Appendix C: Glossary This appendix defines some of the specialized terms used in this Matrox 4Sight-M document. MATROX IMAGING est distribué par TECHWAY - www.techway.fr - info@techway.
Appendix C: Glossary • ASIC Application-specific integrated circuit. An integrated circuit custom-made to meet the requirements of a specific application. It integrates several digital and/or analog functions into a single die. This results in a reduction in cost, board area, and power consumption, while improving performance when compared to an equivalent implementation using off-the-shelf components. • Band One of the surfaces of a buffer. A grayscale image requires one band.
• Cache A memory component referred to by the processor, for faster and more efficient processing. The processor accesses the cache before the RAM and storage devices, because data transfers from the cache to the CPU are faster than data transfers from the RAM or storage devices. Many computers have a primary cache and a secondary cache. When searching for information, the processor first refers to the primary cache. If it cannot find the required information, it will then refer to the secondary cache.
Appendix C: Glossary • DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP automatically assigns IP addresses to clients who log onto a TCP/IP network. It eliminates the need to assign and manage unique IP addresses for all of the machines on a network. • Display memory See frame buffer. • Driver A software program that services an operating system so that the operating system can use a hardware device.
• Field One of the two halves that make up an image. One half consists of the image's odd rows (known as the odd field); the other half consists of the image's even rows (known as the even field). • Frame A single image grabbed from a video camera. • Frame buffer A frame buffer is a dedicated storage area used for display. Since a computer sends out data faster than a screen can display it, the data is temporarily stored in the frame buffer.
Appendix C: Glossary • Horizontal sync The part of a video signal that indicates the end of a row and the start of a new one. See also vertical sync. • Host In general, Host refers to the principal CPU in one’s computer. It can also refer to the principal computer in a multi-computer set-up. • HSL A color space that represents color using components of hue, saturation, and luminance. The hue component describes the actual color of a pixel.
• Keying A display effect that switches between two display sources depending on the pixel values in one of the sources. Keying is used to make portions of the overlay frame buffer surface transparent so that corresponding areas of the underlay frame buffer surface can show through it. • Latency The time from when an operation is started to when the final result is produced. • Live processing See real-time processing.
Appendix C: Glossary • Network bindings The series of associations that enable communication among the network services, protocols, and adapters in your computer. In this case,’binding’ refers to the conversion or association of symbolic addresses in the operating system to storage-related addresses. These associations can be adjusted to increase the performance of certain network services among multiple network adapters.
• POST Power-on self test. This test is performed by the BIOS, as soon as the computer is turned on. POST gathers information about what your unit contains, and ensures that everything is working properly. It works by performing a list of tasks related to testing the RAM, the on-board hardware, the expansion cards, the keyboard, the disk drives, and other installed components. If all the tasks are completed, the BIOS will proceed to boot the operating system.
Appendix C: Glossary • Real-time processing The processing of an image as quickly as the next image is grabbed. Also known as live processing. • Reference levels The zero and full-scale levels of an analog-to-digital converter. Voltages below a black reference level are converted to the minimum pixel value; voltages above a white reference level are converted to the maximum pixel value. Together with the analog gain factor, the reference levels affect the brightness and contrast of the resulting image.
• TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol. The basic communication protocol (or language) of the Internet that has become the global standard for network communications since it ensures faithful data transmission. TCP/IP uses the client-server communication model, in which a computer user (client) makes requests and is provided services by a network computer (server). TCP/IP is a two-layered protocol. TCP is the upper transport layer, which ensures delivery of the entire file/message.
