Definition of clipping in English English dictionary: Present participle of clip; The action of the verb to clip; An article clipped from a newspaper; A short form (of a word)
The word ad is a clipping of advertisement.; A piece of something removed by clipping
grass clippings.; {n} a part cut off, cutting off; Distortion that occurs when a power amplifier is overdriven This can be seen visually on an oscilloscope, when the peaks of a waveform are flattened, or "clipped off," at the signal's ceiling; When an offensive player blocks an opponent from behind, htting him in the back of the legs or in the back The infraction costs the offense 15 yards However, clipping is legal within three yards of the line of scrimmage; the act of clipping or snipping; Deliberate shearing or shaving from the edge of gold and silver coins Was quite common from the Byzantine to the Colonial eras, so much so that many authorities employed edge devices in order to discourage this practice; The act of embracing; A distortion of the audio signal that occurs when an amplifier reaches the limit of its power output and attempts to increase the output level further by roughly clipping off the tops and bottoms of waveforms Â The sound of clipped waveforms is hard and edgy, and have a much higher percentage of high frequency energy than unclipped signals This energy, being significantly high frequency, gets routed straight to the tweeters, which have very small voice coils that canÃ•t handle as much power as a larger woofer voice coil, and can thus be easily burned out by clipped signals Â Since lack of sufficient amplifier power to drive signals causes clipping, you are more likely to damage a tweeter with a lower power amplifier than a higher power amplifier Â; Audible distortion that occurs when a signal's level exceeds the limits of a particular circuit When an amp is "turned up too loud," and begins to distort, it is said to be clipping On an oscilloscope clipping appears to flatten the tops and/or bottoms of the wave forms as if someone took a scissors and "clipped or cut" the top and bottom of the wave; an excerpt cut from a newspaper or magazine; "he searched through piles of letters and clippings; an excerpt cut from a newspaper or magazine; "he searched through piles of letters and clippings"; (1) (n ) A 2-D or 3-D operation that reduces the number of drawing calculations the CPU makes by eliminating any objects, or portions of objects, outside the viewing area (2) (n ) The process of setting graphics display boundaries Primitives that lie outside the boundary and are not required for display are clipped; (1) a distortion caused by cutting off the peaks of audio signals Clipping usually occurs in the amplifier when it's input signal is too high or when the volume control is turned to high and the amplifier tries to put out too much current and it sends out direct current to the speakers (2) when playing at loud volumes, and the cone of the driver "bottoms out" - it cannot move as far as the signal requires it to, it can produce a noise If an amplifier or speaker is left operating in this condition, serious damage may occur; Color shift caused by the inability of one color space to reproduce all the colors of another color space For example, using a colorimetric rendering intent, any values in the source color space that are outside the gamut of the destination color space are forced into its gamut, or clipped Colors that are within the gamut of both color spaces are left alone The result is that two colors that used to be different may now share the same values, which results in visual color shifts See also non-reproducible colors; The triangle setup engine is a floating-point math processor that receives vertex data and calculates all of the parameters that the rendering engine will require This unit ‘sets up’ and ‘clips’ the triangle for the rendering engine Clipping uses a guard band efficiently and also includes a clip against Z<0 0 and Z>1 0 If you supply Z values outside that range then they will not be rendered Because polygons which are wholly clipped out still need to be transformed it will be to your advantage to remove many polygons before submitting them to the API; If a signal level is too high when it arrives at an amplification or monitoring stage it will suffer clipping due to non-linearities in response of the device The sound will be amplified but will be distorted Back; cutting down to the desired size or shape; The selective removal of an object disjoint with the display area or the non-visible parts of an object that does intersect the display area Parts of an object intersecting the display area may lie outside of the display area or be partially or fully obscured by another intersecting object; blocking an opponent below the waist from behind; this illegal block is a personal foul, punishable by a 15-yard penalty; An amplitude distortion that occurs when signal levels try to exceed the available amplitude range The tops and bottoms of clipped waveforms are typically squared off, generating frequencies that weren't in the original signal; A clipping is an article, picture, or advertisement that has been cut from a newspaper or magazine. bulletin boards crowded with newspaper clippings. = cutting; The act of cutting off, curtailing, or diminishing; the practice of clipping the edges of coins; The conversion of all tones lighter than a specified grey level to white, or darker than a specified grey level to black, causing loss of detail This also applies to individual channels in a color image; Refers to a type of distortion that occurs when an amplifier is driven into an overload condition Usually the "clipped" waveform contains an excess of high-frequency energy The sound becomes hard and edgy Hard clipping is the most frequent cause of "burned out" tweeters Even a low-powered amplifier or receiver driven into clipping can damage tweeters which would otherwise last virtually forever; This happens when a waveform is over amplified When this happens, the vertical tips of the waveforms are cut off and distortion occurs Clipping is usually not desirable; In audio equipment, severe distortion caused by a signal whose peak level exceeds the capabilities of the device processing the signal Results in the flattening of the signal peaks as if they had been "clipped" off; That which is clipped off or out of something; a piece separated by clipping; as, newspaper clippings; The term applied to the phenomenon which occurs when an output signal is limited in some way by the full range of an amplifier, ADC or other device When this occurs, the signal is flattened at the peak values, the signal approaches the shape of a square wave, and high frequency components are introduced Clipping may be hard, as is the case when the signal is strictly limited at some level; or it may be soft, in which case the clipping signal continues to follow the input at some reduced gain; The unpleasant thumping or clicking noise made when a digital signal exceeds the capacity of an audio device; A form of distortion in which an amplifier limits or clips signal peaks Commonly occurs when an amplifier is overdriven beyond its rated output level, resulting in output swing up to limit imposed by the power supply voltage Results is severe audible distortion; - Distortion that occurs when an amplifier is driven to play louder than its power supply can handle The top and bottom of the wave form are "clipped" off; Clipping or clamping is the medical term used to describe one of the methods of doing sympahtectomy Here titanium clips are applied on the nerve to block the transmission of nerve impulses Unlike the cutting method in which the sympathetic chain is destroyed with electrocautery or with the harmonic scalpal the clamping/clipping method gives a possibility of reversal by removing those clips Compensatory Sweating (CS): A medical term used to describe sweating on parts of the body that otherwise would not sweat so much Compensatory sweating is one of the side affects of sympathectomy and affects most or all patients Most of the patients will describe it as mild to moderate and in about 5% it will be described as severe Cutting: A term used in sympathectomy surgery where the nerve is destroyed by electrocautery, harmonic scalpal, or excising a segment of the nerve D; Deliberate shearing or shaving from the edge of gold and silver coins; patterns and mottos are included on edges to discourage the practice; Clippings are small pieces of something that have been cut from something larger. Having mown the lawn, there are all those grass clippings to get rid of. nail clippings; {i} article cut from a newspaper; piece which has been cut off or clipped out; An undesirable over-drive condition that occurs when an amplifier runs out of power and creates a potentially dangerous wave-form distortion that can destroy loudspeaker voice coils, especially in tweeters Clipping is a very audible and unpleasant distortion and always the result of output levels that are in excess of what the particular amplifier/speaker combination is capable of Quickly turning down the volume remedies this condition Incidentally, clipping occurs not because an amplifier is too powerful but because it is underpowered Loudspeaker units damaged by clipping are usually not covered under manufacturer’s warranties and are considered abusive failures
