a) The process used for some radio (AM broadcast, in North American audio service broadcast over 535 kHz-1705 kHz) and television video transmission. A low-frequency (program) signal modulates (changes) the amplitude of a high-frequency RF carrier signal (causing it to deviate from its nominal base amplitude). The original program signal is recovered (demodulated) at the receiver. This system is extensively used in broadcast radio transmission because it is less prone to signal interference and retains most of the original signal quality. In video, FM is used in order to record high quality signals on videotape.
b) The process by which the amplitude of a high-frequency carrier is varied in proportion to the signal of interest. In the PAL television system, AM is used to encode the color information and to transmit the picture. Several different forms of AM are differentiated by various methods of sideband filtering and carrier suppression. Double sideband suppressed carrier is used to encode the PAL color information, while the signal is transmitted with a large-carrier vestigial sideband scheme.

a) The coded data for a picture or block of sound and any stuffing (null values) that follows it. b) A coded representation of a presentation unit. In the case of audio, an access unit is the coded representation of an audio frame. In the case of video, an access unit includes all the coded data for a picture, and any stuffing that follows it, up to but not including the start of the next access unit. If a picture is not preceded by a group_start_code or a sequence_header_code, the access unit begins with a picture_start_code. If a picture is preceded by a group_start_code and/or a sequence_header_code, the access unit begins with the first byte of the first of these start codes. If it is the last picture preceding a sequence_end_code in the bit stream, all bytes between the last byte of the coded picture and the sequence_end_code (including the sequence_end_code) belong to the access unit.
Industry:Entertainment
The form of modulation used in broadcast and cable television transmission. It is more efficient than dual-sideband amplitude modulation and is easier to implement than single-sideband amplitude modulation.
Industry:Entertainment
A term used in connection with magnetic tape testing and refers to the reproduced peak-to-peak voltage and its variation from what was recorded.
Industry:Entertainment
One or more registers associated with the Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU), which temporarily store sums and other arithmetical and logical results of the ALU.

Refer to the Frequency Response discussion.
Industry:Entertainment
A form of MAC optimized for remote broadcasting links.
