ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Single-channel video

Okay kiddo, let me explain what single-channel video means.

Imagine you have a TV that only shows one channel at a time. That means the TV can only display one show, movie, or video at a time.

Now, let's talk about video. You know how when you watch a video on YouTube, you see different things happening on the screen? Single-channel video is different – it only shows one thing at a time.

Basically, a single-channel video is a video that displays only one image or stream of information. This means that the video only shows one thing at a time, like a picture or text on the screen.

So, if you were watching a single-channel video of a flower, you wouldn't see anything else except the flower. It's like looking at a photograph that doesn't move.

Single-channel videos are often used by artists and filmmakers to create a specific mood or to convey a certain message. They are also used in some scientific and medical research to record and analyze specific data.

Does that make sense, little one?
