Additional Information

DTS Neo:6

DTS Neo:6 can generate 6.1 channel surround sound from any matrixed stereo source (such as video or TV) and from 5.1 channel sources. It uses both the channel information already encoded into the source, as well as its ownpro- cessing to determine channel localization (with two channel sources, the “.1” subwoofer channel is generated by bass management in the receiver). Two modes (Cinema and Music) are available using DTS Neo:6 with two chan- nel sources.

DTS-ES

DTS-ES is a decoder that is capable of decod- ing both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Ma- trix 6.1 encoded sources. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 gives ‘true’ 6.1 channel sound, with a comple- tely separate (discrete) surround back chan- nel. DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 has a surround back channel matrixed into the surround left/right channels. Both sources are also compatible with a conventional DTS 5.1 channel decoder.

Dynamic range control

Dolby Digital has a function for compressing the difference between the loudest and softest sounds: Dynamic range control. This control ensures sounds with an increased dynamic range are heard clearly even at low volume le- vels.

EXIF (Exchangeable image file)

A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for digital still cameras. Digital cameras from var- ious manufacturers use this compressed file format which carries date, time and thumbnail information, as well as the picture data.

Group

A collection of tracks on a DVD audio disc. Equivalent to a DVD video title.

ID3 tag

This is a method of embedding track-related information in an MP3 file. This embedded in- formation can include the track title, the ar- tist’s name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, comments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3 Tag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted as to the num- ber of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back.

ISO9660 format

This is the international standard for the for- mat logic of CD-ROM folders and files. For the ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the following two levels.

Level 1:

The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con- sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English capital letters and half-byte numerals and the “_” sign, with a file-extension of three charac- ters).

Level 2:

The file name can have up to 31 characters (in- cluding the separation mark “.” and a file ex- tension). Each folder contains less than 8 hierarchies.
