frame buffer
<hardware> Part of a video system in which an image is stored, pixel by
pixel and which is used to refresh a raster image. The term "video memory"
suggests a fairly static display whereas a frame buffer holds one frame from a
sequence of frames forming a moving image.
Frame buffers are found in frame grabbers and time base correction systems, for
example.
