Bit rate -
The bit rate (in kbit/s or Mbit/s) is often referred to as speed, but actually defines the number of bits/time
unit and not distance/time unit.
Bluetooth -
Bluetooth is an open standard for wireless transmission of voice and data between mobile devices (PCs,
handheld computers, telephones and printers).
Bonjour -
Also known as zero-configuration networking, Bonjour enables devices to automatically discover each
other on a network, without having to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers. Bonjour is a
trademark of Apple Computer, Inc.
Broadband -
In network engineering terms, this describes transmission methods where two or more signals share the
same carrier. In more popular terminology, broadband is taken to mean high-speed data transmission.
CCD (Charged Coupled Device) -
This light-sensitive image device used in many digital cameras is a large integrated circuit that contains
hundreds of thousands of photo-sites (pixels) that convert light energy into electronic signals. Its size is
measured diagonally and can be 1/4", 1/3", 1/2" or 2/3".
CGI (Common Gateway Interface) -
A specification for communication between a web server and other (CGI) programs. For example, a
HTML page that contains a form might use a CGI program to process the form data once it is submitted.
CIF (Common Intermediate Format) -
CIF refers to the analog video resolutions 352x288 pixels (PAL) and 352x240 pixels (NTSC). See also

.
Client/Server -
Client/server describes the relationship between two computer programs in which one program, the
client, makes a service request from another program, the server, which fulfils the request. Typically,
multiple client programs share the services of a common server program. A web browser is a client
program that requests services (the sending of web pages or files) from a web server.
CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) -
CMOS is a widely used type of semiconductor that uses both negative and positive circuits. Since only
one of the circuit types is on at any given time, CMOS chips require less power than chips using just one
type of transistor. CMOS image sensors also allow processing circuits to be included on the same chip,
an advantage not possible with CCD sensors, which are also much more expensive to produce.
Codec -
In communications engineering, a codec is usually a coder/decoder. Codecs are used in integrated
circuits or chips that convert for example, analog video and audio signals into a digital format for
