The piece of a video signal containing the spatial detail of one complete image; the entire set of scan lines. In an interlaced system, a frame contains two fields.

Frame (DVD and CD)

The piece of a video signal containing the spatial detail of one complete image; the entire set of scan lines. In an interlaced system, a frame contains two fields.

Frame (Electric Motors)

An individual unit of movie film. The American standard film speed is 24 frames per second; there are 16 frames per foot of 35mm film.

Frame (Multimedia)

A frame of video is essentially one picture or "still" out of a video stream. By playing these individual frames fast enough, it looks like people are "moving" on the screen. It's the same principle as flip cards, cartoons, and movies.

Frame (Newton)

An unordered collection of slots, each of which consists of a name and value pair. The value of a slot can be any type of object, and slots can be added or removed from frames dynamically. A frame can have a user-specified class. Frames can be used like records in Pascal and structs in C, and also as objects that respond to messages. Source: NPG

Frame (Technology)

1. In asynchronous serial communications, a unit of transmission that is sometimes measured in elapsed time and begins with the start bit that precedes a character and ends with the last stop bit that follows the character. 2. In synchronous communications, a package of information transmitted as a single unit. Every frame follows the same basic organization and contains control information, such as synchronizing characters, station address, and an error-checking value, as well as a variable amount of data. For example, a frame used in the widely accepted HDLC and related SDLC protocols begins and ends with a unique flag (01111110). See also HDLC, SDLC. 3. A single screen-sized image that can be displayed in sequence with other, slightly different, images to create animated drawings. 4. The storage required to hold one screen-sized image of text, graphics, or both. 5. A rectangular space containing, and defining the proportions of, a graphic. 6. The part of an on-screen window (title bar and other elements) that is controlled by the operating system rather than by the application running in the window. 7. A rectangular section of the page displayed by a Web browser that is a separate HTML document from the rest of the page. Web pages can have multiple frames, each of which is a separate document. Associated with each frame are the same capabilities as for an unframed Web page, including scrolling and linking to another frame or Web site; these capabilities can be used independently of other frames on the page. Frames, which were introduced in Netscape Navigator 2.0, are often used as a table of contents for one or more HTML documents on a Web site. Most current Web browsers support frames, although older ones do not. See also HTML document, Web browser.

Frame (Telco)

Frame (Television)

All of the scan lines, both odd and even, that make up one complete "painting" of the video screen. Also any one exposed picture on a strip of movie film. Note that for interlaced video, one "frame" does not necessarily yield a single complete image subject-wise since subject motion may have occurred between capture of the odd field and capture of the even field.

Frame (Tennis)

The oval portion of the racket that contains the strings; an unstrung racket.

Frame (Video)
