In the below video one can hear a conversation between the Mission Control Center, Houston (Johnson Space Center) and a Russian cosmonaut on board the ISS:

The official at the Mission Control Center is apparently translating what the Russian cosmonaut is saying.
We hear the NASA official say, “Any spots or areas … can you see anything … irregular spots? No! Just bright dots on the screen … many bright dots. The white dots are actually … the pixel defect. But do you see anything cloudlike? No! Alright.”
What do the “spots”, “areas”, “irregular spots”, “bright dots” and “cloudlike” descriptions mean?! What is being described?
And “pixel defect” with that budget (the ISS)?!
