Partie noire d’un signal vidéo qui a la forme d’une bordure déformante dans les angles des écrans de téléviseurs et d’ordinateurs. 3, record 2, French, - surbalayage
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Pour éviter des déformations géométriques dans les angles des écrans des micro-ordinateurs, l'image n’ occupe qu'environ 90 % de la surface du tube cathodique. Le format informatique de l'image est donc plus petit que le format de balayage vidéo de l'écran. Dans un certain nombre de dispositifs de conversion vidéo, cet écart est conservé hors de la transformation des images informatiques en images vidéo. Pour des applications de type création graphique, animation, incrustation d’images informatiques, cet écart est très gênant. Certains constructeurs permettent alors, de choisir le format d’affichage vidéo de l'image. Un premier réglage(mode «underscan») permet de conserver l'image informatique dans sa taille initiale. Elle apparaît donc sur le moniteur vidéo exactement comme sur l'écran informatique avec les bordures noires habituelles. Un deuxième réglage(mode «overscan») agrandit l'image informatique de manière à ce qu'elle occupe toute la surface du moniteur vidéo. 4, record 2, French, - surbalayage
