Hosiden connector
– A small connector with 4 poles to transmit ,in example, -> S video
signals.
IEEE-1394
– Originally a Universal Bus system for digital data transfer, developed by Apple.
Devices may be connected by cables with a length of up to 4, 5 m. This system offers data
transfer rates of up to 400 Mbits/s. As there's is no specified data format for this system yet, a
homogenous standard for video data is still missing. Sony has filled the gap with the
"normative strength of the actual", by integrating FireWire™ connectors into their own digital
recorders. FireWire™ and the Sony protocol have finally achieved seamless video editing.
Ilink
– Sony’s name for -> IEEE-1394
Interlacing
– see half pictures.
Linear Editing
– see Linear video cut
Linear video cut
– The linear video cut originates in analogue video. Original video data is
mostly available in the same order as edited video clips. A simple way of linear cutting is, for
example, the transmission from an analogue video camera to a video recorder and the
simultaneous erasure of some clips. If you wish to insert, for example, a new video clip at the
middle, all following clips must be cut again.
Luma Keying
– In opposition to Chroma Keying, in Luma Keying the video transparence is
determined by the illumination.
Luminance
– Luminance indicates illumination in -> YUV. (Y)
Main memory
– See RAM
MiniDV
– the consumer version of the DV-format. See also –> DV.
MiniDVD
– Indicates a procedure, where -> DVD data with a corresponding registry structure
and a navigation menu is copied to conventional CD. Due to the small memory space, a
MiniDVD can only store 18 minutes of video data. Unfortunately, only a few DVD players can
play MiniDVD, so that for the creation of a MiniDVD, a reproduction on a computer is
recommended.
MJPEG
– Motion JPEG is a compression procedure, where every picture in the video data
stream is compressed individually.
MPEG
– The Motion Picture Experts Group is a consortium of leading manufacturers and
developers of video technology, setting new standards like MPEG-1 or MPEG-2.
