6.4 Terms & Definitions
● RCA: Connector used primarily in consumer AV equipment for both audio and video. The RCA
connector was developed by the Radio Corporation of America.
●BNC: Stands for Bayonet Neill-Concelman. A cable connector used extensively in television (named for its
inventors). A cylindrical bayonet connector that operates with a twist-locking motion .
●CVBS: CVBS or Composite video, is an analog video signal without audio. Most commonly CVBS is used
for transmission of standard definition signals. In consumer applications the connector is typically RCA type,
while in professional applications the connector is BNC type.
●YPbPr: Used to describe the colour space for progressive-scan. Otherwise known as component video.
● VGA: Video Graphics Array. VGA is an analog signal typically used on earlier computers. The signal is
non-interlaced in modes 1, 2, and 3 and interlaced when using in mode.
●DVI: Digital Visual Interface. The digital video connectivity standard that was developed by DDWG (Digital
Display Work Group). This connection standard offers two different connectors: one with 24 pins that handles
digital video signals only, and one with 29 pins that handles both digital and analog video.
●SDI: Serial Digital Interface. Standard definition video is carried on this 270 Mbps data transfer rate. Video pixels
are characterized with a 10-bit depth and 4:2:2 color quantization. Ancillary data is included on this interface and
typically includes audio or other metadata. Up to sixteen audio channels can be transmitted. Audio is organised
into blocks of 4 stereo pairs. Connector is BNC.
●HD-SDI: High-definition serial digital interface (HD-SDI), is standardized in SMPTE 292M this provides a nominal
data rate of 1.485 Gbit/s.
●3G-SDI: Standardized in SMPTE 424M, consists of a single 2.970 Gbit/s serial link that allows replacing dual link
HD-SDI.
●6G-SDI: Standardized in SMPTE ST-2081 released in 2015, 6Gbit/s bitrate and able to support 2160p@30.
●12G-SDI: Standardized in SMPTE ST-2082 released in 2015, 12Gbit/s bitrate and able to support 2160p@60.
●U-SDI: Technology for transmitting large-volume 8K signals over a single cable. a signal interface called the ultra
high definition signal/data interface (U-SDI) for transmitting 4K and 8K signals using a single optical cable. The
interface was standardized as the SMPTE ST 2036-4.
●HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface: An interface used for the transmission of uncompressed high
definition video, up to 8 channels of audio, and control signals, over a single cable.

●DP 1.1: Was ratified on 2 April 2007, and version 1.1a was ratified on 11 January 2008. DisplayPort 1.1 allow a
maximum bandwidth of 10.8 Gbit/s (8.64 Gbit/s data rate) over a standard 4-lane main link, enough to support
1920x1080@60Hz
●DP 1.2: Introduced on 7 January 2010, effective bandwidth to 17.28 Gbit/s support increased resolutions, higher
refresh rates, and greater color depth, maximum resolution 3840 × 2160@60Hz
● DP 1.4: Publish on 1 Mar, 2016.overall transmission bandwidth 32.4 Gbit/s ,DisplayPort 1.4 adds support for
Display Stream Compression 1.2 (DSC), DSC is a "visually lossless" encoding technique with up to a 3:1
compression ratio. Using DSC with HBR3 transmission rates, DisplayPort 1.4 can support 8K UHD (7680 × 4320) at
60 Hz or 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) at 120 Hz with 30 bit/px RGB color and HDR. 4K at 60 Hz 30 bit/px RGB/HDR can
be achieved without the need for DSC.
● Multi-mode Fiber: Fibers that support many propagation paths or transverse modes are called multi-mode
fibers, generally have a wider core diameter and are used for short-distance communication links and for
applications where high power must be transmitted.
●Single-mode Fiber: Fiber that support a single mode are called single-mode fibers. Single-mode fibers are used
for most communication links longer than 1,000 meters (3,300 ft).

● SFP: Small form-factor pluggable , is a compact, hot-pluggable network interface module used for
both telecommunication and data communications applications.
● Optical Fiber Connector: Terminates the end of an optical fiber, and enables quicker connection and
disconnection than splicing. The connectors mechanically couple and align the cores of fibers so light can pass. 4
most common types of optical fiber connectors are SC, FC, LC,ST.
●SC: (Subscriber Connector), also known as the square connector was also created by the Japanese company –
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone. SC is a push-pull coupling type of connector and has a 2.5mm diameter.
Nowadays, it is used mostly in single mode fiber optic patch cords, analog, GBIC, and CATV. SC is one of the most
popular options, as its simplicity in design comes along with great durability and affordable prices.
●LC：(Lucent Connector) is a small factor connector (uses only a 1.25mm ferrule diameter) that has a snap coupling
mechanism. Because of its small dimensions, it is the perfect fit for high-density connections, XFP, SFP, and SFP+
transceivers.
●FC: (Ferrule Connector) is a screw type connector with a 2.5mm ferrule. FC is a round shaped threaded fiber optic
connector,mostly used on Datacom, telecom, measurement equipment, single-mode laser.
●ST: (Straight Tip) was invented by AT&T and uses a bayonet mount along with a long spring-loaded ferrule to
support the fiber.
●USB: Universal Serial Bus is a standard that was developed in the mid-1990s that defines cables, connectors and
communication protocols. This technology is designed to allow a connection, communication and power supply
for peripheral devices and computers.
●USB 1.1: Full–Bandwidth USB, specification was the first release to be widely adopted by the consumer market.
This specification allowed for a maximum bandwidth of 12Mbps.
●USB 2.0: or Hi–Speed USB, specification made many improvements over USB 1.1. The main improvement was an
increase in bandwidth to a maximum of 480Mbps.
●USB 3.2: Super Speed USB with 3 varieties of 3.2 Gen 1(original name USB 3.0), 3.2Gen 2(original name USB 3.1),
3.2 Gen 2x2 (original name USB 3.2) with speed up to 5Gbps,10Gbps,20Gbps respectively.

●NTSC: The colour video standard used in North America and some other parts of the world created by
the National Television Standards Committee in the 1950s. NTSC utilizes an interlaced video signals.
●PAL: Phase Alternate Line. A television standard in which the phase of the colour carrier is alternated from line to
line. It takes four full images (8 fields) for the colour-to-horizontal images (8 fields) for the colour-to-horizontal
phase relationship to return to the reference point. This alternation helps cancel out phase errors. For this reason,
the hue control is not needed on a PAL TV set. PAL, is widely used in needed on a PAL TV set. PAL, is widely used in
Western Europe, Australia, Africa, the Middle East, and Micronesia. PAL uses 625-line, 50-field (25 fps)
composite colour transmission system.
●SMPTE: Society of Motion image and Television Engineers. A global organization, based in the United States, that
sets standards for baseband visual communications. This includes film as well as video and television standards.
●VESA: Video Electronics Standards Association. An organization facilitating computer graphics through standards.
●HDCP: High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) was developed by Intel Corporation an is in wide
use for protection of video during transmission between devices.
● HDBaseT: A video standard for the transmission of uncompressed video (HDMI signals) and related features
using Cat 5e/Cat6 cabling infrastructure.
●ST2110: A SMPTE developed standard, ST2110 describes how to send digital video over and IP networks. Video
is transmitted uncompressed with audio and other data in a separate streams.
SMPTE2110 is intended principally for broadcast production and distribution facilities where quality and flexibility
are more important.
● SDVoE: Software Defined Video over Ethernet (SDVoE) is a method for transmission, distribution and
management AV signals using a TCP/IP Ethernet infrastructure for transport with low latency. SDVoE is commonly
used in integration applications.
●Dante AV: The Dante protocol was developed for and widely adopted in audio systems for the transmission of
uncompressed digital audio on IP based networks. The more recent Dante AV specification includes support for
digital video.
●NDI: Network Device interface (NDI) is a software standard developed by NewTek to enable video-compatible
products to communicate, deliver, and receive broadcast quality video in a high quality, low latency manner that is
frame-accurate and suitable for switching in a live production environment over TCP (UDP) Ethernet based
networks. NDI is commonly found in broadcast applications.

●RTMP: Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) was initially a proprietary protocol developed by Macromedia (now
Adobe) for streaming audio, video and data over the Internet, between a Flash player and a server.
●RTSP: The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a network control protocol designed for use in entertainment
and communications systems to control streaming media servers. The protocol is used for establishing and
controlling media sessions between end points.
●MPEG: Moving Picture Experts Group is a working group formed from ISO and IEC developing standards that
allow audio/video digital compression and Transmission.
●H.264: Also known as AVC (Advanced Video Coding) or MPEG-4i is a common video compression standard.
H.264 was standardized by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) together with the ISO/IEC JTC1
Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG).
● H.265: Also known as HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding ) H.265 is the successor to the widely used
H.264/AVC digital video coding standard. Developed under the auspices of ITU, resolutions up to 8192x4320
may be compressed.
●API: An Application Programming Interface (API) provides a predefined function which allows access
capabilities and features or routines via a software or hardware, without accessing source code or understanding
the details of inner working mechanism. An API call may execute a function and/or provide data feedback/report.
●DMX512: The communication standard developed by USITT for entertainment and digital lighting
systems.The wide adoption of the Digital Multiplex (DMX) protocol has seen the protocol used for a wide range of
other devices including video controllers. DMX512 is delivered over cable of 2 twisted pairs with 5pin XLR cables for
connection.
●ArtNet: An ethernet protocol based on TCP/IP protocol stack, mainly used in entertainment/events applications.
Built on the DMX512 data format, ArtNet enables multiple “ universes ” of DMX512 to be transmitted using
ethernet networks for transport.
●MIDI: MIDI is the abbreviation of Musical Instrument Digital Interface. As the name indicates the protocol was
developed for communication between electronical musical instruments and latterly computers. MIDI instructions are
triggers or commands sent over twisted pair cables, typically using 5pin DIN connectors.
●OSC: The principle of Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol is for networking sound synthesizers, computers, and
multimedia devices for musical performance or show control. As with XML and JSON, the OSC protocol allows
sharing data. OSC is transported via UDP packets between devices connected on an Ethernet.
●Brightness: Usually refers to the amount or intensity of video light produced on a screen without regard to
colour. Sometimes called black level.

●Contrast Ratio: The ratio of the high light output level divided by the low light output level. In theory, the
contrast ratio of the television system should be at least 100:1, if not 300:1. In reality, there are several
limitations. Well-controlled viewing conditions should yield a practical contrast ratio of 30:1 to 50:1.
●Colour Temperature: The colour quality, expressed in degrees Kelvin (K), of a light source. The higher the colour
temperature, the bluer the light. The lower the temperature, the redder the light. Benchmark colour
temperature for the A/V industry include 5000°K, 6500°K, and 9000°K.
●Saturation: Chroma, Chroma gain. The intensity of the colour, or the extent to which a given colour in any image
is free from white. The less white in a colour, the truer the colour or the greater its saturation. Saturation is the
amount of pigment in a colour, and not the intensity.
●Gamma: The light output of a CRT is not linear with respect to the voltage input. The difference between
what you should have and what is actually output is known as gamma.
●Frame: In interlaced video, a frame is one complete image.A video frame is made up of two fields, or two sets of
interlaced lines. In a film, a frame is one still image of a series that makes up a motion image.
●Genlock: Allows synchronisation of otherwise video devices. A signal generator provides a signal pulses which
connected devices can reference. Also see Black Burst and Color Burst.
●Blackburst: The video waveform without the video elements.It includes the vertical sync, horizontal sync,
and the Chroma burst information. Blackburst is used to synchronize video equipment to align the video
output.
●Colour Burst: In colour TV systems, a burst of subcarrier frequency located on the back part of the composite
video signal. This serves as a colour synchronizing signal to establish a frequency and phase reference for the
Chroma signal. Colour burst is 3.58 MHz for NTSC and 4.43 MHz for PAL.
●Colour Bars: A standard test pattern of several basic colours (white, yellow, cyan, green, magenta, red, blue, and
black) as a reference for system alignment and testing. In NTSC video, the most commonly used colour bars are
the SMPTE standard colour bars. In PAL video, the most commonly used colour bars are eight full field bars. On
computer monitors the most commonly used colour bars are two rows of reversed colour bars
●Seamless Switching: A feature found on many video switchers. This feature causes the switcher to wait until the
vertical interval to switch. This avoids a glitch (temporary scrambling) which often is seen when switching between
sources.
● Scaling: A conversion of a video or computer graphic signal from a starting resolution to a new resolution.
Scaling from one resolution to another is typically done to optimize the signal for input to an image processor,
transmission path or to improve its quality when presented on a particular display.
●PIP: Picture-In-Picture. A small image within a larger image created by scaling down one of image to make it
smaller. Other forms of PIP displays include Picture-By-Picture (PBP) and Picture- With-Picture (PWP), which are

commonly used with 16:9 aspect display devices. PBP and PWP image formats require a separate scaler for each
video window .
● HDR: is a high dynamic range (HDR) technique used in imaging and photography to reproduce a
greater dynamic range of luminosity than what is possible with standard digital imaging or photographic
techniques. The aim is to present a similar range of luminance to that experienced through the human visual
system.
●UHD: Standing for Ultra High Definition and comprising 4K and 8K television standards with a 16:9 ratio, UHD
follows the 2K HDTV standard. A UHD 4K display has a physical resolution of 3840x2160 which is four times the
area and twice both the width and height ofa HDTV/FullHD (1920 x1080) video signal.
●EDID: Extended Display Identification Data. EDID is a data structure used to communicate video display
information, including native resolution and vertical interval refresh rate requirements, to a source device. The source
device will then output the provided EDID data, ensuring proper video image quality.
