Basic Terms
Basic terms used in ImageMixer
IEEE1394
Also called 'I Triple E 1394,' this interface is best known for facilitating very fast
data transfer speeds (up to 400Mbps). It is used primarily as an output interface
(DV connector) for digital video cameras or hard disk drives. Other names for this
interface include i.LINK (in Windows), and FireWire (in Macintosh).
MPEG
MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group. MPEG is an international data
compression format for digital movies and Hi-Fi audio. MPEG-1 is the approved
format for Video CDs, and its brilliant audio/video quality is comparable to that of
VHS videotape. MPEG movies are stored as smaller files than DV (digital video)
movies of the same length, making it the standard movie format for Internet-
related activities. The MPEG-2 format also creates high quality images, but is used
primarily for DVDs and Digital Satellite Broadcasting.
Exif
Based originally on JPEG and TIFF file types, this format is used for still pictures
taken with digital cameras. Exif files contain detailed information (such as the
date/time the photo was taken, image size, shutter speed, etc.) on individual
pictures.
Capture
This refers to activities related to bringing in still pictures and movie files from
sources such as disks, cameras connected directly to your computer, and existing
media, as would be the case in selecting and saving a single frame from a movie
file. Capturing is also a term used in ImageMixer to refer to the recording of
sound, from audio CDs or through a microphone, as well as moving images via a
video camera connected directly to your computer.
Thumbnails
Thumbnails are small graphic representations of files which have
been added to a particular album. They are linked not only to the
file on your computer, but also to information pertaining to that
file, such as name, size, save directory, etc. Windows users might
think of a thumbnail as a 'shortcut,' and Mac users may make a
relationship to the term 'alias.'
