• Bandwidth
A term describing the capacity to transfer data. Greater bandwidth is needed to
sustain a higher transfer rate. Greater bandwidth can be achieved, for example, by
using a wider bus.
•
Blanking period
The portion of a video signal after the end of a line or frame, and before the
beginning of a new line or frame. During this period, the video signal is "blank"
so that a scan line can be brought back to the beginning of the new line or frame.
The portion of a video signal after the end of a line and before the beginning of
a new line is known as the
horizontal blanking period
. The portion of a video signal
after the end of a frame and before the beginning of a new frame is known as the

DDR2 SDRAM
Double Data Rate2 Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory
. A type of
memory used for image capture and processing. SDRAM allows the Matrox Solios
eV-CL to access data at very high speed, which is important for I/O-bound
functions.
