What is not a factor in determining the refractive index of air?
- A.
A. Atmospheric pressure.
- B.
B. Propagation medium.
- C.
C. Temperature.
- D.
D. Moisture.
Correct Answer
B. B. Propagation medium.Explanation
The refractive index of a medium is a measure of how much light slows down when it passes through that medium. In the case of air, the refractive index is primarily determined by its temperature. As temperature increases, the refractive index of air decreases. Atmospheric pressure, moisture content, and other factors can also have a small effect on the refractive index of air, but the propagation medium itself, which refers to the air itself, does not play a significant role in determining the refractive index.Rate this question:

The determining factor in calculating the correct size of a waveguide is
- A.
A. frequency.
- B.
B. power output.
- C.
C. bandwidth of the transmission medium.
- D.

Correct Answer
A. A. frequency.Explanation
The correct size of a waveguide is determined by the frequency of the transmitted signal. Different frequencies require different sizes of waveguides to ensure efficient transmission. The size of the waveguide affects the propagation characteristics of the signal, such as attenuation and dispersion. Therefore, selecting the appropriate size based on the frequency is crucial for optimal signal transmission.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. A. Material can be edited generation after generation without noticeable degradation in quality.Explanation
A major advantage of digital recording over analog recording is that material can be edited generation after generation without noticeable degradation in quality. This means that the recorded material can be modified and manipulated multiple times without any loss in the overall sound quality. In analog recording, each generation of copying or editing can introduce noise and degradation, resulting in a loss of fidelity. However, in digital recording, the information is stored as numerical data, allowing for precise and accurate editing without any noticeable loss in quality.Rate this question:

Which digital video tape format uses a 4:2:2 standard, with an 8 bit sampling rat, 19mm wide tape, and has a 94 minute recording time?
- A.
A. D1.
- B.
B. D2.
- C.
C. D3.
- D.
D. D4.
Correct Answer
A. A. D1.Explanation
D1 is the correct answer because it is a digital video tape format that uses a 4:2:2 standard, which refers to the chroma subsampling ratio. The 8 bit sampling rate indicates the color depth of the format. The 19mm wide tape is a characteristic of the D1 format. Additionally, D1 has a recording time of 94 minutes, which matches the given information.Rate this question:

What is the means of measuring the amount of time that has been played or recorded on a video tape recorder (VTR)?
- A.
A. Tape meter.
- B.
B. Tracker.
- C.
C. Counter.
- D.
D. Display clock.
Correct Answer
C. C. Counter.Explanation
The means of measuring the amount of time that has been played or recorded on a video tape recorder (VTR) is a counter. A counter keeps track of the elapsed time on the VTR, allowing users to easily monitor the duration of their recordings or playback. This feature is essential for managing and organizing video content effectively. Tape meter, tracker, and display clock do not specifically measure the amount of time played or recorded on a VTR, making them incorrect options.Rate this question:

What part of the video switcher allows titles or other video scenes to be inserted into a full screen background?
- A.
A. Effects keyer.
- B.
B. Effects preview multiplier.
- C.
C. Effects program multiplier.
- D.
D. Transition pattern generator.
Correct Answer
A. A. Effects keyer.Explanation
The effects keyer is the part of the video switcher that allows titles or other video scenes to be inserted into a full screen background. It is a tool used in video production to create overlays or layering effects by combining multiple video sources together. The effects keyer enables the user to superimpose graphics or other video content onto the main video feed, creating a visually appealing and dynamic composition.Rate this question:

The GVG-110 video switcher effects key fills with
- A.
A. linear signal and chroma signal from the effects keyer.
- B.
B. key bus video or an internally-generated color matte signal.
- C.
C. key bus keying signal or an internally-generated color matte signal.
- D.
D. luminance signal and chroma key signal from the effects keyer.
Correct Answer
B. B. key bus video or an internally-generated color matte signal.Explanation
The GVG-110 video switcher effects key fills with either key bus video or an internally-generated color matte signal. This means that the effects keyer can use either the video signal from the key bus or a color matte signal that is generated internally to fill the key. This allows for flexibility in creating different visual effects during video switching.Rate this question:

The purpose of the GVG-110 general purpose contact-closure editor interface (GPI) is to allow
- A.
A. remote control of switcher transitions.
- B.
B. remote programming of all switcher functions.
- C.
C. parallel interface with the switcher effects memory.
- D.
D. serial interface programming with the switcher effects memory.
Correct Answer
A. A. remote control of switcher transitions.Explanation
The purpose of the GVG-110 general purpose contact-closure editor interface (GPI) is to allow remote control of switcher transitions. This means that the GPI can be used to remotely initiate and control the switching between different sources or inputs on a switcher. This allows for seamless transitions between different video feeds or other inputs without the need for manual intervention.Rate this question:

The GVG-110 video switcher serial interface allows
- A.
A. remote control of switcher transitions.
- B.
B. remote programming of all switcher functions.
- C.
C. serial interface programming with the switcher effects memory.
- D.
D. remote control of the switcher by a personal computer or digital picture manipulator.
Correct Answer
D. D. remote control of the switcher by a personal computer or digital picture manipulator.Explanation
The GVG-110 video switcher serial interface allows remote control of the switcher by a personal computer or digital picture manipulator. This means that the switcher can be controlled and manipulated from a separate device such as a computer or digital picture manipulator, providing convenience and flexibility in operating the switcher.Rate this question:
