Welcome

Thank you for reviewing Studio DV. We hope that you will enjoy learning about this product as much as we, at Pinnacle Systems enjoyed creating it. This guide was created to highlight some of the key features and differences of Studio DV.

Ease of Setup:Studio DV is based on an IEE1394/FireWire PCI board. FireWire makes getting audio and video in and out of the PC extremely easy. Simply connect a single FireWire cable from your camcorder to your PC, and you're ready to go!

Low Disk Space RequirementsOne hour of DV video requires 13 GB of disk storage space. With most DV solution this forces you to pick and choose which clips to capture - essentially you have to edit your video manually before you can edit it on your PC. Studio DV SmartCapture makes it possible to capture an entire DV tape at preview quality, in as little as 160 MB of disk space. The preview quality video can be used to build your movie and preview the effects. When you are ready to finish your movie, Studio DV automatically re-captures the scenes you have included in your movie at full DV quality

Studio DV Technology

Studio DV’s unique capabilities are made possible by a combination of proprietary Pinnacle Systems technologies and cutting edge third party technologies.

Studio DV Hardware Technology

Studio DV includes an internal PCI bus IEEE 1394/FireWire adapter board based on the Texas Instruments chip set. IEE1394/FireWire offers high-speed data transfers of up to 400 Mbs per second, and plug and play hot swappable connectivity. IEEE1394/FireWrie ports are found on all DV camcorders and VCRs. In addition, it is expected that 1394 equipped scanners, printers and disk drives will be announced by a number of vendors before year's end.

Studio DV Software Technology

SmartCapture: Studio DV SmartCapture makes it possible to capture an entire DV tape at preview quality, in as little as 160 MB of disk space. The preview quality video can be used to build a movie and preview the effects. When users are ready to finish their movie, Studio DV automatically re-captures the scenes included in the movie, at full DV quality

Instant Preview: Studio DV gives users instant feedback as they edit. At any time the movie being edited may be viewed by clicking the play button in the Studio DV play back window. Unlike other PC based non linear editing software, Studio DV never requires the user to wait while it renders a preview. The ability to instantly view your results increases creativity and speeds work.

Automatic Scene Detection: As the video is captured, Studio DV automatically detects each scene change on the tape. A scene change is typically a point where the camera was stopped or paused during shooting. Studio DV remembers the exact point on the tape where each scene begins and ends, and creates a separate thumbnail in the video album for each scene.

Intelligent Rendering: Studio DV saves users time and disk space when it is time to output their creation to video tape. Unlike other video editing programs, Studio DV does not re-render the entire movie. Instead only the effects - titles and transitions are rendered. In addition Studio DV allows users to combine multiple capture files in a single project, so that the duration of the movie is not constrained by the video for windows 2 GB file limit.

Studio DV Third Party Technology

Microsoft DirectShow: DirectShow is the successor to Microsoft’s Video for Windows architecture. Video for Windows was designed primarily for playback of digital video on PCs. Unfortunately Video for Windows was not designed with editing video in mind and suffered from many drawbacks in this regard. DirectShow was designed for video editing and solves Video for Windows limitations. Studio is the first video editing application written from the ground up for DirectShow. Among other benefits, DirectShow makes Studio DV’s Instant Preview possible

Sonic Desktop SmartSound: One of the challenges video editors face is matching background music duration to the length of the video. The editor must either find a piece of music that exactly matches the duration of his video scenes, or edit the duration of his scenes to fit the length of the music. Studio DV solves this problem using Sonic Desktops SmartSound technology. SmartSound allows the user to select the scenes that need music, then choose from a variety of musical styles. SmartSound automatically generates a piece of music of the required duration.

Digital Video Editing Market Overview

Over the past decade, consumer media storage technology has undergone a shift from analog to digital. Vinyl records have been replaced with Compact Disks, 35mm camera film is being replaced by flash memory cards and other digital media for digital cameras, and now analog video tape (VHS, 8mm etc) is being replaced by digital video tape.

Digital media storage offers 3 distinct advantages over analog storage; Durability - analog media has a limited life span. The very act of playing an analog audio record or video tape

degrades the media, reducing the quality of subsequent playings. With digital media, the content is not tied to the physical condition of the media. The information is stored as a series of 1s and 0s , which the wear and tear of normal playback doesn't alter or degrade.

Lossless Copy - Analog media is susceptible to generation loss. Each time a copy of the original is made a little of the information is lost. A copy of video tape (a second generation tape) will look almost as good as the original. But a copy of the copy ( a third generation tape) will look noticeably worse than the original to the point that many viewers will find it unacceptable. On the other hand digital information can be copied at will over as many generations as desired with no quality loss at all - each copy contains exactly the same 1s and 0s as the original.

PC Friendly - Digital data is already stored in the format PCs are designed to process. There is no need to convert or digitize the information to bring it into the PC.

The major camcorder manufacturers introduced the DV camcorder format in 1997. This year Sony introduced a variant format called Digital8. Both DV and Digital8 encode and compress the video data in exactly the same way. The only difference is the storage medium. Digital8 camcorders use standard Hi8 video cassettes, while DV camcorders use a new, smaller tape cassette known as MiniDV.

When first introduced, digital camcorders were quite expensive - most models were $1500 or more. In the past year digital camcorders have become quite affordable, with some units available for less than $700. Digital camcorders offer unparalleled image quality, small size and easy PC connectivity via the built in IEEE 1394/FireWire port. The combination of cutting edge features, and affordable prices has spurred rapid consumer acceptance of digital camcorders. EIA/CEM forecasts that 25% of all camcorders sold in 1999 will be digital, and that market share for digital camcorders will jump to 40% in 2000

According to the Electronics Industries Association (EIA) yearly sales of camcorders in the United States have grown from 500,000 units in 1985 to over 3.7 million units (projected) in 1998. Total camcorder ownership in the US is currently over 32 million households.

Digital still cameras have inspired consumers to bring images onto their PCs, manipulate them and then share them with others in a variety of ways including via email and the internet.

Digital camcorders stand poised to do the same for moving video images. Many companies from Fortune 100 companies, to smaller leading edge companies have released or announced products targeted at consumer video editing.

Studio DV stands alone in this marketplace as a low cost, complete, easy to use video tape editing solution that delivers professional quality results. Studio DV is the ideal consumer entry level editing system.

A Tour through Studio DV

In this tour, you’ll be oriented to using the user interface and editing movies. Once you know the basics, learning the details is much easier.

Editing with Studio DV requires threes steps – Capture, Edit and Make Movie. The first step of editing is to capture your original footage from your camcorder tape.

Capturing Video

The following sections explain what happens during capture, and guides you through a capture session from start to finish.

During video capture, digital video data is transferred from your source tape to your PC’s hard drive. After the video is captured, the Studio software performs automatic scene detection, and populates the Album with scenes. Studio DV offers two choices for capture settings: Full-quality, or Preview-quality.

SmartCapture (Preview-quality capture)SmartCapture is a unique feature of Studio DV. It allows you to capture digital videotape in a reduced-quality file so that you use minimal hard drive space. Using SmartCapture, you can capture an entire tape onto your hard drive, instead of picking and choosing which video clips to capture. Scenes captured at Preview-quality are denoted in the Album with a yellow background. You can use this Preview-quality video to build and preview yourmovie. When you are ready to make your finished movie, Studio DV will recapture the scenes included in your movie at full DV quality. Studio DV will control your camcorder to seek to and capture the desired video clips. TheReduced quality of the preview video, therefore, has no effect on the quality of your finished movie.

Full-quality captureThis is a high resolution capture. The video is captured at the same resolution and data rate as it is stored on the DV tape. This is the same quality as your final tape. DV has a data rate of 3.6 MB/s. Due to that high data rate, capturing at this setting does take quite a bit of disk space. You may want to pick and choose selected segments to capture instead of the entire tape. Calculate in advance the amount of disk space you will need by multiplying the length of your video (in seconds) by 3.6 MB. For example:1 hour of video = (60 seconds x 60 minutes) = 3600 seconds.3600 seconds x 3.6 = 12,960 MB or 12.9 GB of hard drive space.

The first time you capture at full-quality, Studio will test your drive to make sure it is fast enough. In order to allow a margin for drive speed fluctuations. Studio requires your hard drive be capable of a sustained reading and writing at 4 MB per second. All SCSI and most UDMA drives are capable of this.

13

Page 14: 10

Studio DV Reviewers Guide Page 14

To capture video:

1. Verify the source video is connected to one of the Studio DV jacks. Studio DV has multiple jacks to allow for capturing from more than one DV device. The jacks are bi-directional. They are capable of video-in and video-out.

2. Click the Capture button in the Movie menu bar. The Capture Mode interface is displayed.

3. Select Capture setting. Remember that Full-quality capture uses a greater amount of disk space

4. Click the Start Capture button . The Capture Video dialog box is displayed.

5. Type in a name for your source video

6. Enter the duration for this capture. Note that Video for Windows does not allow captures larger than 2GB. Studio will calculate the duration of video that will fill 2GB at the selected capture setting, and display this as the maximum duration for this capture.

7. Click the Start Capture button in the Capture Video dialog box.

8. During capture, the Preview window displays the incoming video that is being saved to your hard drive.

9. Click the Stop Capture button to end capture at a point you select (the Start Capture button toggles to a Stop Capture button while you are capturing video).

10. Studio automatically stops capturing if your hard drive fills up or when the duration you entered is reached.

11. Studio will perform Automatic Scene Detection based on your setting in the SmartCapture Options dialog box (Setup > Capture).

For more information on capturing video please refer, to Chapter 5, Capturing Video, of the Studio DV Users Guide

Editing Your Movie

Editing is you chance to be creative. In Edit mode you choose the video scenes you like, arrange them in the order that will tell your story, and enhance your movie with titles, transitions, music and other special effects.

The following section will walk you through the process of building a movie, and let you try out most of studio editing and effects features.

Using the Video Scenes Album

What is a Scene?

When Studio captures video from a tape, it digitizes a low-resolution version of the video and saves it to your hard drive. At the same time, Studio subdivides the captured video into smaller units called “scenes.” Scene detection is based on large changes in luminance, such as when you cut or pan your camera.

1. If the video your captured is not already displayed in the Album, click on the drop down menu at the top of the album and select the file

2. Double click the first scene.

The scenes play sequentially in the Preview window. You also hear the audio track from your speakers. As the scenes play, they are selected in purple. In addition, a progress indicator at the bottom of each scene thumbnail in the Album indicates your current position. Click the Play/Pause button if you want to stop.

3. Verify the Movie window is set to the Storyboard mode. If not click the Storyboard View button.

4. Select a scene from the album.

5. Click-hold on the selected scene and drag it from the Album to the Storyboard.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to add a few more scenes to the storyboard

For more information on working with Video Scenes please refer to Chapter 6, Adding and Adjusting Scenes, of the Studio DV Users Guide

Adding Transitions

Without a transition, one scene begins abruptly after the previous one ends. This is called a “cut.” Transitions provide better ways to control scene changes and eliminate cuts. In this step, you will add several common transitions.

1. Click the Transitions tab at the left side of the Album.

2. Click on a Transition to select it.

The Player Preview window shows an animation of the Transition effect.

3. Drag the Transition to the Storyboard and drop it between the first two scenes.

4. Click the To Start button on the Player, then click the Play button to view the results.

The video commences. The first scene will play, then the transition to the second scene will occur. This is an example of Studio DV’s Instant Preview technology. In all currently available video editing programs you would have had to wait for the preview to render. To view the effect again, click To Start and Play again. To view the effect slowly, click the To Start button again, and click-hold the One Frame Forward (“+”) button.)

15

Studio DV Reviewers Guide Page 16

For more information on working with Transitions please refer to Chapter 8, Adding and Using Transitions, of the Studio DV Users Guide

Using the Timeline ViewThe Storyboard view is handy for quickly laying the sequence of events for a movie. To adjust the duration and timing of events, use the Timeline view.

To display the Timeline and adjust the Timescale:

1. Click the Timeline view button in the Movie window menu bar.

At first, the clips on the Timeline appear very close together. The default Timescale assumes a “normal” movie length. Our example is short; the scale needs adjustment to make the clips easier to work on.

2. Position your pointer on the Timescale, until the pointer becomes a clock symbol with left and right arrows indicating you may adjust the time scale.

3. Click-drag the Timescale to the right and expand the Timescale as shown below. Try slowly moving it right and left a little at a time to become accustomed to the “rubber-band” feel.

To add a Scene and a Transition in Timeline View:

1. Click on the Video Scene Album tab to display the video scenes.

2. Drag the first scene from the right Album page to the end of the Timeline.

At first, you may receive a “no go” symbol. You may need to play around a bit to get the feel of it by gradually moving to the right until the cursor comes into contact with the right edge of the Movie window.

Just drag a little more to the right and the Timeline slides to the left, providing you room into which you may now drop the scene by releasing the mouse button.

Trimming scenes and transitions on the TimelineLong clips can be trimmed to shorten them. In doing so, no data is lost—you are only setting a new start (“in”) or end (“out”) points that are easily reset.

To trim a scene on the Timeline:

It may take you a moment to become accustomed to the feel of manipulating the edges of clips.

1. Select the first scene on the Timeline.

The scene turns purple to indicate it is selected.

2. Move your pointer in the vicinity of the right edge of the first clip until the grabber hand becomes a left-right arrow.

3. Once the left-right arrow is displayed, click-hold the mouse button and drag the edge of the first clip a little to the left.

As you do so, all the clips to the right follow along to the left. The first time you do this, you may be surprised by the large amount of clip movement that results from a small amount of cursor movement. But once you practice a few times, it seems very natural. If you are not able to move the right edge of the first clip, make sure that it is still selected.

For more information on Studio DV's Timeline view please refer to Chapter 6, Adding and Adjusting Scenes, of the Studio DV Users Guide

Adding an overlay titleStudio DV offers powerful capabilities for creating titles and inserting still images into your movie. Studio DV’s title capabilities are based on Type Deko - Pinnacle Systems professional broadcast character generator.

There are two types of titles. Overlay titles are text or graphics that are superimposed over the moving video of a scene. Full Screen titles consist of text and graphics with a solid background. The following steps show how to add an overlay title

To add a title or graphic, you’ll use a new area of Studio DV called TitleDeko. While doing the following steps, keep in mind that Studio DV has unlimited Undo. If you encounter different results than the following steps, Undo your way back.

To create a title:

1. Select a scene on the Timeline.

1. Double click on the Title Overlay track, which is just below the video track.

2. The Titler window opens to a powerful new interface for creating graphics.

You might want to take a moment to orient yourself by mousing over the various buttons to see the Tool Tips.

Making Your Movie

Once you’re finished fine tuning your movie, you are ready to share your creation with the world. Studio DV gives you a variety of ways to share your video creation:• Output your movie to videotape• Save your movie as an AVI file• Save your movie as an MPEG file• Save your movie as a RealVideo file

The following section describes the process for outputting your movie to video tape. For information on Studio DVs other publishing options please refer to Chapter 11, Making You Movie, of the Studio DV Users Guide

CONNECTING THE DEVICESAssuming you have not disconnected your DV camcorder from the Studio DV board, you are ready to output your movie to DV tape.

Optionally you may want to connect an analog VCR to make a VHS or S-VHS tape of your movie, and/or a TV or video monitor for viewing your finished movie.

Connecting a VHS or S-VHS (analog) VCRWhen you want to record your movie on standard (VHS or S-VHS) videotape, connect the video and audio outputs of your DV camcorder to the audio and video inputs of your analog VCR

Connecting a TV set/video monitorTo view the recorded footage, connect the video and audio outputs of your DV camcorder to the audio and video inputs of your TV/video monitor. If you have already connected an analog VCR to your DV camcorder as described above, connect the video and audio outputs of the analog VCR to the audio and video inputs of your TV/video monitor instead.

Outputting your movie to video tape

Click the Make Movie button on the main menu bar. The portion of the screen above the Movie window changes to display the Make Movie window, with the controls needed to make a videotape or digital movie.Check that your DV camcorder/VCR is connected and ready to record your movie.

• If your movie includes clips that were captured clips in Preview quality, Studio will prompt you to load your source tape(s) in your DV camcorder/VCR. Studio will re-capture those clips at full resolution.• Studio then renders any transitions and titles you’ve added to the movie.• When Studio has completed its batch capture and Intelligent Rendering, the Status window will indicate that your movie is ready for output.

Here are the steps to make your movie.

1. Click the Make Video file button:

2. Click the Create button . Since your video is being recaptured at full-DV quality (which requires 3.6 MB of disk space per second), you will need approximately 220 MB of free disk space for every minute of your finished movie. Prior to recapturing your footage, Studio will notify you if you do not have sufficient disk space. If this should occur, you have the option of selecting a different hard disk, or freeing up the required disk space by moving or deleting files.

3. If you have used Preview-quality clips, this is when Studio displays a dialog box prompting you to insert the original DV tape(s) into your DV camcorder/VCR

4. Studio then re-captures full DV-quality clips to replace the Preview-quality clips. Its good practice to slide the record-inhibit tab (also known as write/ protect tab) on your master tapes to “Save” to ensure there’s no accidental recording over original material.

Note: SmartCapture relies on continuous, uninterrupted timecode to recapture your clips. If your original tapes have multiple sections of discontinuous timecode, each section was captured as a separate file. Before it can recapture your clips, Studio will prompt you to cue the tape to that section where the clip is recorded.

To help you recognize the correct section of tape, the Preview window will display an image of the first frame of the section which contains that clip. When you have cued to the correct section, Studio will recapture all required clips from that section. If you followed the naming convention suggested in Chapter 5, Capturing Video, Studio will proceed to the next section of tape and repeat the process until all required clips from that source tape have been recaptured. Not following the naming convention results in changing source tapes much more often.

When Studio recaptures your clips, it will capture about 1 second of extra footage at the start and end of your clip. Studio automatically trims each clip to match the exact start and end points you chose for your movie, but this extra captured footage allows you to adjust start and end points of each clip if you happen to change your mind after recapturing. You can do this either on the Timeline or by using the Change Clip Properties Tool.

5. Studio begins Intelligent Rendering, which renders only the parts of your movie where you have added effects (wipes, dissolves, title overlays, etc.). Intelligent Rendering saves you time and disk space Intelligent Rendering is entirely automatic, except that you may be asked to insert another audio CD which is part of your movie. During Intelligent Rendering, Studio gives you complete feedback on the status of the process. It tells you what part of the Intelligent Rendering process it is performing via messages in the Status window.

6. A Status window message will inform you that Intelligent Rendering is complete, and Studio DV will prepare for output to your camcorder or DV VCR. This takes a few seconds.

7. Verify that the DV camcorder/VCR is powered on, and that you have inserted a tape cued to where you wish to begin recording. You now have two options:

If you want to record your movie on a DV tape, Studio gives you the option to automatically Start and Stop Recording on your DV camcorder/VCR. Check the Send Record to DV Device to enable this function, then click the Play button in the Player window.

If you want to record your movie on a standard (VHS or S-VHS) tape, put your VCR into Record, then Click the Play button in the Player window and watch your movie output through your DV device to videotape.

8. Once Studio DV has recorded your movie to video tape you may rewind the tape and play it back

Congratulations – you are now an experienced video editor!

Glossary

ADPCMAcronym for Adaptive Delta Pulse Code Modulation. It is a method of storing audio information in a digital format, and is the audio encoding and compression method used in CD-I and CD-ROM production.AliasingAn inaccurate display of an image due to the limitations of the output device. Typically, aliasing appears in the form of jagged edges along curves and angled shapes.Anti-aliasingA method of smoothing out jagged edges in bitmap images. This is usually accomplished by shading the edges with pixels similarly colored to the background, thus making the transition less apparent. Another method of anti-aliasing involves using higher resolution output devices.Aspect ratioThe ratio of width to height in an image or graphic. Keeping the aspect ratio means any change to one value is immediately reflected in the other.AVIAcronym for Audio Video Interleaved, standard format for digital video (&Video for Windows).Batch CaptureThis is an automated process which uses an Edit Decision List to locate and re-capture specific clips from a videotape, usually at a higher data rate than the clip was originally captured.BitThe smallest element of a computer’s memory. Among other things, bits are used to record the color values of pixels in an image. The more bits used for each pixel, the greater the number of available colors. For example:• 1-bit: each pixel is either black or white.• 4-bit: each pixel can be any one of 16 colors or gray shades.• 8-bit: each pixel can be any one of 256 colors or gray shades.• 16-bit: each pixel can be any one of 65,536 colors.• 24-bit: each pixel can be any one of 16.7 million colors.BitmapAn image format made up of a collection of dots or pixels arranged in rows.BlackingThe process of preparing a videotape for insert editing by recording video black and continuous control track on the entire tape. If the recording deck supports time code, then continuous time code will be recorded simultaneously (also called Striping).CD-ROMCD-ROMs are mass storage media for digital data, such as digital video. CD-ROMs can only be read (ROM is an acronym for Read-Only Memory).ChannelClassifications of information in a data file to isolate a particular aspect of the entire file. For example, color images use different channels to classify the color components in the image. Stereo audio files use channels to identify the sounds intended for the left and right speakers. Video files use combinations of the channels used for image and audio files.ClipAny media type that goes on the Storyboard or Timeline. Can be video images, video scenes, or audio files.ClipboardA temporary storage area shared by all Windows programs used to hold data during Cut, Copy, and Paste operations. Any new data you place onto the clipboard immediately replaces the existing data.. CODECAcronym for Compressor/Decompressor, a CODEC compresses (packs) and decompresses (unpacks) image data. There are different compression methods (software CODECs and hardware CODECs).Color depthNumber of bits delivering the color information for each pixel. In the black-and-white operation 1-bit color depth means 2 1 =2 colors, 8-bit color depth means 2 8 =256 colors, 24-bit color depth means 2 24 =16,777,216 colors.Color model

Studio DV Reviewers Guide Page 22

A color model is a way to mathematically describe and define colors and the way they relate to each other. Each color model has a specific purpose; the two most common color models are RGB and YUV.Complementary ColorComplementary colors are opposite in value to primary colors. If you were to combine a color with its complement, the result would be white. For example, the complementary colors of red, green, and blue are cyan, magenta, and yellow respectively.COM PortA serial port located on the back of your computer for attaching a modem, plotter, printer, or mouse to a system.Composite videoComposite video encodes luminance and chrominance information into one signal. VHS and 8mm are formats which record and playback composite video.CompressionA method for making files smaller in size. There are two types of compression: lossless and lossy. Files compressed with a lossless scheme can be restored to their original state with no change to their original data. Lossy schemes discard data during compression, so the file is slightly different when reopened.CroppingChoosing the area of an image to be displayed.Data rateData per second; that is, the amount of data which a mass storage medium (such as a hard disk or CD-ROM) saves/plays back per second, or the amount of data of a video sequence per second.Data transfer rateThe measurement of the speed at which information passes between storage media, (such as a CD-ROM or hard disk), and the display device, (such as a Monitor or MCI device).DCTAcronym for Discreet Cosine Transformation. Part of the JPEG and MPEG image data compression: the brightness and color information is saved as a frequency coefficient.DissolveA transitional effect in which the video is faded from one scene to the next.DecibelA unit of sound measurement that expresses the loudness of sound.Digital8Digital videotape format which records DV-coded audio and video data on Hi8 tapes. Currently sold only by Sony, Digital8 camcorders/VCRs can play Hi8 and 8mm cassettes.Digital videoDigital video stores information bit by bit in a file (in contrast to analog storage media).DriverA file containing information needed to operate peripherals. The Studio DV capture driver operates the capture board, for example.DVDigital videotape format for recording digital audio and video on ¼”-wide Metal Evaporated tape. Mini DV tapes hold up to 60 minutes of content, while standard DV tapes can hold up to 270 minutes of content.Edit Decision List (EDL)A list of clips and effects in a particular order that will be recorded onto your output tape or AVI file. Studio allows you to create and edit your own edit decision list by adding, deleting and reordering clips and effects in theStoryboard or Timeline view of the Movie window.Fade To/From BlackA transitional effect that fades up from black at the beginning the clip or down to black at the end of the clip.FieldA frame of video consists of interlaced horizontal lines divided into two fields. All odd-numbered lines of a video frame are Field 1. All even-numbered lines are Field 2.File formatThe ways in which a computer stores images or information.FiltersTools that alter data to produce special effects.FireWireApple Computer’s trademarked name for the IEEE-1394 serial data protocol.

FrameA single image in a video or animation sequence. If using full NTSC or PAL resolution, one frame consists of two interlaced fields.Frame rateFrame rate defines how many frames of a video sequence are played in one second. The Frame rate for NTSC video is 30 frames per second. The frame rate for PAL video is 25 frames per secondFrame sizeThe maximum size for displaying image data in a video or animation sequence. If an image intended for the sequence is larger than the frame size, it must be cropped or scaled to fit.Hardware CODECCompression method which creates compressed digital video sequences. These video sequences need additional hardware to be recorded/played back, and offer a better image quality than data compressed with software CODECs.Hi8Improved version of Video8 using S-Video recorded on Metal Particle or Metal Evaporated tape. Because of higher luminance resolution and wider bandwidth, the result is sharper pictures than Video8.HiColorFor images, this normally means a 16-bit (5-6-5) data type that can contain up to 65,536 colors. TGA file formats support images of this type. Other file formats require prior conversion of a HiColor image into True Color. For displays, HiColor normally refers to 15-bit (5-5-5) display adapters that can display up to 32,768 colors.Huffman-CodingPart of the JPEG image data compression. Seldom-occurring values receive a long code, while constantly-occurring values receive a short code.IDEAcronym for Integrated Device Electronics. A hard drive-interface that combines all drive control electronics on the drive itself, rather than on the adapter connecting the drive to the expansion bus.IEEE-1394Developed by Apple Computers and introduced as FireWire, this is a serial data transmission protocol with rates up to 400 Mbits/sec. Sony offers a slightly modified version for transmitting DV signals named i.LINK, providingtransmission speeds up to 100 Mbits/sec.ImageAn image is a reproduction, or picture of something. In this manual, the term is used to describe digitized pictures, composed of pixels, which can be shown on a computer display and manipulated by image enhancement software.Image compressionMethod to reduce the size of digital image and video files.InterlacedInterlaced describes the TV screen refresh method which the PAL and other TV systems use: The PAL TV image consists of two image halves (fields) of 312 1 /2 lines each. The NTSC TV image consists of two image halves of 242 1 /2 lines each.InterleaveAn arrangement of audio and video to promote smoother playback and synchronization or compression. The standard AVI format equally spaces audio and video.IrrelevanceIrrelevant (unimportant) information can be eliminated during the image data compression, since the human eye does not realize that this information is missing.JPEGAcronym for Joint Photographic Experts Group. Also refers to a standard for compressing digital frames based on Discrete Cosine Transformation.Key colorA color made transparent so that a background image can show through. Most commonly used when overlaying one video sequence on top of another, allowing the underlying video to display wherever the key color appears.Key frame rateA method to help in the compression of video files, which works by assigning certain frames as key frames whose video data remains intact at the time of compression. The video data of any intervening frames between two key frames is then only partially saved. On decompression these partial frames reconstruct

their data from the key frames (MPEG compression is one example)Laser DiscMedium which stores analog video. Information on laserdisks can only be read, not changed.

Mark In / Mark OutIn video editing, the mark in and mark out times refer to the starting and ending times that identify the portions of clips to be included in the project.MCIMedia Control Interface. Developed by Microsoft as a means to play audio and video data. It is also used to connect a computer to an external video source such as a VCR or laser disc.Motion-JPEG (M-JPEG)Video for Windows format for JPEG-compressed video sequences specified by Microsoft.MPEGAcronym for Motion Pictures Experts Group. Standard for the compression of moving images. Compared to M-JPEG, it offers 75-80% data reduction with the same visual quality.Non-interlacedImage refresh method where the complete image is generated without skipping lines. A non-interlaced image (like your computer monitor) flickers much less than an interlaced image (like your TV).NTSCAcronym for National Television Standards Committee; also, a color TV standard created by this group in 1951 using 525 lines and 60 image fields per second. NTSC is used in North and Central America as well as other countries.PALAcronym for Phase Alternating Line. Color TV standard developed in Germany using 625 lines and 50 image fields per second. It is the predominant European TV standard.Parallel port• ECP (Extended Capabilities Port): supports DMA transfers• EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port): supports 8-bit bi-directional transfers• Bi-directional: supports 8-bit write/4-bit read transfersPixelAcronym for picture element. Pixels are the smallest elements of a monitor image.Prime colorsThe colors that are the basis of the RGB color model: red, green, and blue. By varying how these colors are blended on screen, it is possible to create any other color.QuantizationPart of the MPEG image data compression. Relevant details are represented precisely, while less relevant details (to the human eye) are represented with less precision.RasterThe area of a video display that is covered by sweeping the electron beam of the display in a series of horizontal lines from upper left to lower right (from viewer’s perspective).RedundanceRedundant (superfluous) information can be eliminated during image compression. During decompression, the image can be restored completely.RenderingIn digital video editing, rendering is the process where clips are combined with effects (such as wipes, dissolves, title overlays, etc.) and made into one new clip incorporating all clips and all effects. This is accomplished frame-by-frame, and can be a time-consuming process.Run Length EncodingThe RLE = Run Length Encoding method is part of the MPEG compression. Repeating values are not saved individually but with a counter, which states how often the values occur in succession.ResolutionThe number of pixels which can be displayed on the monitor horizontally and vertically. The higher the resolution, the more detail can be displayed.RGBAcronym for Red, Green and Blue, the basic colors of additive color mixing. RGB describes the method used in computer technology where image information is transferred by dividing it into the three basic colors.

ScalingAdaptation to the desired image size.SCSIAcronym for Small Computer Systems Interface. SCSI is used as hard disk interface for high-performance PCs because of its high data rate. Up to eight SCSI devices can be connected to a computer at the same time.SECAMAcronym for Séquentiel Couleur à Mémoire. Color television transmission system used in France and Eastern Europe and developed on the basis of the PAL system, operating with 625 lines and 50 image halves per second.Software CODECCompression method to compress digital video sequences which can be played back without special hardware. The quality of these sequences depends on the performance of the complete system. VHS quality is not achieved.Still-VideoMethod of creating still images (or “freeze-frames”) from video.S-VHSImproved version of VHS using S-Video and Metal Particle tape to deliver higher luminance resolution, resulting in sharper pictures than VHS.S-VideoWith S-Video (Y/C) signals, the brightness (luminance or “Y”) and the color (chrominance or “C”) information are transferred separately using multiple wires, avoiding modulating and demodulating the video and the resulting loss of picture quality.TimecodeTime code identifies each individual video frame on a videotape, with each frame numbered in ascending order from the beginning of the tape. Its usual form is Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames (e.g., 01:22:13:21). Unlike a tape counter (which can be “zeroed” or reset at any point in a tape), time code is an electronic signalwritten on a videotape, and is permanent once it is assigned.TrueColorAn image that contains enough color to appear true to life. For an image, this normally means 24-bit color, providing up to 16.7 million colors.Variable-Length CodingPart of the JPEG image data compression. Values occurring seldom receive a long code, values occurring often receive a short code.VHSAbbreviation for Video Home System. System commonly used for home VCRs to record and play back images and sound using a 1 /2 -inch tape.
