V-blanking
The portion of the video signal that occurs between
the end of one field and the beginning of the next.
During this time, the electron beams in the cameras
and monitors are turned off so that they can return
from the bottom of the screen to the top without
showing traces of movement on the screen. When
the position of V-blanking is not adjusted
correctly, a horizontal black bar appears on the
screen.
VBS
Abbreviation of Video, Burst and Sync. A
composite signal consisting of video signal, burst
signal and sync signal.
VITC
Abbreviation of Vertical Interval Time Code.
Time code recorded on a video signal track during
V-blanking interval. It can be read correctly even
during slow or still picture playback.
