1.5 Some Technical Terms

TERM	MEANING

	lounge room.
Button	A button on a Remote Control (shown in Bold Face, e.g. DVB) or
	displayed on screen.
Chapter and Track	Each title can contain one or more “Chapters” or “Tracks”
DRC	DVR Remote Control
DVD	Digital Versatile Disk. A removable storage device for video and data
	files. We make a distinction between:
	• DVD-R or DVD+R, disks that can be recorded once only.
	• DVD-RW or DVD+RW, disks that are rewritable.
	Recordings on rewritable DVD disks can be done in several sessions
	(prior to disk finalisation).
	DVDs recorded can always be played back on this device, but to make a
	recorded DVD playable on a computer and other DVD players a process
	of “Disk Finalisation” needs to be performed.
DVR	Digital Video Recorder. A machine that can record video using digital
	(rather than analogue) technology. This term is perhaps not used as
	much as PVR, but is probably the better term.
HDD	Hard Disk Drive. A storage device for large amounts of data. The
	Tevion DVR has an HDD capacity of 400Gb,
Key	A key on a Remote Control (shown in Bold Face, e.g. HDD)
PVR	Personal Video Recorder. A machine that can record video not just for
	you but for anyone else who is around.
Recording Quality	This device can record on HDD and DVD in six different densities
	giving rise to six different levels of recording quality each taking up
	increasing amounts of space:

	EP (Extended Play)	4 hrs	371 hrs	Moderate

	also used for a text field associated with a recorded TV program in
	which you can enter a textual name to identify the program.

	tape cassettes.
