  2. Compression artifact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_artifact

    A compression artifact (or artefact) is a noticeable distortion of media (including images, audio, and video) caused by the application of lossy compression. Lossy data compression involves discarding some of the media's data so that it becomes small enough to be stored within the desired disk space or transmitted ( streamed ) within the ...

  3. Rolling shutter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_shutter

    Rolling shutter describes the process of image capture in which a still picture (in a still camera) or each frame of a video (in a video camera) is captured not by taking a snapshot of the entire scene at a single instant in time but rather by scanning across the scene rapidly, vertically, horizontally or rotationally. Thus, not all parts of ...

  4. Video quality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_quality

    Video quality is a characteristic of a video passed through a video transmission or processing system that describes perceived video degradation (typically compared to the original video). Video processing systems may introduce some amount of distortion or artifacts in the video signal that negatively impact the user's perception of the system.

  5. Clipping (audio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_(audio)

    Many electric guitar players intentionally overdrive their amplifiers (or insert a "fuzz box") to cause clipping in order to get a desired sound (see guitar distortion).. Some audiophiles believe that the clipping behavior of vacuum tubes with little or no negative feedback is superior to that of transistors, in that vacuum tubes clip more gradually than transistors (i.e. soft clipping, and ...

  6. Clipping (signal processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_(signal_processing)

    Clipping is a form of distortion that limits a signal once it exceeds a threshold. Clipping may occur when a signal is recorded by a sensor that has constraints on the range of data it can measure, it can occur when a signal is digitized , or it can occur any other time an analog or digital signal is transformed, particularly in the presence of ...

  7. Glossary of video terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_video_terms

    The range of signal frequencies that a piece of audio or video equipment can encode or decode; the difference between the limiting frequencies of a continuous frequency band. Video uses higher frequency than audio, thus requires a wider bandwidth. [2] Bar Test Pattern Special test pattern for adjusting color TV receivers or color encoders.

  8. Distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion

    In signal processing, distortion is the alteration of the original shape (or other characteristic) of a signal.In communications and electronics it means the alteration of the waveform of an information-bearing signal, such as an audio signal representing sound or a video signal representing images, in an electronic device or communication channel.

  9. Distortion (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(music)

    The DS-1 was the first ever distortion guitar effect pedal manufactured by Boss An auditory example of the distortion effect with the clean signal shown first.. Distortion and overdrive are forms of audio signal processing used to alter the sound of amplified electric musical instruments, usually by increasing their gain, producing a "fuzzy", "growling", or "gritty" tone.
