GLOssARY aNaLoGUE | transmission standard for signals via a network, e.g. for telephone lines, as opposed to digital. representation of a physical phenomenon with the aid of a signal in a form equivalent to continuous variation, in contrast to the discontinuous variations of a digital signal. to summarize, analogue, the form of wave created, is materialized by an electrical signal in a form equivalent to continuous variation. BaNDWIDtH | one of the characteristics of the devices that process or transmit signals. the bandwidth is the range of frequencies that the device can transmit without weakening the signal. the width of the bandwidth is generally expressed in kilohertz (kHz) or megahertz (mHz). the bandwidth in television is 5.5 mHz. Within the context of media digitization, the bandwidth is increasingly expressed in terms of the quantity of digital data transferred per second, typically in mb/s. the digital television networks via satellite generally send an mpEG-2 signal of 4-6 mb/s, while the bandwidth in the professional EvS equipment is 50-100 mb/s. a particularly important characteristic in the audiovisual chain, the bandwidth is the quality gauge for its global performance. It expresses the capacity of a channel to transmit a stream of information. BroaDcaSt, BroaDcaStING | Broadcast, televise, transmit, televised program. By extension, this term designates the television industry. Broadcasters are all the companies in charge of producing and broadcasting programs. coDEc | Equipment or software which translates analogue sounds or recorded videos into digital data. for the transmission of this information to take up the least possible bandwidth, codec also performs the function of data compression, without altering the original signal, of course. coNvErGENcE | Digitization brings the worlds of telecommunications, media and information technologies closer together. the different types of networks (cable, hertzian, computer terminals, television) will be used to transport and process information and services (image, sound, computer data). terms of reference for Electronic communications committee, cEpt, European agreements of Bergen, September 21, 2001. DIGItaL | method of coding in a binary system (basis 2) enabling the transformation and compression of images and sound into computer data (thanks to the coding of information in the form of series of “0” and “1” in a very precise order), which provides for better transmission. the image is sharper and the sound has a laser quality. DIGItaL comprESSIoN | this is a method that makes it possible to reduce the space taken up by a digital file while protecting all the information contained in it. this enables satellite retransmission capacities to be multiplied by 8 to 10 times while reducing the volume of the information transmitted. It is digital compression that enables the carrying of close to 10 networks on one channel which received only one beforehand. In contrast, decompression is the transition of binary data to audio and/or video signals. DIGItaL tELEvISIoN | type of television where the signals are processed in digital form throughout the image chain, from the camera sensor to the tv viewer’s receiver: production, transmission, broadcasting, reception and storage are digital. EDItING | production stage in cinema, television and video in the course of which the filmed or recorded material is viewed, divided into parts and sequences, cut and recomposed to form the final version. the compiling of these shot images results in the production of a film or television program. Editing can be linear, where the sequences follow each other chronologically on the magnetic carrier, or non-linear, where the sequences are directly accessible on the digital carrier. HIGH DEfINItIoN (HD) | New broadcasting tv format which significantly increases picture quality. HD images offer a higher amount of pixels per image (about 2 millions) than the traditional image in standard definition (about 400,000). INtEractIvE tELEvISIoN | this is a term generally used to describe enhanced television (interactive content provided by specific tv programs), interactive program guides (IpG), video tape recorders (pvr) and walled gardens (“jardins murés” – closed interactive services). 32 JpEG (Joint photographic Expert Group) | Group of experts responsible for developing a compression format for natural images. It is the name given to an algorithm used for the compression of digital images. compression is carried out by applying a single tone to colors that are very close. this limits losses in the resolution of the graphic image. the method is mainly used for the production of programs. mpEG (moving picture Experts Group) | Group of experts responsible for developing a video compression format (animated and audio images). the special feature of the current standards, mpEG-2 and mpEG-4, is that they cover all multimedia applications (telecommunications, audio, still and animated images, interactive applications) and associated carriers (magnetic tapes, compact disks, computers, televisions). the mpEG-2 standard, designed for digital television and adopted in 1994, reduces the size of the image files in the ratio of 1/15 to 1/40. It, too, covers all multimedia applications (telecommunications, audio, still and animated images, Interactive applications) and associated carriers (magnetic tapes, compact disks, computers, televisions). mXf (material EXchange format) | a file format from the pro-mpEG forum for the interchange of video production information. mXf files include audio/video content and related metadata. oUtSIDE BroaDcaSt (oB) | pooling of each program transmitted or recorded outside a studio complex, mainly from “production cars” or “oB vans” equipped with cables, monitors and servers. vIDEo comprESSIoN | compression of image sequences. the video compression algorithms take advantage of the fact that there are only a few changes during the transition of an “image” to a text. they therefore only need to code the initial image and the sequence of differences between the images. this is what is known as inter-image or 3D coding.
