The brightness information in the video picture. The luma signal amplitude
varies in proportion to the brightness of the video signal and corresponds
exactly to the monochrome picture.

luminance

.

LUT

Lookup table. Table containing values used to transform the gray-level
values of an image. For each gray-level value in the image, the
corresponding new value is obtained from the lookup table.

units of measure such as volts and hertz (2) Mega, the prefix for 1,048,576,
or 2

20

, when used with B to quantify data or computer memory.

MB

Megabyte of memory.

Mbytes/s

A unit for data transfer that means 1 million or 10

6

bytes/s.

memory buffer

addresses on the local processor.

MSB

Most significant bit.

MTBF

Mean time between failure.

mux

Multiplexer. A switching device with multiple inputs that selectively
connects one of its inputs to its output.

N
