English

Subject field(s)
  • Audiovisual Techniques and Equipment
DEF

A 4-pin DIN connector used for high-end S-video sources.

OBS

Luminance(Y) and chrominance(C) ;type of video signal transmission format that separates the color portion of the signal(chrominance) from the brightness portion of the signal(luminance) resulting in higher picture quality compared to composite video, which combines the two into a single signal. A Y/C connection is often known as a S-Video connection. These cables carry the brightness and color information on two separate wires.

Key term(s)
  • Ushiden input
  • Ushiden output
  • Y/C input:Y/C output
  • S-Video input
  • S-Video output

French

Domaine(s)
  • Audiovisuel (techniques et équipement)
CONT

La prise Ushiden, également nommée S-Vidéo, transporte le signal en Y/C (chrominance/luminance séparées). Elle est la favorite des liaisons (mais pas la meilleure) entre DVD et un diffuseur d'image. Au-dessus de 1,50 m, choisir un câble de très haute qualité.

Key term(s)
  • entrée Y/C
  • sortie Y/C
  • entrée S-Vidéo
  • sortie S-Vidéo
  • entrée Ushiden
  • sortie Ushiden
  • borne S-Vidéo
  • borne Y/C
  • borne Ushiden

  • Television (Radioelectricity)
  • Video Technology
CONT

Component Video Interconnects. Inputs 1 and 2 of the SD-641-HD5 have a 3rd type of input connection called a Component Connection(also found on better DVD players and HDTV set top boxes). This consists of 3 pin-type, or "RCA" jacks, and gives the best high resolution picture(it does this by transmitting the black and white information on one wire labeled Y, the difference between the black and white and red information on a second wire Yr, and the difference between the black and white and blue information on a third independent wire labeled Yb). HDTV monitors such as the SD-641-HD5 can accept signals from HDTV tuners and display 1080I HDTV images when using these component inputs, which can detect and display either HDTV from an HDTV tuner or NTSC signals from the component outputs of a DVD player.

CONT

With these sources, a component connection eliminates still another stage of processing inside the TV set. In terms of image quality, the step from S-video to component video is less noticeable than that from composite- to S-video, but it can still make a noticeable difference on some sets.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Audiovisuel (techniques et équipement)
  • Télévision (Radioélectricité)
  • Vidéotechnique
CONT

[...] un nouveau type de connexion, dite «composante», constituée de trois fils, l'un pour le rouge, l'autre pour le bleu et le troisième pour le vert et la luminance du signal. Ce branchement permet de contourner le décodeur NTSC du téléviseur et d'obtenir une image plus claire et plus colorée, allant de 480 à 500 lignes et de tirer ainsi le maximum du DVD.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Foundation Engineering
OBS

[There are] some types of corner connections, both riveted and welded. In respect to the T connections used, e. g., in cellular cofferdams, it should be noted that in order to function and resist considerable hoop tensions in the cells at right angles to each other, the T connection must be able to undergo plastic deformations which will bend it slightly into a Y shape.

OBS

Sheet pile connections.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Technique des fondations
OBS

[Il y a] quelques types de palplanches de raccord, rivetées ou soudées. En ce qui concerne les raccords en T utilisés par exemple dans les batardeaux cellulaires, il faut noter que pour résister aux tractions considérables enregistrées dans les cellules faisant entre elles des angles droits, ces raccords doivent être capables de subir des déformations plastiques qui les fléchissent légèrement en forme d'Y.
