English

Subject field(s)
  • Alternative Dispute Resolution
CONT

Consumer advocates maintain the investor-state system unfairly elevates companies to the same level as sovereign governments, which effectively enables them to circumvent domestic laws and courts by seeking extrajudicial arbitration. In doing so, they argue the system gives a green light to companies to directly challenge a nation's public interest policies.

Record 5 2003-11-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Video Technology
DEF

A high-quality video recording format that separates the luminance (brightness) and chrominance (color) portions of the signal.

CONT

Professional equipment(BetaCAM, Beta SP, D1 and MII) and some consumer equipment(S-VHS and Hi-8) have been designed to record the video components separately. Component video uses several recording methods : standard YUV(Y, R-Y, B-Y) ;RGB(red, green blue) ;and Y/C(luminance and chromiance). The highest quality component video, YUv, divides the signal into three parts : the luminance(Y) ;the red signal minus the luminance(R-Y) ;and the blue signal minus the luminance(B-Y). Using these three signals the green component can be calculated. S-video, or Y/C(used by S-VHS and Hi-8 formats), separates the video signal into two parts : luminance and chrominance.
