GLOSSARY

Bit

Smallest information unit in the EDV as well as in digital transmission systems.

 

Indication for the height of the resolution in the uncompressed PCM size.

CD-R & CD-RW

Recordable optical disc formats that can be used e. g. as Video CD or MP3 with

 

your DVD player.

Cinch-Audio

Through the Cinch sockets, the Dolby Digital or MPEG sound will be released

 

from the DVD as analogue two-channel signal - independent from the channel

 

number on the DVD.

Cinch-Video

The DVD player sends the composite video signal through the yellow Cinch

 

socket, either directly to the corresponding socket on the TV or indirectly

 

through an AV receiver. Cinch is the qualitatively worst picture connection and

 

should only be used if there is no other option.

Component video

Offers the best interface between a video signal source and a TV/Beamer. Uses

 

three RCA-type jacks to separate the component signals making up a video sig-

 

nal. A component video signal is comprised of the luminance (Y) signal and sep-

 

arate chrominance (CB and CR) signals.

Composite video

The most common connection for coloured video pictures that uses a single

 

RCA cable.

Digital output

The DVD player releases its sound information bit by bit through the digital out-

 

put. The way the sound will stream out of the socket must be adjusted in the

 

OSD menu. Most important criteria: Which device is connected to the digital

 

socket?

DivX®

The DivX codec is an MPEG-4 based video compression technology, developed

 

by DivXNetworks, Inc. It can shrink digital video to small sizes while maintaining

 

high visual quality. DivX and associated logos are trademarks of DivXNetworks,

 

Inc. and are used under license.

Dolby Digital

A digital surround sound system which is able to transfer up to 5 sound chan-

 

nels plus a sub-bass channel (5.1 or 3/2.01). Developed by Dolby Laboratories.

DRM

Digital Rights Management. By means of DRM, it is possible to define what

 

rights a user acquires to a file (e.g. a video). This is done e.g. in order to pre-

 

vent illegal duplication.

dts*

Digital Theatre Systems. Digital surround sound system, which works with 5.1

 

channels and corresponds to Dolby Digital on the first view. It differs regarding

 

the data reduction. The DTS system works with higher data rates, i.e lower data

 

reduction. It transfers about 4 times as much data as the Dolby Digital or MPEG-

 

2 process and therefore needs appreciable more storage space on the DVD.

Dual-Layer DVD

A DVD disc that has two layers on a side. A single-sided, dual-layered DVD can

 

hold almost four hours of video and audio, and is also known as a DVD-9.

DVD-Audio

DVD-Audio is a further development of the Audio CD and features a resolution

 

and sampling frequency of 24bit/96kHz (usually 16bit/44kHz). Six audio chan-

 

nels fit on one data media - two channels are also possible when only using

 

24bit/192kHz. A DVD-Audio disc may include additional material like photos,

 

lyrics or video clips as normally DVDs have. You need a special DVD-Audio

 

player for playing DVD-Audio discs.
