Timebase Corrector (T.B.C.) |
Electronic circuit that aligns unsynchronised video signals before signal processing. Used in multiplexers and quad splitters. |
| Token Ring |
A network-access mechanism and ring topology in which a supervisory frame or token is passed from station to station as a poll for network transmission (IEEE 802.5 standard). |
| Triplex™ |
Multiplexer feature that gives you the ability to simultaneously view both playback and live cameras within the same multi-screen, while still encoding. |
TVL (Television Lines - Resolution) |
The maximum number of changes between light and dark on a picture across 3/4 of the width dictates the resolution of a CCTV product, measured in TVL. |
| Twisted Pair |
A cable, often screened, that consists of two conductors twisted together along their length. UNIX‚ An operating system originally designed by AT&T for multi-users applications. Other versions include AIX, XENIX and LINUX. |
