Appendix D • Glossary of Terms

KBps – Kilobytes per second. A date flow rate indicating exactly 210 bytes per second.

Kiosk – A stand-alone unit being used for delivering information.

Laser Disc – An analog storage device that can read video and sound.

Latency – The minimum time required to move data from one point to another. Once latency is present, it cannot be optimized. The cause has to be removed (as in using an internal device rather than an external one to remove the latency caused by the serial port). To maximize throughput, use the highest bandwidth available.

LAN – Refers to local area networks (e.g. within a business), which is a group of PCs and network devices dispersed over a relatively limited area and connected by a communications link that allows one device to interconnect with any other on the network.

LED – Control unit that indicates function or malfunction. Level – The signal amplitude in video.

Linear PCM – A non-compressed digital audio format. The DVD specification allows for 16 to 24-bit Linear PCM audio sampled at 48 or 96 kHz.

Luminance – A component, the black and white or brightness element of an image.

Macro block – 16 x 16 pixel squares being used in the MPEG compression scheme.

Mbps – Megabits per second. A data flow rate indicating exactly 106 bits per second (bps).

MBps – Megabytes per second. A date flow rate indicating exactly 220 bytes per second (Bps).

MJPEG or Motion JPEG – A deviation from the JPEG specification where still image compression is used to compress motion video.
