dot crawl

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

An artifact of composite video sources in which dots seem to crawl between contrasting colors. This is the result of an inexpensive comb filter that does not entirely separate the luma from the chroma (the black & white from the color). Also called "cross-luma."
