Hi:
Clipping in an audio signal results when an audio device receives a
signal that is too loud. The audio signal distorts into square-waves
because the "tops" of the signal are flattened. The device cannot
handle power levels over a certain level. When this level is exceeded,
clipping occurs. Clipping is usually harsher in digital devices than
in analog devices. Analog clipping tends to be fuzzy and soft compared
to digital clipping.
What is the visual-equivalent of "clipping"? Is there a difference
between analog and digital in terms of visual-clipping? If so, what is
the difference?
Auditory-clipping can damage speakers. Can visual-"clipping" damage
monitors?
Thanks,
Radium
