Glossary

Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can also be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also Digital audio.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).

BD-J

BD-J is the Java specification for BD-ROM, allowing content providers to put interactive material linked to specific titles on the disc.

BDAV

BDAV is one of the application formats used by writable Blu-ray Discs (BD-R or BD-RE). It corresponds to the VR mode of the DVD standard.

BDMV

BDMV is one of the Blu-ray Disc standards (application standard for BD-ROM). It corresponds to the Video mode of the DVD standard.

Default Gateway

Default Gateway is a node on a computer network that serves as an access point to another network. A default gateway (such as a computer and router) is used to forward all traffic that is not addressed to a station within the local subnet.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server

A DHCP server is a server that allocates IP addresses to hosts (network devices). In most cases, a broadband router serves as a DHCP server in a home network.

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals by an analog-to-digital converter, generating a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analog audio.

Dolby Digital Plus

Dolby Digital Plus is the next-generation audio technology for all high-definition programming and media. It combines the efficiency to meet future broadcast demands with the power and flexibility to realize the full audio potential expected in the upcoming high- definition era. Built on Dolby Digital, the multi-channel audio standard for BD and DVD, Dolby Digital Plus has been designed for the next-generation AV Systems (amplifier or AV receiver) but remains fully compatible with all current AV Systems.

Dolby Digital Plus delivers multi-channel audio programs of up to

7.1channels and supports multiple programs in a single encoded bitstream with the maximum bit rate potential of 6 Mbps and the maximum bit rate performance of 1.7 Mbps on BD, and it outputs Dolby Digital bitstreams for playback on existing Dolby Digital systems. Dolby Digital Plus can accurately reproduce the sound originally intended by directors and producers.

It also features multi-channel sound with discrete channel output, interactive mixing and streaming capability in advanced systems.

Supported by HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), a single- cable digital connection is possible for high-definition audio and video.

Dolby TrueHD

Dolby TrueHD is the next-generation lossless encoding technology developed for high-definition optical discs in the upcoming era.

Dolby TrueHD delivers tantalizing sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master, unlocking the true high-definition entertainment experience on high-definition optical discs in the next generation.

When coupled with high-definition video, Dolby TrueHD offers an unprecedented home theater experience with stunning sound and high-definition picture.

It supports bit rates of up to 18 Mbps and records up to 8 full-range channels individually with 24-bit/96 kHz audio. It also features extensive metadata including dialogue normalization and dynamic range control. Supported by HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), a single-cable digital connection is possible for high- definition audio and video. BD standards currently limit their maximum number of audio channels to eight, whereas Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD support more than eight audio channels.

DRM (Digital Rights Management)

DRM is one of several technologies that controls access to and use of digital data, such as music, movies and other copyrighted contents.
