  2. Noise (video) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_(video)

    Noise, static or snow screen captured from a blank VHS tape. Noise, commonly known as static, white noise, static noise, or snow, in analog video, CRTs and television, is a random dot pixel pattern of static displayed when no transmission signal is obtained by the antenna receiver of television sets and other display devices.

  3. Squelch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squelch

    The presence of continuous noise on an idle channel creates a DC voltage which turns the receiver audio off. When a signal with little or no noise is received, the noise-derived voltage is reduced and the receiver audio is unmuted. Noise squelch can be defeated by intermodulation present in the high-pass band. For this reason, many receivers ...

  4. Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_Advertisement...

    The Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act (H.R. 1084/S. 2847) (CALM Act) requires the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to bar the audio of TV commercials from being broadcast louder than the TV program material they accompany by requiring all "multichannel video programming" distributors to implement the "Techniques for Establishing and Maintaining Audio Loudness for Digital ...

  5. Constant-voltage speaker system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-voltage_speaker...

    The voltage is constant only in the sense that at full power, the voltage in the system does not depend on the number of speakers driven (as long the amplifier's maximum power is not exceeded). [2] Constant-voltage speaker systems are also commonly referred to as 25- , 70- , 70.7- , 100 or 210-volt speaker systems ; distributed speaker systems ...

  6. Balanced audio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_audio

    Balanced audio connections use a number of techniques to reduce noise. A typical balanced cable contains two identical wires, which are twisted together and then wrapped with a third conductor (foil or braid) that acts as a shield. The two wires form a circuit that can carry an audio signal.

  7. Second audio program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_audio_program

    In turn, the MTS pilot is locked to the horizontal sync frequency of the video carrier for stability. The SAP channel contains mono audio which has been dbx-encoded for noise reduction, to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The SAP audio has a bandpass from 60 Hz to 12 kHz, which is less than the "regular" audio channel which runs from 50 Hz to ...

  8. Balanced line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_line

    A signal transmitted over a balanced line. The signal is kept intact while the noise (which appears as a common-mode signal at the receiving end) is rejected perfectly.. In telecommunications and professional audio, a balanced line or balanced signal pair is an electrical circuit consisting of two conductors of the same type, both of which have equal impedances along their lengths, to ground ...

  9. SCART - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCART

    A VCR will often have two SCART sockets, to connect it to the TV ("up", "primary" or "1"), and for video input from a set-top box or other device ("down", "secondary" or "2"). When idle or powered off, VCRs will usually forward the signals from the TV to the set-top decoder and send the processed result back to the TV.
