IC Card
IC Card:
A smart card, chip card and integrated circuit card (ICC), is an pocket-sized card with embedded integrated circuits. It contains volatile memory and microprocessor components. The card is made of plastic, generally polyvinyl chloride. It may also provide strong security authentication for single sign-on (SSO) with large organizations.


iD Photo MO Disk
iD Photo MO Disk:
The smallest rewritable optical storage medium for digital cameras. A joint development from Olympus, Sanyo and Hitachi Maxell. It features an amazing capacity of 730 MB. This means about 2000 photos can be taken before the media needs to be changed.


Illustrator
Illustrator:
Popular vector graphics program from Adobe.






Image Capacity
Image capacity:
The number of images that can be taken before the storage medium needs to be replaced.




Image Compression
Image compression:
In order to store digital pictures economically, the image data is compressed. However, compression often causes a reduction in picture quality.



Image Plane
Image Plane:
The area inside the camera where the object is focused clearly. The image plane can be compared to the film plane in analog cameras; the difference being that the flim is replaced by the CCD chip.


Image Transmission
Image transmission/ transfer:
The digitization of images means they can be transmitted via data carries or networks without the loss of quality or copied an infinite number of times.



Index Print
Index print:
Reduce display of several photos on one print.





Ink Jet Printer
Ink jet Printer:
A printer that by spraying tiny black or color ink dots onto paper produced a hardcopy image.





IC
IC:
Integrated Circuit.It is an electronic circuit manufactured by the patterned diffusion of trace elements into the surface of a  thin substrate of semiconductor material




Inteface
Interface:
Connecting point between the computer and an external device, e.g. mouse, scanner, modem, digital camera. (Serial interface, Parallel interface)





Intrenet
Internet:
Worldwide network of computers that allows for the global exchange of information.




ISDN
ISDN:
Integrated Services Digital Network. Digital network for the fast transmission of voice, data, picture, etc between uniformly standardised user interface.






ISO
ISO Norm:
International Standard Organization.
