Ancillary Data The auxiliary data other than the video signals which is transmitted inside the data stream of the video serial interface.
  • Page 189 Appendix (glossary) Word Explanation Frame Memory A memory which can hold the video signals equivalent to one frame. Frame Synchronizer A function which matches the synchronization of non-synchronized video input signals. Freeze A function which continues the display of the same image, creating the impression that the image has been “frozen”.
