WHAT DOES REVERSE VIDEO MEAN IN ENGLISH?

reverse video

Reverse video

Reverse video is a computer display technique whereby the background and text color values are inverted. On older computers, displays were usually configured to display white text on a black background by default. For emphasis, one swapped the color scheme to bright background with dark text. Nowadays the two tend to be switched, since old reverse video is now the default format and the old default format reverse video/screen, using dark pen on white paper as a metaphor for the window area. Video is usually reversed by inverting the brightness values of the pixels of the involved region of the display. If there are 256 levels of brightness, encoded as 0 to 255, the 255 value becomes 0 and vice versa. A value of 1 becomes 254, 2 of 253, and so on: n is swapped for r - n, for r levels of brightness. This is occasionally called a ones' complement. If the source image is of middle brightness, reverse video can be difficult to see, 127 becomes 128 for example, which is only one level of brightness different.
