Active-pixel sensor
An active-pixel sensor (APS) is an image sensor, which was invented by Peter J.W. Noble in 1968, where each pixel sensor unit cell has a photodetector (typically a pinned photodiode) and one or more active transistors.
See Weisscam and Active-pixel sensor
Color correction
Color correction is a process used in stage lighting, photography, television, cinematography, and other disciplines, which uses color gels, or filters, to alter the overall color of the light.
See Weisscam and Color correction
Company
A company, abbreviated as co., is a legal entity representing an association of legal people, whether natural, juridical or a mixture of both, with a specific objective.
Demosaicing
Demosaicing (or de-mosaicing, demosaicking), also known as color reconstruction, is a digital image processing algorithm used to reconstruct a full color image from the incomplete color samples output from an image sensor overlaid with a color filter array (CFA) such as a Bayer filter.
Digital camera
A digital camera, also called a digicam, is a camera that captures photographs in digital memory.
See Weisscam and Digital camera
Digital image processing
Digital image processing is the use of a digital computer to process digital images through an algorithm.
See Weisscam and Digital image processing
Digital Visual Interface
Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video display interface developed by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG).
See Weisscam and Digital Visual Interface
Field-programmable gate array
A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is a type of configurable integrated circuit that can be repeatedly programmed after manufacturing.
See Weisscam and Field-programmable gate array
Frame rate
Frame rate, most commonly expressed in or FPS, is typically the frequency (rate) at which consecutive images (frames) are captured or displayed.
Hard disk drive
A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk is an electro-mechanical data storage device that stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage with one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with magnetic material.
See Weisscam and Hard disk drive
High-speed camera
A high-speed camera is a device capable of capturing moving images with exposures of less than second or frame rates in excess of 250 frames per second.
See Weisscam and High-speed camera
IEEE 1394
IEEE 1394 is an interface standard for a serial bus for high-speed communications and isochronous real-time data transfer.
ITU-R
The ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) is one of the three sectors (divisions or units) of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and is responsible for radio communications.
Multi-core processor
A multi-core processor is a microprocessor on a single integrated circuit with two or more separate processing units, called cores (for example, dual-core or quad-core), each of which reads and executes program instructions.
See Weisscam and Multi-core processor
Photographic film
Photographic film is a strip or sheet of transparent film base coated on one side with a gelatin emulsion containing microscopically small light-sensitive silver halide crystals.
See Weisscam and Photographic film
Photography
Photography is the art, application, and practice of creating images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.
Post-production
Post-production is part of the process of filmmaking, video production, audio production, and photography.
See Weisscam and Post-production
PowerPC
PowerPC (with the backronym Performance Optimization With Enhanced RISC – Performance Computing, sometimes abbreviated as PPC) is a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA) created by the 1991 Apple–IBM–Motorola alliance, known as AIM.
Processor Technology
Processor Technology Corporation was a personal computer company founded in April 1975, by Gary Ingram and Bob Marsh in Berkeley, California.
See Weisscam and Processor Technology
Raw image format
A camera raw image file contains unprocessed or minimally processed data from the image sensor of either a digital camera, a motion picture film scanner, or other image scanner.
See Weisscam and Raw image format
Remote control
In electronics, a remote control (also known as a remote or clicker) is an electronic device used to operate another device from a distance, usually wirelessly.
See Weisscam and Remote control
SATA
SATA (Serial AT Attachment) is a computer bus interface that connects host bus adapters to mass storage devices such as hard disk drives, optical drives, and solid-state drives.
Serial digital interface
Serial digital interface (SDI) is a family of digital video interfaces first standardized by SMPTE (The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) in 1989.
See Weisscam and Serial digital interface
Shutter speed
In photography, shutter speed or exposure time is the length of time that the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light (that is, when the camera's shutter is open) when taking a photograph.
See Weisscam and Shutter speed
Sports photography
Sports photography refers to the genre of photography that covers all types of sports.
See Weisscam and Sports photography
Television advertisement
A television advertisement (also called a commercial, spot, break, advert, or ad) is a span of television programming produced and paid for by an organization.
See Weisscam and Television advertisement
Video camera
A video camera is an optical instrument that captures videos, as opposed to a movie camera, which records images on film.
YCbCr
YCbCr, Y′CbCr, or Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr, also written as YCBCR or Y′CBCR, is a family of color spaces used as a part of the color image pipeline in video and digital photography systems.
