B = c v r + b B: light intensity c: gain factor b: cutoff (camera) or black level (CRT) light intensity r: 1 ~ 3.0 To avoid gamma correction circuitry inside millions of TV receivers, gamma correction is done prior to transmission. Ex. Assuming the gamma of camera to be 1 and that of the display to be 2.2, then the camera voltage is raised to a power of 1/2.2 = 0.45. @NTUEE 21 DSP/IC Lab Human visual system ■ The retina consists of receptors sensitive to light called photoreceptors connected by nerve cells.

Box 9106 • Norwood, MA 02062-9106 • 781/329-4700 • World Wide Web Site: http://www.analog.com Video Glossary 0H The reference point of horizontal sync. Synchronization at a video interface is achieved by associat- ing a line sync datum, 0H, with every scan line. In analog video, sync is conveyed by voltage levels “blacker than black”. 0H is defined by the 50% point of the leading (or falling) edge of sync. In component digital video, sync is conveyed using digital codes 0 and 255 outside the range of the picture information. 0V The reference point of vertical (field) sync. In both NTSC and PAL systems the normal sync pulse for a horizontal line is 4.7 µs. Vertical sync is identified by broad pulses, which are serrated in order for a receiver to maintain horizontal sync even during the vertical sync interval. The start of the first broad pulse identifies the field sync datum, 0V. 1-H Horizontal scan line interval, usually 64 µs. 100/0/75/7.5 Short form for color bar signal levels, usually describing 4 amplitude levels. 1st number: white amplitude 2nd number: black amplitude 3rd number: white amplitude from which color bars are derived. 4th number: black amplitude from which color bars are derived. In this example: 75% color bars with 7.5 % setup in which the white bar has been set to 100% and the black to 0%. 100% Amplitude, 100% Saturation Common reference for 100/7.5/100/7.5 NTSC color bars.

  • Dirac Specification
    Dirac Specification Version 2.2.3 Issued: September 23, 2008 Abstract This document is the specification of the Dirac video decoder and stream syntax. Dirac is a royalty-free video compression system developed by the BBC utilising wavelet transforms and motion compensation. It is designed to be simple, flexible, yet highly effective. It can operate across a wide range of resolutions and application domains, including: internet and mobile streaming, delivery of standard-definition and high-definition television, digital television and cinema production and distribution, and low-power devices and embedded applications. The system offers several key features: • lossy and lossless coding using a common tool set • intra-coded modes for professional production applications • a special low delay mode for link adaption applications, such as the carriage of HDTV over SDTV infrastructure • motion-compensated (‘long-GOP’) modes for distribution applications • gradual quality reduction with increasing compression CONTENTS 1 Contents 1 Introduction 9 2 Scope 9 3 Conformance notation 11 4 Normative References 11 5 Definition of abbreviations and terms 12 5.1 Abbreviations .............................................. 12 5.2 Terms .................................................. 12 6 Conventions 14 6.1 State representation .......................................... 14 6.2 Number formats ............................................ 14 6.3 Data types ............................................... 14 6.3.1 Elementary data types ....................................
