52 SDA 601 Serial Digital Analyzer User Manual
APCRC (active picture CRC)
A CRC derived from the samples in the active picture only.
Described in SMPTE RP 165.
AUX
In the SDA 601, the auxiliary output. The AUX output can be
configured as analog “pseudo-video” (unfiltered DAC output) or
as the trigger pulse.
bit serial
Bit-wise transmission of digital video down a single conductor
such as coaxial cable. May also be sent through fiber optics.
This standard is covered under CCIR 656.
bit stream
A continuous series of bits transmitted on a line.
cable equalization
The process of altering the frequency response of a video
amplifier to compensate for high frequency losses in coaxial
cable.
CCIR
International Radio Consultative Committee, an international
standards committee, now replaced by ITU-R.
CCIR 601
(See ITU-R BT.601.)
CCIR 656
The physical parallel and serial interconnect scheme for
CCIR-601. CCIR-656 defines the parallel connector pinouts as
well as the blanking, sync, and multiplexing schemes used in
both parallel and serial interfaces. Reflects definitions in EBU
Tech 3267 (for 625 line signals), SMPTE 125M (parallel 525),
and SMPTE 259M (serial 525).
clock recovery
The reconstruction of timing information from digital data.
