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. The DV format used in the professional sector supports playing times of up to three hours. DV-In--Usually, the DV jack of a camcorder can transport video data in both directions-- to and from the camcorder. Enabling--Due to European import duties, imported digital video recorders are more expensive than imported digital video playback devices. For this reason, manufacturers of camcorders have begun to modify their products for the European market and to disable the digital input -> DV-In. Needless to say, clever developers found a way around this restriction very quickly.
