gamma
Consumer electronics; Video camera
Correction law introduced in the camera output signal to compensate for the non-linearity of the CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) in video monitors. A typical gamma value is 0.45, which ...
genlock
Consumer electronics; Video camera
Circuitry that synchronizes one video signal to another video signal. There are three types of genlock: V-lock, HV-lock and full color. • V-lock is useful when simply switching ...
hole accumulated diode (HAD)
Consumer electronics; Video camera
CCD technology with improved performance in spectral response, vertical smear and sensitivity. The HAD sensor also introduced a higher pixel count and electronic shuttering ...
high rate scanning
Consumer electronics; Video camera
Capability of a camera to output less than its maximum number of horizontal lines, but at a higher rate. Unlike partial scanning, the lines output in high rate scanning are ...
horizontal resolution
Consumer electronics; Video camera
Number of equally spaced vertical black-to-white or white-to-black transitions that the camera is able to reproduce, divided by the aspect ratio (usually 4:3) to make a comparison ...
horizontal drive (HD)
Consumer electronics; Video camera
Signal used to synchronize the line scan rate of the camera to an external source. Mostly used in B/W applications together with VD.
