W6( representing video) Flashcards
-_- Name Analog TV (history) in order?
There are 5.
1) NTSC
2) CRT
3) Resolution
4) Frame/ Field Rate
5) Colour TV
What is NTSC?
National Television Standards Committee (1952)
What is CRT ( cathode Ray Tube)
- Electron Gun sweeps the lines with phosphor dots
- Visibly flickers when you refresh it too slowly
What is resolution in analog tv?
- Resolution: 525 lines fully refreshed at 30 Hz (every 2 fields)
- Over-scanning: 525 lines reduced to 484 visible lines
- Aspect Ratio: 4:3 (screen width-to-height ratio)
What is the Frame/ field Rate in Analog TV?
30 [fully refreshed] frames per second (60
fields per second)
* Interlaced scan: scan 1 field at a time (for faster partial refresh)
* Fields: frames divided into 2 fields (e.g., odd # vs even #)
What is the color TV?
composite signal of luminance (the black-and-white
part) & chrominance (how different the colour is from gray)
(Critics: NTSC = “Never Twice the Same Colour”; PAL was an
improvement, so was SECAM)
What factors are no longer useful in analog television (history)?
1) CRTs
2) interlaced scan ( but remains in some surviving standards: 1080i vs 1080p)
3) progressive scan is the norm
4) no hidden line ( since there is no beam to move)
the difference between the old TVs and the new ones?
CRTs are not used anymore
* Interlaced scan is not needed (but remains in some surviving
standards: 1080i vs 1080p)
* Progressive scan is the norm
* No hidden lines are needed, since there is no beam to move
* Transmission and storage are digital
* So that compression can be used
* Resolution is much higher
* Colour was present in the new standards from the beginning
* New output devices have much higher accuracy
* High resolution requires more careful preparation
* More research on human perception exists
* High Dynamic Range techniques
what happened to the transmission and storage in todays TVs? And what will happen to compression?
Transmission and storage are digital, so
Compression can be used
What happen to the resolution in todays TVs?
- Resolution is much higher
what is the place of the color in todays TVs?
- Colour was present in the new standards from the beginning
what happened to the new output devices accuracy?
- New output devices have much higher accuracy
- High resolution requires more careful preparation
- More research on human perception exists
- High Dynamic Range techniques
virtual reality
“Immersive” technologies
* External: CAVE
* Head-mounted displays
* Images change with head
movements/rotations to always
show proper perspective
what are the challenges of the virtual reality ?
- Processing power
- More complex hardware
- Images need to be generated
much faster than for movies - Delays cause motion sickness
- Cannot be used for too long
what the fuck is the video?
Comprised of frames of still images (combined with audio)
* When viewed in rapid succession, the images give the
appearance of motion
* Typical frame rates are 24–30 frames per second to 60 fp
what is the aspect ratio of the video?
16:9 typically
what are the resolution of video?
1) 4096* 2160 pixels, 4K
2) 1920* 1080 Full HD
3) 1280720, HD
4) 853480, SD
How much space uncompressed video occupied?
vast storage space. more than 100 MB per second for Full HD
Note: compression techniques are almost always used
p= progressive
i= interlaced
what are the techniques for video compression?
1) spatial (intra-frame)
2) temporal (inter-frame)
