4-field sequence

See color field.

4fsc

Four times the frequency of SC (subcarrier). The sampling rate of a D2 digital video signal with respect to the subcarrier frequency of an NTSC or PAL analog video signal. The 4fsc frequency is 14.3 MHz in NTSC and 17.7 MHz in PAL.

4:2:2

A commonly-used term for a component digital video format. The details of the format are specified in the ITU-R BT.601-2 standard document. The numerals 4:2:2 denote the ratio of the sampling frequencies of the single luminance channel to the two color difference channels. For every four luminance samples, there are two samples of each color difference channel. See ITU-R BT.601-2.

4:2:2:4

Same as 4:2:2 but with the addition of a key channel which is sampled four times for every four samples of the luminance channel.

4:4:4

Similar to 4:2:2 except that for every four luminance samples, the color channels are also sampled four times.

4:4:4:4

Similar to 4:2:2:4 except that for every four luminance samples, the color and key channels are also sampled four times.

7000 Signal Management System

A sophisticated serial digital video and AES/EBU digital audio routing switcher made by Grass Valley. Capable of controlling component and composite analog video/audio and serial component and composite digital video/audio within the same frame. Offers frame sizes from 16 x 16 to 128 x 128 with expansion up to 1024 x 1024.
