Video Purifier... Video signals are contaminated by noise in many different ways even if they are completely digital. Sources of noise are for example storage media, image acquisition equipments (e.g. cameras, digitizers etc.), transmission channels (e.g. broadcasting, satellite links, cable networks, statistical multiplexers) and receiving and recording equipment. The noise has different characteristics, for example: additive white gaussian noise from electronic equipment, salt and pepper noise from over-the-air transmissions, video grain and packet loss or frame-loss in digital transmissions over unreliable networks.
