What is the pitch diameter of a thread?

A shot video with a clear explanation of the thread term "Pitch Diameter".
The pitch diameter (also referred to as the effective diameter) is the diameter of an imaginary cylinder, which intersects it so that the distance between two intersection points at opposite flanks of a thread flanks equals half the nominal pitch of the thread. (This definition is valid only for n parallel threads).
