Galvanometer:
is a type of auto iris lens in which the DC motor drive is contained in the camera rather than in the lens. This lens is cheaper but it cannot be used with cameras which do not have this in built DC motor drive.

Gamma correction:
is a correction built into the camera to adjust for the brightness characteristic of the monitor. The gamma value ranges from 0.6 to 1.0

Geometric distortion:
is an error which causes the reproduced picture to be geometrically different from the original picture.

Graded index cable:
is a type of fibre optics cable which reduces transmission error by means of a cladding having a graded index of refraction.

Ground loop current:
is an AC current produced in a video cable when the two ends of the cable do not have the same ground potential.

Ground loop insulator:
is an isolation transformer which can eliminate ground loop currents by removing any direct connection between the inputs and outputs.

GUI Graphical User Interface:
interfaces the computer with the matrix switcher. Hot areas on the computer screen can be programmed to activate a matrix switcher, VCR etc. It helps in making the CCTV system more user friendly.
