S-video

A signal format in which Y (luminance)
and C (chrominance) signals are separated
to reduce interference between them so
that noiseless images are reproduced.

Sync signal

and horizontal sync signals used for
synchronizing the scanning patterns of the
video camera and the monitor.

TBC

Abbreviation of Time Base Corrector.
Electronic circuits to electrically stabilize
the playback signals by removing color
variation and roll in the playback picture
caused by irregularity in drum rotation and
tape movement. Time base correction
reduces deterioration of picture quality
when transmitting or copying playback
signals.

Time code

Signals recorded on the tape to supply
information on tape position such as the
hour, minute, second and frame, to assist
in setting edit points or searching for
particular scenes. This unit can cope with
both DF (Drop Frame) and NDF (Non
Drop Frame) (DSR-45 only).

Unloading

When being unloaded, the tape is put into
the cassette case from the tape path of the
VCR. Generally, this is done automatically
when you press the EJECT button. Also
called unthreading.

Unthreading
