Appendix D • Glossary of Terms

Motion Compensation – A video compression technique that makes use of the redundancy between adjacent frames of motion video.

Motion Video – Refers to video that displays real motion. It is accomplished by displaying a sequence of image (frames) rapidly enough that the eye sees the image as a continuously moving picture.

MPEG – Refers to the Moving Pictures Expert Group, a branch of the ISO - IEC Joint Technical Committee 1, which is working on algorithm standardization for the compression of Motion video.

Multiplexing – Combining two or more data streams together into a single stream.

Networking Layer – Layer III in OSI Systems, navigates information, which is being transmitted over the network.

NIC – Network Interface card

NTSC – Refers to the National Television Standards Committee and is the United States' standard for scanning TV signals and has been adopted by numerous other countries. Frames are displayed at a rate of 30 frames per second. NTSC is based on a 525/60-line/field system. The bandwidth for the NTSC luminance signal is 4.2 MHz. The bandwidths for the I- and Q-channels are 1.3 and 0.4 MHz respectively. Other standards are PAL and SECAM.

OLE – Refers to Object Linking and Embedding, a Microsoft protocol to link applications.

OSI – Refers to Acronym for National Television Systems Committee, an ISO standard for worldwide communications defining a framework to implement protocols in seven layers. Control is passed from one layer to the next, starting at the application layer in one station, proceeding to the bottom layer, over the channel to the next station and back up the hierarchy.

PAL – Refers to Phase Alternation Line and is Europe's and most of the world's standard of scanning TV signals. Frames are
