IDC -
Inter-device communication mechanism
provided by the OS/2 function ATTACHDD DevHelp.
identifier
-
(1) A sequence of bits or characters that
identifies a program, device, or system to another program, device, or system.
(2) In the C language, a sequence of letters, digits, and underscores used
to identify a data object or function. (3) See four-character code (FOURCC).
IDOCA -
Integrated
Data Object Content Architecture.
image -
An electronic representation of a video still.
image
bitsperpel -
Pertaining to the number of colors
supported by the current pel format. The currently accepted standard values
are those supported by OS/2 bitmaps, for example, 1, 4, 8, or 24 bits per
pel. In addition, 12 bits per pel formats are accepted for YUV images (including
the 'yuvb' pel format for RDIB files).
image
buffer -
A location in memory where video images
are stored for later use.
image buffer formats
-
The format or representation of data buffers
containing video images.
image compression
-
The method of compressing video image data to conserve
storage space.
image file format -
The
format or representation of data files containing video images.
Image
Object Content Architecture (IOCA) -
A data
format for multimedia products.
image pelformat
-
Indicates the color representation that is
to be used for images that are captured and saved. This normally includes
palettized RGB, true-color RGB, or YUV color formats.
image
quality -
Represents the user's or application's
subjective evaluation of complexity and quality of the image to be captured
or saved. This setting is used to determine specific compression methods
to use for saving the image.
implicit event
-
An event that all stream handlers always must support,
such as end of stream or preroll complete).
in-betweening
-
in
frame -
Refers to a subject that is included
within the frame. See also frame.
InfoWindow
system -
A display system that can combine text,
graphics, and video images on a single display. The minimum system configuration
is the IBM InfoWindow Color Display, a system unit, a keyboard, and one
or two videodisc players.
input locking mask
-
A filter, or mask, that controls which areas
of the display can display or freeze video.
input/output
control (IOCtl) -
A system function that provides
a method for an application to send device-specific control commands to
a device driver.
installable I/O procedure
-
A file format handler that provides functions that
operate on the media object of a particular data format. These functions
include opening, reading, writing, seeking, and closing elements.
instance
-
See node instance. (RTMIDI-specific
term)
INT -
Script
abbreviation for interior.
Integrated
Data Object Control Architecture (IDOCA) -
A
data format for multimedia products.
interactive
multimedia -
The delivery of information content
through combinations of video, computer graphics, sound, and text in a manner
that allows the user to interact.
interactive
program -
A running program that can receive
input from the keyboard or another input device. Contrast with noninteractive
program.
interactive videodisc system (IVS)
-
A system in which a user can interact with
a videodisc display image by entering commands to the computer through a
device such as a keyboard or keypad or by touching
a touch-sensitive screen at specific points on the display surface.
interlace
flicker -
The apparent flicker when one field
of an interlaced image contains more light than the other field due to the
placement of image details with respect to the separate fields. Two methods
used to avoid interlace flicker: limit the vertical resolution on natural
images (as opposed to text or graphics); design characters so that each
character has an equal number of pels in each field.
interlacing
-
In multimedia applications, a characteristic
of video image display that results in greater image clarity. In effect,
the video image is traced across the screen twice. (The time delay between
the two tracings makes this effect undesirable for normal computer-generated
graphics.) Synonymous with interleaving.
interleaving
-
(1) The simultaneous accessing of two or
more bytes or streams of data from distinct storage units. (2) The alternating
of two or more operations or functions through the overlapped use of a computer
facility. (3) In a duplicator, the process of inserting absorbent sheets
between successive sheets of the copy paper to prevent set-off. (T) (4)
Synonym for interlacing.
internal I/O procedure
-
An I/O procedure that is built in to the MMPM/2
system, including DOS, MEM, BND, and CF IOProcs.
International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) -
An
organization of national standards bodies from various countries established
to promote development of standards to facilitate international exchange
of goods and services, and develop cooperation in intellectual, scientific,
technological, and economic activity.
IOCtl
-
IOProc
-
A file format handler that provides functions
that operate on the media object of a particular data format. These processes
include opening, reading, writing, seeking, and closing elements of a storage
system. There are two classes of I/O procedures: file format and
storage system.
iris -
To
fade a picture by operating the iris (aperture) on the camera in a certain
way; the type of computer image dissolve accomplished by operating the aperture
in a certain way.
ISO -
International
Organization for Standardization.
ISP -
IBM Signal Processor. An IBM proprietary digital
signal processor.
ISPOS -
IBM
Signal Processor Operating System.
ISV -
Independent software vendor.
