Bit rate--The bit rate indicates the volume of the data stream per second. Unlike constant bit rates, variable bit rates adjust the size of the data stream according to the video material. Chroma keying--Chroma keying uses a surface with a single color in front of which an actor, for example, is filmed. This color area is then made transparent during subsequent editing and can be replaced by a different background. Chrominance--Chrominance refers to the color signal in -> YUV, which is comprised of two color components: U, the balance between red and cyan, and V, the balance between yellow and blue. Composite video--Composite video is a transmission method common in the consumer sector that is generally realized using cinch connectors and which is frequently used, for example, on TVs. In this process, all signals (chrominance and luminance) share a single cable. The quality of composite video is lower than that of -> S video, in which chrominance and luminance are transferred separately. D8--Digital 8 is the successor to the Hi8 and VHS-C camcorder formats. Hi8 or D8 cassettes are still used, but the video data is recorded digitally in DV format. Data throughput--see Data transfer rate Data transfer rate--The data transfer rate describes the speed at which a hard drive can read or write data over a sustained period. Device control--In DV terms, this refers to the ability to control your camcorder from your PC. Its features include the capability to write graphics data directly to the memory of the graphics board for the fluid display of video material. Dropped frames--These are individual images missing from the video data stream, usually due to a slow hard drive. Storage capacities of 4. 7 GB (DVD-5) to 17 GB (DVD-18) and data rates between 600 and 1300 KBps are currently specified. In addition, distinctions are made between a variety of formats such as DVD Video, DVD Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM. [. . . ] 12 Grabster AV 250 (English) Timeline--The timeline is the time axis upon which you position and edit your video clips. Transition--see Fading Trimming--This refers to adjusting the length of a video clip at the beginning and/or end. The Video CD has a PAL resolution of 352 X 288 pixels and stores audio and video data in MPEG-1 format. VCDs use a constant -> bit rate of 1. 15 Mbps for video and 224 kbps for audio data. [. . . ]
