Glossary

Aspect ratio

The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, and that of wide-screen TVs is 16:9.

Multi-language

DVD can have multiple subtitle (up to 32) and audio (up to 8) languages.

Chapter

See “Titles and chapters.”

Composite video signal

Refers to video signal comprised of three kinds of signals combined: an image signal made up of luminance and chrominance signals using the frequency multiplication technique; burst signal providing the basis for color reproduction; and synchronization signal.

Disc menu

A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multiangles, etc. recorded on a DVD.

Parental lock

A feature of this system to automatically determine whether or not to reproduce particular DVD software by comparing its parental level (a measure of undesirability of scenes, etc. from educational viewpoint) set for the software beforehand with that set on this system by the user; if the software’s level is less restrictive than the user-set level, it will be reproduced.

Playback control (PBC)

Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for controlling reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as software having a search function.

JPEG

A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features little deterioration in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.

Region code

A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the regions designated beforehand. All the countries in the world are divided into six regions, each region being identified by a specified region code (or region number). If the region code given to a disc includes a numeral which matches one in the region code of a player, the player can play back the disc.

Letter box

A method of displaying wide images like movies on a 4:3 TV screen with no part of the image deleted, by placing black bands on the top and bottom of the screen. This name has derived from the screen form looking literally like a letter box.

Sampling frequency

Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted to digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how many times the original analog signal is sampled per second.

Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)

A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for later processing, with no data compression used in conversion.

MP3

A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1

(or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

Multi-angle

By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in a single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is called the multi angle function.

Surround

A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.

S-video signal

Video signal separated into a Y (luminance) signal and a C (chrominance) signal. This separation of the video results higher resolution and better quality.

Titles and chapters

A DVD is divided into several titles (large divisions), and each title is divided into chapters (small divisions).

These divisions are assigned their particular numbers, so that they are easily accessed.

Multi-channel

Software having 3 or more channels. Most DVD have more than 5 audio channels. Reproducing such software using multiple speakers creates a realistic sound field like a theater.

Transfer rate

The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in baud per second. The DVD system applies a variable transfer rate system for high efficiency.
