Introduction of Fundamental
Concepts in Video
• Video is a series of images. When this series of
images are displayed on screen at fastspeed ( e.g 30
images per second)
• It projects single images at a fast rate producing the
illusion of continuous motion.
• The single images are called frames.
• The rate at which the frames are projected is generally
between 24 and 30 frames per second (fps).
• The rate at which the images are presented is referred
to as the Frame Rate

Analog Video
An analog signal f(t) samples a time-varying image.
So- called “progressive" scanning traces through a complete picture (a
frame) row-wise for each time interval.
Analog video use a small voltage offset from zero to indicate “black",
and another value such as zero to indicate the start of a line.
In TV, and in some monitors and multimedia standards as well, another
system, called “interlaced" scanning is used:
The odd-numbered lines are traced first, and then the even-numbered
lines are traced.
This results in “odd" and “even" fields -- two fields make up one frame.
In fact, the odd lines (starting from 1) end up at the middle of a line at the
end of the odd field, and the even scan starts at a half-way point.

Digital Video
• Advantages:
― Direct random access –> good for nonlinear video
editing
― No problem for repeated recording
― No need for blanking and sync pulse
Almost all digital video uses component video

Interlaced Scanning
• Once all the odd lines have been written the electron
beam travels back to the upper left of the screen and
starts writing the even lines.
• As it takes a while before the phosphor stops
emitting light and as the human brain is too slow
instead of seeing two fields what we see is a
combination of both fields - in other words the
original picture.
