HDMI 2.1 : released on November 28, 2017. It adds support for higher
resolutions and higher refresh rates, Dynamic HDR including 4K 120 Hz and 8K
120 Hz.
DisplayPort: A VESA standard interface primarily for video, but also for
audio, USB and other data. DisplayPort (orDP) is backwards compatible with
HDMI, DVI and VGA.
DP 1.1: was ratified on 2 April 2007, and version 1.1a was ratified on 11
January 2008. DisplayPort 1.1 allow a maximum bandwidth of 10.8 Gbit/s (8.64
Gbit/s data rate) over a standard 4-lane main link, enough to support
1920×1080@60Hz
DP 1.2: introduced on 7 January 2010, effective bandwidth to 17.28 Gbit/s
support increased resolutions, higher refresh rates, and greater color depth,
maximum resolution 3840×2160@60Hz
DP 1.4: publish on 1 Mar, 2016.overall transmission bandwidth 32.4 Gbit/s
,DisplayPort 1.4 adds support for Display Stream Compression 1.2 (DSC), DSC is
a “visually lossless” encoding technique with up to a 3:1 compression ratio.
Using DSC with HBR3 transmission rates, DisplayPort 1.4 can support 8K UHD
(7680×4320) at 60 Hz or 4K UHD (3840×2160) at 120 Hz with 30 bit/px RGB color
and HDR. 4K at 60 Hz 30 bit/px RGB/HDR can be achieved without the need for
DSC.
Multi-mode Fiber: Fibers that support many propagation paths or transverse
modes are called multi-mode fibers, generally have a wider core diameter and
are used for short-distance communication links and for applications where
high power must be transmitted.
Single-mode Fiber: Fiber that support a single mode are called single-mode
fibers. Single-mode fibers are used for most communication links longer than
1,000 meters (3,300 ft).
SFP: small form-factor pluggable, is a compact, hot-pluggable network
interface module used for both telecommunication and data communications
applications.
optical fiber connector: terminates the end of an optical fiber, and enables
quicker connection and disconnection than splicing. The connectors
mechanically couple and align the cores of fibers so light can pass. 4 most
common types of optical fiber connectors are SC, FC, LC,ST.
SC:(Subscriber Connector), also known as the square connector was also created
by the Japanese company Nippon Telegraph and Telephone. SC is a push-pull
coupling type of connector and has a 2.5mm diameter. Nowadays, it is used
mostly in single mode fiber optic patch cords, analog, GBIC, and CATV. SC is
one of the most popular options, as its simplicity in design comes along with
great durability and affordable prices.
LC(Lucent Connector) is a small factor connector (uses only a 1.25mm ferrule
diameter) that has a snap coupling mechanism. Because of its small dimensions,
it is the perfect fit for high-density connections, XFP, SFP, and SFP+
transceivers. FC :(Ferrule Connector) is a screw type connector with a 2.5mm
ferrule. FC is a round shaped threaded fiber optic connector,mostly used on
Datacom, telecom, measurement equipment, single-mode laser.

NTSC : The colour video standard used in North America and some other parts of
the world created by the National Television Standards Committee in the 1950s.
NTSC utilizes an interlaced video signals.
PAL: Phase Alternate Line. A television standard in which the phase of the
colour carrier is alternated from line to line. It takes four full images (8
fields) for the colour-to-horizontalimages (8 fields) for the colour-to-
horizontal phase relationship to return to the reference point. This
alternation helps cancel out phase errors. For this reason, the hue control is
not needed on a PAL TV set. PAL, is widely used in needed on a PAL TV set.
PAL, is widely used in Western Europe, Australia, Africa, the Middle East, and
Micronesia. PAL uses 625-line, 50-field (25 fps) composite colour transmission
system.
SMPTESociety of Motion image and Television Engineers. A global organization,
based in the United States, that sets standards for baseband visual
communications. This includes film as well as video and television standards.
VESA: Video Electronics Standards Association. An organization facilitating
computer graphics through standards.

HDCP: High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) was developed by Intel
Corporation an is in wide use for protection of video during transmission
between devices.
HDBaseT: A video standard for the transmission of uncompressed video (HDMI
signals) and related features using Cat 5e/Cat6 cabling infrastructure.
ST2110: A SMPTE developed standard, ST2110 describes how to send digital video
over and IP networks. Video is transmitted uncompressed with audio and other
data in a separate streams. SMPTE2110 is intended principally for broadcast
production and distribution facilities where quality and flexibility are more
important.
SDVoE: Software Defined Video over Ethernet (SDVoE) is a method for
transmission, distribution and management AV signals using a TCP/IP Ethernet
infrastructure for transport with low latency. SDVoE is commonly used in
integration applications. Dante AV: The Dante protocol was developed for and
widely adopted in audio systems for the transmission of uncompressed digital
audio on IP based networks. The more recent Dante AV specification includes
support for digital video.
NDI: Network Device interface (NDI) is a software standard developed by NewTek
to enable video-compatible products to communicate, deliver, and receive
broadcast quality video in a high quality, low latency manner that is frame-
accurate and suitable for switching in a live production environment over TCP
(UDP) Ethernet based networks. NDI is commonly found in broadcast
applications.
RTMP: Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) was initially a proprietary protocol
developed by Macromedia (now Adobe) for streaming audio, video and data over
the Internet, between a Flash player and a server.
RTSP : The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a network control protocol
designed for use in entertainment and communications systems to control
streaming media servers. The protocol is used for establishing and controlling
media sessions between end points.
MPEG: Moving Picture Experts Group is a working group formed from ISO and IEC
developing standards that allow audio/video digital compression and
Transmission.
H.264: Also known as AVC (Advanced Video Coding) or MPEG-4i is a common video
compression standard. H.264 was standardized by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts
Group (VCEG) together with the ISO/IEC JTC1 Moving Picture Experts Group
(MPEG).
H.265: Also known as HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding )H.265 is the
successor to the widely used H.264/AVC digital video coding standard.
Developed under the auspices of ITU, resolutions up to 8192×4320 may be
compressed.
API: An Application Programming Interface (API) provides a predefined function
which allows access capabilities andfeatures orroutines viaa software or
hardware, without accessing source code or understanding the details of inner

working mechanism. An API call may execute a function and/or provide
datafeedback/report.
DMX512: The communication standard developed by USITT for entertainment and
digital lighting systems.The wide adoption of the Digital Multiplex (DMX)
protocol has seen the protocol used for a wide range of other devices
including video controllers. DMX512 is delivered over cable of 2 twisted pairs
with 5pin XLR cables for connection.
ArtNet: An ethernet protocol based on TCP/IP protocol stack, mainly used in
entertainment/events applications. Built on the DMX512 data format, ArtNet
enables multiple “universes” of DMX512 to be transmitted using ethernet
networks for transport.
MIDI: MIDI is the abbreviation of Musical Instrument Digital Interface. As the
name indicates the protocol was developed for communication between
electronical musical instruments and latterly computers. MIDI instructions are
triggers or commands sent over twisted pair cables, typically using 5pin DIN
connectors.
OSC: The principle of Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol is for networking
sound synthesizers, computers, and multimedia devices for musical performance
or show control. As with XML and JSON, the OSC protocol allows sharing data.
OSC is transported via UDP packets between devices connected on an Ethernet.
BrightnessUsually refers to the amount or intensity of video light produced on
a screen without regard to colour. Sometimes called black level.
Contrast Ratio The ratio of the high light output level divided by the low
light output level. In theory, the contrast ratio of the television system
should be at least 100:1, if not 300:1. In reality, there are several
limitations. Well-controlled viewing conditions should yield a practical
contrast ratio of 30:1 to 50:1.
Colour Temperature: The colour quality, expressed in degrees Kelvin (K), of a
light source. The higher the colour temperature, the bluer the light. The
lower the temperature, the redder the light. Benchmark colour temperature for
the A/V industry include 5000°K, 6500°K, and 9000°K. Saturation: Chroma,
Chroma gain. The intensity of the colour, or the extent to which a given
colour in any image is free from white. The less white in a colour, the truer
the colour or the greater its saturation. Saturation is the amount of pigment
in a colour, and not the intensity.
Gamma:The light output of a CRT is not linear with respect to the voltage
input. The difference between what you should have and what is actually output
is known as gamma.
Frame: In interlaced video, a frame is one complete image.A video frame is
made up of two fields, or two sets of interlaced lines. In a film, a frame is
one still image of a series that makes up a motion image. Genlock: Allows
synchronisation of otherwise video devices. A signal generator provides a
signal pulses which connected devices can reference. Also see Black Burst and
Color Burst.

Blackburst: The video waveform without the video elements.It includes the
vertical sync, horizontal sync, and the Chroma burst information. Blackburst
is used to synchronize video equipment to align the video output.
ColourBurst: In colour TV systems, a burst of subcarrier frequency located on
the back part of the composite video signal. This serves as a colour
synchronizing signal to establish a frequency and phase reference for the
Chroma signal. Colour burst is 3.58 MHz for NTSC and 4.43 MHz for PAL. Colour
BarsA standard test pattern of several basic colours (white, yellow, cyan,
green, magenta, red, blue, and black) as a reference for system alignment and
testing. In NTSC video, the most commonly used colour bars are the SMPTE
standard colour bars. In PAL video, the most commonly used colour bars are
eight full field bars. On computer monitors the most commonly used colour bars
are two rows of reversed colour bars
Seamless Switching: A feature found on many video switchers. This feature
causes the switcher to wait until the vertical interval to switch. This avoids
a glitch (temporary scrambling) which often is seen when switching between
sources.
Scaling: A conversion of a video or computer graphic signal from a starting
resolution to a new resolution. Scaling from one resolution to another is
typically done to optimize the signal for input to an image processor,
transmission path or to improve its quality when presented on a particular
display.
PIP: Picture-In-Picture. A small image within a larger image created by
scaling down one of image to make it smaller. Other forms of PIP displays
include Picture-By-Picture (PBP) and Picture- With-Picture (PWP), which are
commonly used with 16:9 aspect display devices. PBP and PWP image formats
require a separate scaler for each video window .
HDR: is a high dynamic range (HDR) technique used in imaging and photography
to reproduce a greater dynamic range of luminosity than what is possible with
standard digital imaging or photographic techniques. The aim is to present a
similar range of luminance to that experienced through the human visual
system.
UHD: Standing for Ultra High Definition and comprising 4K and 8K television
standards with a 16:9 ratio, UHD follows the 2K HDTV standard. A UHD 4K
display has aphysical resolution of3840x2160 which is four times the area and
twice both the widthandheightofaHDTV/FullHD (1920 x1080) video signal.
EDID: Extended Display Identification Data. EDID is a data structure used to
communicate video display information, including native resolution and
vertical interval refresh rate requirements, to a source device. The source
device will then output the provided EDID data, ensuring proper video image
quality.
