Glossary
Brightness
The balance of light and dark shades in an 
image.
Composite video
A type of video signal that encodes picture, 
luminance, and synchronization information so 
it can be carried in one signal.
Contrast
A measure of the tonal differences between the 
highlights and shadows of an image. In a 
high-contrast image, light areas are very bright 
and dark areas are very dark, with relatively few 
levels of gray between white and black. 
Contrast is decreased by adding grays.
NTSC
A 525-line video broadcast format developed 
by the National Television Standards 
Committee. NTSC is widely used in North 
America, Mexico, and Japan.
