• Contrast Ratio: The ratio of the high light output level is 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 color quality, expressed in degrees Kelvin (K), of a light source. The higher the color temperature, the bluer the light. The lower the temperature, the redder the light. Benchmark color temperatures for the A/V industry include 5000°K, 6500°K, and 9000°K.
• Saturation: Chroma, Chroma gain. The intensity of the color, or the extent to which a given color in any image is free from white. The less white in a colour, the truer the color or the greater its saturation. Saturation is the amount of pigment in a color, 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 an 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 synchronization of otherwise video devices. A signal generator provides a signal pulse that connected devices can reference. Also, see Black Burst and Color Burst.
