ABSTRACT

Periodically, we have mentioned the word compositing in the course of this book. What does this term mean? Compositing, in its most literal sense, means taking a stack of items and making them into one item. When we discussed analog video standards, we referred to one such standard as Composite. Composite video, if you recall, is a video signal in which all the different luma and chroma electrical signals are integrated into one electrical waveform. They become one composite signal.
