This term is a purely Cubicomp buzzword. As used within their software and documentation, a position word is the set of numbers that orient a single keyframe. Each keyframe gets a position word, and a position word stores the translations, rotations, and zooms that were used to create the view of the world seen in the keyframe. Position words do triple duty: They define the current view of the world. A position word is made up of nine numbers: x, y, and Z rotation; x, y, and z translation; x and y offsets; and scale; They define keyframes (since a keyframe is a particular view of the world; Similarly, in-betweens are automatically generated views of the world that are in between keyframes.

When animators want to capture the realism of a live object’s motion, a technique called rotoscoping is used. In traditional film animation, film footage of the motion is rear-projected, one frame at a time, onto a frosted screen that is mounted on the animators worktable.
The artist traces the frames onto cels. This process is called rotoscoping.
The video equivalent is called keying or matting. Digital rotoscoping has recently become possible. Here, the frame buffer is used to hold the incoming action, and software picks out the image of interest from the background, assuming the subject was shot against a solid color.
Industry:Software
The action of retaining in memory panel parameters (in the case of switchers), edit decision lists (in the case of editors), frames of video (in the case of machines like AVA, ESS and CGs).
Industry:Software
A line using two conductors to carry a signal, where one of the conductors is connected to ground.
Industry:Software
A colour television format having 625 scan lines (rows) of resolution at 25 frames per second (25 Hz). See PAL. Compare NTSC Format.
Industry:Software
The noise (deviation of a signal from its original or correct value) which results from the quantization process. In serial digital, a granular type of noise only present in the presence of a signal.
