chroma bug
Slang name for a Chroma Upsampling Error (CUE). The chroma bug is the tiny horizontal streaks of incorrect coloration that often occur with DVD players. These streaks show along the top and bottom edges of color patches and may also show up during playback as indentations along diagonal color boundaries giving a serrated or comb like edge.

- chromatic dispersion
In fiber optic transmissions, chromatic dispersion is a term used to describe the spreading of a light pulse as it travels down a fiber when light pulses launched close together (high data rates) spread too much and result in errors and a loss of information. Chromatic dispersion can be compensated for with the use of […]
