Optical resolution
Optical resolution describes the ability of an imaging system to resolve detail, in the object that is being imaged. An imaging system may have many individual components, including one or more lenses, and/or recording and display components. Each of these contributes (given suitable design, and adequate alignment) to the optical resolution of the system; the environment in which the imaging is done often is a further important factor. Resolution depends on the distance between two distinguishable radiating points.
Film frame
In filmmaking, video production, animation, and related fields, a frame is one of the many s which compose the complete moving picture. The term is derived from the historical development of film stock, in which the sequentially recorded single images look like a framed picture when examined individually. The term may also be used more generally as a noun or verb to refer to the edges of the image as seen in a camera viewfinder or projected on a screen. Thus, the camera operator can be said to keep a car in frame by panning with it as it speeds past.
Haute définition
La haute définition (HD) désigne une classification d'équipements de télédiffusion et de vidéo numérique ayant une définition d'au moins 1280 par (720p), puis 1920 par 1080 pixels (1080i et 1080p) et par la suite, 2560 par 1440 pixels (1440p). Elle est l'évolution du SDTV. Le terme HD s'étend à l'ensemble des techniques audiovisuelles numériques telles que le HDV (grand public), le HDCam, la télévision (DVB-T, DVB-S, DVB-C), les supports disque Blu-ray, HD DVD, l'enregistrement multimédia sur disque dur, ainsi qu'au stockage de données informatiques.
Image resolution
Image resolution is the level of detail an holds. The term applies to digital images, film images, and other types of images. "Higher resolution" means more image detail. Image resolution can be measured in various ways. Resolution quantifies how close lines can be to each other and still be visibly resolved. Resolution units can be tied to physical sizes (e.g. lines per mm, lines per inch), to the overall size of a picture (lines per picture height, also known simply as lines, TV lines, or TVL), or to angular subtense.
National Television System Committee
L'acronyme NTSC (National Television System Committee, signifiant en français « Comité du système national de télévision » désigne un standard international de codage couleur du signal vidéo analogique, finalisé en 1953 par les ingénieurs de plusieurs sociétés américaines, parmi lesquelles CBS Corporation et surtout les sociétés RCA et Philco. Aux États-Unis, le marque la première télédiffusion nationale en couleur au standard NTSC.
Analog television
Analog television (analogue television) is the original television technology that uses analog signals to transmit video and audio. In an analog television broadcast, the brightness, colors and sound are represented by amplitude, phase and frequency of an analog signal. Analog signals vary over a continuous range of possible values which means that electronic noise and interference may be introduced. Thus with analog, a moderately weak signal becomes snowy and subject to interference.
Télévision numérique
La télévision numérique ou télédiffusion numérique est une évolution technologique visant à progressivement se substituer à la télévision analogique. Les signaux vidéo, audio et des services multimédias éventuellement associés d'une ou plusieurs chaînes de télévision sont échantillonnés, traités et combinés pour être retransmis sous forme de flux de données binaires, de type informatique.
