26 This makes 3D objects appear more r ealistic as the detail of their surface texture is retained in a smooth, seamle ss fashion on the sections that move or fade away into the background. Anti-alias ing A method that smooths out the jagged edg es of a curved object.
27 memory can only encode to either “0” or “1.” So a graphical bit depth of 1 means that the display can only show two colors, the black and white of a monochrome display. Four-bit color dept h is capable of displaying 16 colors because there are on ly 16 different combinat ions of 4 bits (“0000”, “0001”, “0010”.
28 Color Correction Use Color Correction to co rrect discrepancies between the real color value and the way a screen displays it. Color discrepancies can be caused by a variety of sources, including the lighting conditio ns in the work area and gradual shifts in color over time on monitors or flat panel displays.
29 Dot pitch Dot pitch specifies the sharpness of a m onitor’s display. It is measured in millimeters (mm) and is the distance b etween the individual phospho r sub- pixels in a CRT di splay or cells of th e same color within an LCD display. The smaller the number, the sharper the image.
30 Frames Per Se cond In terms of 3D graphics, refers to the rate at which the graphic processor can render new screens per second. Higher rates equals better, more naturalistic performance fo r such things as games set in a 3D environment. Sometimes abbreviated to “fps.
31 Keyframe Interpolation This feature is also known as “morphing.” In an animation, a start and end point are picked as the key frames. In a 3D rendering, the start point could have a character with a neutral expr ession, and the end point could have that same character smili ng.
32 flicker-free. The acronym refers to the National Televi sion Systems Committee, which devised this color video standard in 1953. Offscr een Memory An area of memory used to preload im ages so that they can be quickly drawn to the screen.
33 Pixel T apestry™ II Pixel Tapestry™ II uses four parallel, highly optimized rendering pipelines, each capable of ha ndling two textures simultaneously. It provides advanced texturin g, making 3D surfaces look even more detailed and realistic. Refresh Rate Also referred to as “vertical refresh rate .
34 Shadow Mask In CRT monitors, the shadow mask is a metal plate full of tiny holes that is attached to the inside of the glass screen. It focuses the beams from the electron guns at the back of the CRT. The distance between these holes is called the dot pi tch.
35 Trans ition Minimized Differe ntial Signaling (TMDS) A technology designed to reduce el ectromagnetic inte rference (EMI) and improve the digital signal delivered to flat panel displ ays.
