A
Aliasing
Aliasing, or alias effects, are mistakes that appear during digital scanning of
sounds, videos or images when the sample frequency (in audio editing) or
resolution (in video editing) used are too low.
ATN:
This abbreviation stands for "Absolute Track Number". Which is the actual
time code of DV and HDV recordings recorded using the helical scan method.
Audio
This is then referred to as "audio" when the sound signal is saved directly as
such on the PC. The actual sound is recorded or played back here.
AudioID
Audio ID is a process used to determine the title and artist name base on
musical properties. An Internet connection is required to access the AudioID
database.
AVCHD
Stands for "Advanced Video Codec Definition". It is an HD format for video
cameras which has been developed by Panasonic and SONY. In comparison
to the HDV format, a meaningful quality improvement can be seen here.
For the video recording MPEG 4 AVC/H.264, and for audio recording Dolby
®
Digital or Linear PCM are used. The maximum bit rate is 25 Megabits/sec.
AVI
The AVI format (
Audio Video Interleaved
) isn't actually a proper video format!
Rather, it is a so-called "container" for which the conventions for transferring
audio and video files to the program are only loosely defined. More in this
topic can be found in General notes on AVI videos.
