Vertical Blanking Interval Sample Clauses
The Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) clause defines the period in a video signal when no image is transmitted, typically occurring between the end of one frame and the start of the next. In practical terms, this interval is used to allow the display hardware time to reposition the electron beam in CRT displays or to synchronize digital video frames, and it can also be used to transmit ancillary data such as closed captions or teletext. The core function of this clause is to specify how and when the VBI is utilized, ensuring proper synchronization and data transmission within video systems.
Vertical Blanking Interval. Network retains and reserves any and all rights in and to all signal distribution capacity contained within the analog bandwidth of the signal of the Service and/or the appropriate equivalent portion of the digital signal for the Service (including, without limitation, an MPEG private data stream), between Network's uplink facilities and the Systems' or Affiliate's other first downlink facilities. Affiliate retains and reserves any and all rights in and to, and may use in its sole discretion, all signal distribution capacity contained within the bandwidth of the signal of the Service between each System or other first downlink facility and the Service Subscribers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Network uses: (i) one (1) line of the Vertical Blanking Interval or its digital equivalent ("VBI") contained within the bandwidth of the signal of the Service for closed-captioning for the hearing impaired, (ii) one (1) or more lines of the VBI contained within the bandwidth of the signal of the Service (which number of lines shall be limited to the minimum number of lines necessary to comply with applicable law) solely and exclusively for the transmission of data for the identification and rating of video programming that contains sexual, violent or other indecent material in accordance with applicable law, and/or (iii) one (1) or more audio subcarrier that is required for foreign-language second audio programming ("SAP"), then Affiliate shall transmit such closed-captioning service, identification and programming rating [*] CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS. data, and/or foreign-language SAP to Service Subscribers so long as there is no charge to Affiliate, any System or any Service Subscriber for any of the foregoing. Network covenants that no other information, service, programming, data, material or product shall be contained on the same line(s) of the VBI as any closed-captioning service, identification and rating data, and/or foreign-language SAP. Nothing herein shall preclude Affiliate from exercising and exploiting the rights retained and reserved by Affiliate pursuant to this Section 4(b) by any means and in any locations freely and without restriction; provided, however, that any such use by Affiliate or the Systems shall not materially degrade, or otherwise materially interfere with, the picture quality of the Service or the prin...
Vertical Blanking Interval. Network represents and covenants that all of the signal distribution capacity contained within the analog bandwidth of the signal for the Service and the appropriate equivalent portion of the digital signal for the Service (including, without limitation, an MPEG private data stream) (other than traditional television video and audio signals), including, without limitation, the vertical blanking interval and audio subcarriers and any other portions of the bandwidth that may be created or made useable as a result of the digitization or compression or other non-analog formatting of the signal (collectively, "NON-TRADITIONAL AND VBI SIGNALS"), is not essential to or a part of the Service or necessary for the delivery or distribution of the Service. Network acknowledges and agrees that any and all rights in and to any and all Non-Traditional and VBI Signals and the use thereof are and will be held exclusively by Affiliate and the TWC Systems and that nothing contained herein shall restrict Affiliate or the TWC Systems from using any and all Non-Traditional and VBI Signals by any means or for any purpose so long as such use does not materially degrade or interfere with the quality of the video and audio signal for the Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Affiliate agrees that, provided there is no incremental cost to Affiliate, the TWC Systems or subscribers, Network may use the Non-Traditional and VBI Signals for the purpose of providing, with respect to current programming appearing on the Service, closed-captioning for the hearing-impaired and up to one (1) second language audio feed to Affiliate's and or the TWC Systems' subscribers.
