A pack consists of a pack header followed by zero or communicate video over a packetized communication channel. Usually more packets. It is a layer in the system coding syntax. these techniques are designed to work in the presence of high packet jitter Pack Slip – A lateral slip of select tape windings causing high or low and packet loss. spots (when viewed with tape reel laying flat on one side) in an otherwise Packets – A term used in two contexts: in program streams, a packet is smooth tape pack. Pack slip can cause subsequent edge damage when a unit that contains one or more presentation units; in transport streams, the tape is played, as it will unwind unevenly and may make contact with a packet is a small, fixed size data quantum. the tape reel flange. Packing Density – The amount of digital information recorded along the Packed 24-Bit – A compression method where a graphics accelerator length of a tape measured in bit per inch (bpi). transfers more than one bit on each clock cycle, then reassembles the Padding – A method to adjust the average length of an audio frame in fragmented pixels. For example, some chips can transfer 8, 24-bit pixels time to the duration of the corresponding PCM samples, by continuously in three clocks instead of the four normally required, saving bandwidth. adding a slot to the audio frame. Packed Pixel – Color information for a pixel packed into one word of Page – Usually a block of 256 addresses. The lower eight bits of an memory data. For a system with few colors, this packed pixel may require address therefore specify the location within the page, while the upper only a part of one word of memory; for very elaborate systems, a packed eight bits specify the page. pixel might be several words long. See Planar Painter’s Algorithm – In traditional painting, paint is applied in layers, Packet – a) A unit of information sent across a (packet-switched) network. and the last paint applied is what is visible. Digitally, the last value placed A packet generally contains the destination address as well as the data in a pixel determines its color. to be sent. b) A packet consists of a header followed by a number of contiguous bytes from an elementary data stream. It is a layer in the Pairing – A partial or complete failure of interlace in which the scanning system coding syntax. lines of alternate fields do not fall exactly between one another but tend to fall (in pairs) one on top of the other. Packet Data – Contiguous bytes of data from an elementary data stream present in the packet. PAL – See Phase Alternate Line. Packet Identifier (PID) – a) MPEG-2 transmits transport stream data PAL 60 – This is a NTSC video signal that uses the PAL color subcarrier in packets of 188 bytes. At the start of each packet is a packet identifier frequency (about 4.43 MHz) and PAL-type color modulation. It is a further (PID). Since the MPEG-2 data stream might be in multi-program mode, adaptation of NTSC 4.43, modifying the color modulation in addition to the receiver has to decide which packets are part of the current channel changing the color subcarrier frequency.

Palette – a) The limited set of colors that a computer can simultaneously display. A typical palette contains 256 unique colors, chosen from over Packet Switched Network – Network that transmits data in units called 16 million possible colors. An “optimized palette” refers to a palette whose packets. The packets can be routed individually over the best available colors are chosen to best represent the original colors in a particular network connection and reassembled to form a complete message at the graphic or series of graphics. b) A central location for user-selectable destination. buttons, which you can map to various functions for ease of use.

Palette Flash – A phenomenon caused by simultaneously displaying more than one bitmap or video that do not share the same palette. 168168168 www.tektronix.com/video_audio Video Terms and Acronyms Glossary PALplus, PAL+ – PALplus (ITU-R BT.1197) is 16:9 aspect ratio version Parallel Data – Transmission of data bits in groups along a collection of of PAL, and is compatible with standard (B, D, G, H, I) PAL.

  • New Analog TV in a Digital World
    In a time during a recovery period in my life I needed to focus on something technical and not on my current issues and so I chose this and other topics to explore. Growing up with analog audio and video and the circuits used for them I've always appreciated the simplicity of well designed circuits using minimal parts and getting great performance out of them. A lost art much like early computer programming which required very efficient code to maximize performance and features, and so it is for analog circuits too, using the fewest parts to obtain the best performance. Well designed analog circuits will usually draw less power than their digital counterparts and are usually repairable, unlike today's electronic products that are thrown away when broken and end up in landfills. And so during this period the focus is on the various analog TV systems that have been used worldwide. New Analog TV in a Digital World In the U.S. NTSC-M was the first widespread Color TV system adopted and helped to spawn the other two versions, PAL & SÉCAM. Both these designs addressed the 'Never The Same Color' hue tracking issues of NTSC in different ways, but also introduced issues that NTSC doesn't have. Besides the hue tracking issues NTSC suffered from fuzzy images caused by insufficient video bandwidth for the number of scan lines used, i.e. non-square pixels. PAL & SÉCAM solved this by increasing the channel space by 33⅓% and lowering the frame rate by 16⅔%. The frame rate was not chosen to be the same as NTSC's choice of 30FPS which had to do with 60Hz AC line frequency but by the line frequency chosen in Europe of 50Hz for 25FPS, 60 not being a metric number.

  • Refresh Rate
    REFRESH RATE The refresh rate (or "vertical refresh rate", "vertical scan rate" for CRTs) is the number of times in a second that a display is illuminated. This is distinct from the measure of frame rate in that the refresh rate includes the repeated illumination of identical frames, while frame rate measures how often a display can change from one image to another. For example, a movie projector advances from one frame to the next 24 times each second. But each frame is illuminated twice before the next frame is projected. The result, the movie projector runs at 24 frames per second, but has a 48 hz refresh rate Cathode Ray Tubes In a CRT, the scan rate is controlled by the vertical sync signal generated by the video controller, ordering the monitor to position the electron gun at the upper left corner of the raster, ready to paint another frame. It is limited by the monitor's maximum horizontal scan rate and the resolution, since higher resolution means more scan lines. Increasing the refresh rate decreases flickering, reducing eye strain. The refresh rate can be calculated from the horizontal scan rate by dividing by the number of horizontal lines and multiplying the result by 0.95 (since about 5% of the time it takes to scan the screen is spent moving the electron gun back to the top). For instance, a monitor with a horizontal scanning frequency of 96 kHz at a resolution of 1280 ! 1024 a refresh rate of 96,000 / 1024 ! 0.95 = 89 Hz (rounded down).
