Block of successive memory locations that is accessible from one end on a last-in-first-out basis (LIFO). For most processors, the stack may be an block of successive locations in the read/write memory.
Industry:Software
A multiplex of several programme streams that are carried in packets. Demultiplexing is achieved by different packet IDs (PIDs).
See PSI, PAT, PMT, and PCR.
Industry:Software
An excessive response to a unidirectional signal change.
Sharp overshoots are sometimes referred to as “spikes.”
Industry:Software
Used to provide the source current for open-collector and three-state logic gates or a termination for unused inputs. Pulls the voltage level up when no other device is driving the line.
Industry:Software
In order to look solid, a polygon must be “shaded” with color.
This happens when the polygon is rendered. There are several ways to shade a polygon. These have varying degrees of realism and cost. A polygon’s shading depends on its surface properties, the properties and location of the lights with which it is lit. The shading methods (types) available on PictureMaker are constant, flat, Gouraud, and Phong. The latter two are “smooth” shading types.
Industry:Software
A mechanism for controlling the movement of magnetic tape, commonly used to move magnetic tape past a read head or write head, or to allow automatic rewinding.
Industry:Software
A rectangular subregion of the video image that is displayed using local decode. See Local Decode.
Industry:Software
A) Random noise which has equal energy per octave throughout the audio spectrum. b) A type of noise whose amplitude is inversely proportional to frequency over a specified range. Pink noise is characterised by a flat amplitude response per octave band of frequency (or any constant percentage bandwidth), i.e., it has equal energy, or constant power, per octave. Pink noise can be created by passing white noise through a philtre having a 3 dB/octave slope.
Industry:Software
To return a register or other computer word to its initial or preselected value.
Industry:Software
Contains the address of the top of the stack. In general, the stack pointer is decremented immediately following the storage in the stack of each byte of information. Conversely, the stack pointer is incremented immediately before retrieving each byte of information from the stack.
