- Company Profile:
Tektronix provides test and measurement instruments, solutions and services for the computer, semiconductor, military/aerospace, consumer electronics and education industries worldwide.
Hard-wired (or random) logic design solutions require interconnection of numerous integrated circuits representing the logic elements.
The function of the circuit is determined by the functional blocks and their interconnections, rather than by a program.
Industry:Software
The number of colours in a display system that can be displayed on the screen at one time. This number is limited by the circuitry of the display adapter, and is often much smaller than the number of colours the display device can actually support. The number of simultaneous colours a display adapter supports is normally determined by the number of colour planes, or bits per pixel, that it uses. For example, a device with 4 bits per pixel supports 16 simultaneous colors.

A texture map is a 2D image that can be created with a paint programme such as AVA3 or TIPS, or scanned into a frame buffer from a video source, and then mapped onto the surface of a 3D object. ADO effects are a simple, real-time, on-line version of this general process.

Refers to the width of recording tape, varying from 0.150" in cassette tape to 2.0" for video, mastering and instrumentation tapes. The size of the picture in a horizontal direction.
Industry:Software
One of the three types of frames used in the coded MPEG-2 signal. The frame in an MPEG sequence created by predicting the difference between the current frame and the previous one.
P-frames contain much less data than the I frames and so help toward the low data rates that can be achieved with the MPEG signal. To see the original picture corresponding to a P-frame, a whole MPEG-2 GOP has to be decoded.

A) The property of colour which relates to the amount of white light in the color. Highly saturated colours are vivid, while less saturated colours appear pastel. For example, red is highly saturated while pink is the same hue but much less saturated. b) In signal terms, saturation is determined by the ratio between luminance level and chrominance amplitude. It should be noted that a vectorscope does not display saturation; the length of the vectors represents chrominance amplitude. In order to verify that the saturation of the colours in a colour bar signal is correct, you must cheque luminance amplitudes with a waveform monitor in addition to observing the vectors. c) The amount of gray, as opposed to hue, in a color. See Hue.

Authorizations granted to FM broadcasters for using subcarriers on their channels for other communications services.
Industry:Software
The process of creating extra data from an incoming video stream to increase the image size by interpolating or replicating data before placing it into memory.
Industry:Software
This method uses algebraic equations (usually polynomials) to define shapes and surfaces. The user can build and modify complex objects by combining and modifying simple algebraic primitive shapes.
Industry:Software
Also called thermal noise, a transmission or recording impairment that manifests itself as snow in a picture and hiss in sound. A number of techniques have been developed to reduce random noise in a picture through signal averaging.
