Glossary

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

DivX

DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media fi les contain highly compressed video with high visual quality that maintains a relatively small fi le size.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either fi lm or video. This unit can determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable method of progressive output.

For NTSC

Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture fi lm generally being 24 frames per second. Video is 60 fi elds per second (two fi elds making up one frame).

For PAL

Film is 25 frames per second. Video is 50 fi elds per second (two fi elds making up one frame).

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture.

There are about 30 frames shown each second.

One frame is made up of two fi elds. A regular television shows these fi elds one after the other to create frames.

A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of two alternating fi elds, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high.

A fi eld still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so picture quality is lower.

Progressive/Interlace

The PAL video signal standard has 576 interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning, called 576p, uses twice the number of scan lines. For the NTSC standard, these are called 480i and 480p respectively.

Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video recorded on media such as DVD-Video.

Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.

MPEG4

A compression system for use on mobile devices or a network, that allows highly effi cient recording at a low bit rate.

I/P/B

I: Intra coded picture

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures. B:Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding).

Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.
