Appendix D: Glossary

ASF

ASF is an abbreviation of “Advanced Streaming Format,” and is a data compression format for streaming developed by Microsoft Corporation. ASF can contain the various data types such as audio, video, and text.

Aspect ratio

A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV. It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.

Bitstream

The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Chapter/title

Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track for Video CD or Audio CD.

Component video

Video signals with three channels of separate information that makes up the picture. There are some types of component video, such as R/G/B and Y/CB(PB)/CR(PR).

Composite video

A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization information.

Dolby Digital (AC3)

A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the original four channels for playback. Because the audio is recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a two-channel stereo system.

Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is enhanced channel separation.

Down-mix

Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output connectors.

DTS

A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six (5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder, either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems.

Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dynamic range

The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.

Interlaced scanning

In a conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display monitor in between lines of two halves. The Interlaced scanning system places lines of the second half of the picture in-between lines of the first half of the picture.

JPEG

A popular file format for still image compression and storage. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.

There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.

•baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.

•progressive JPEG: used for the web

•lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now

Linear PCM audio

PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the usual method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.

MP3

MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data reduction of about 1:10.

MPEG-4

MPEG-4 is an audio/video data compression format, which is highly efficient and more stable than MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.

MPEG Multichannel

This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1 channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie theater experience in your own home.

PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)

A color television system format used extensively in Western Europe.

PBC

PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the disc through menus.

RGB

An abbreviation for Red, Green and Blue. Color monitors and color television sets display different hues by mixing these three colors.

Track

The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.
