGMP – Refers to the Internet Group Management Protocol, an Internet protocol that provides a way for an Internet computer to report its multicast group membership to adjacent routers.

Multicasting allows one host computer on the Internet to send content to multiple other computers having identified themselves as being interested in receiving the transmitting computer's content. These networks enable streaming to an audience being "tuned in" by setting up a multicast group membership without interfering with those users not being tuned in.

Image – A still picture or one frame of a motion sequence.

Interleave – An arrangement of audio and video data inside the file.

Interpolation – Scaling the image from a smaller size to a larger size while intelligently creating new pixels.

ISO – Refers to the International Standards Organization, the governing body that creates standards.

IP– Refers to the Internet Protocol used along with the Transport Control Protocol (TCP) to send data divided into data packets over the Internet. While TCP keeps track of the individual data packets, IP handles the actual delivery of the data.

Jitter – This is the difference of the latencies between two data packets and can cause real-time data packets to arrive out of order.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Expert Group) – An ISO committee formed to develop the standard for the compression of still images.

Kbps – Kilobits per second. A data flow rate indicating exactly 103 bits per second.
