Glossary of Television Terms

Abstract

This glossary was complied by the members and associate members of the Range commanders Council (RCC) Optical Systems television for data gathering purposes has increased drastically in the last decade. Because many of the personnel involved in range operations and maintenance have a limited background in television, the OSG membership felt that a glossary containing selected television terminology would contribute to understanding the theoretical. engineering, operational, and maintenance needs of television. Since the terms television covers a broad spectrum, many of the words and phrases apply to technologies that are not related to utilization of television for data gathering purposes. However as television data gathering techniques evolve. more and more use of existing technologies in video transmission, video production, and video graphics will be realized. In order to ensure that this glossary will provide a service now and in the years to come, the OSG decided to upgrade the glossary contents to include all aspects of television.
