 Hdmi High-Definition Multimedia Interface

09 DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround is an audio format to record 48 kHz/24 bits audio signals in 5.1 channels.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is an audio format using lossy coding. It can record 7.1 channels at 96 kHz/24 bits.

DTS-HD Master Audio

DTS-HD Master Audio is an audio format using lossless coding. With BD-ROMs, 7.1 channels can be recorded at 96 kHz/24 bits, or 5.1 channels at 192 kHz/24 bits.

Ethernet

A standard for local area networks (LANs) used to connect multiple computers, etc. in the same location. This player supports 100BASE-TX.

Frames and fields

Aframe is the unit for one of the still pictures which compose motion pictures. One frame consists of a picture of odd lines and a picture of even lines called fields in video signal with interlaced scan method (480i, 1080i, etc.).

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

See About HDMI on page 18.

Interactive audio

The audio signals recorded in the titles of BD-ROMs. They include for example the clicking sound made when the menu screen is operated.

Interlaced scan

With this method, one picture is displayed by scanning it twice. The odd lines are displayed in the first pass, the even lines are displayed in the second, to form a single picture (frame). Interlaced scan is indicated in this player and operating instructions by an “i” after the resolution value (for example, 480i).

IP address

An address that identifies a computer or other device connected to the Internet or local area network. It is represented a number in four sections.

Linear PCM

This is referred as the audio signals that are not compressed.

MAC (Media Access Control) address

Ahardware identification number assigned specifically to the network device (LAN card, etc.).

MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group)

The name of a family of standards used to encode video and audio signals in a digital compressed format. The video encoding standards include MPEG-1 Video, MPEG-2 Video, MPEG-4 Visual, MPEG-4 AVC, etc. The audio encoding standards include MPEG- 1 Audio, MPEG-2 Audio, MPEG-2 AAC, etc.

Parental Lock

See Changing the Parental Lock level for viewing DVDs and Changing the Age Restriction for viewing BD-ROMs on page 50.

Picture-in-Picture (P-in-P)

This is a function for superimposing a sub video on the main

74video. Some BD-ROMs include secondary video, which can be

En	superimposed on the primary video.

Port number

This is a sub-address provided below the IP address for simultaneously connecting to multiple parties during Internet communications.

Progressive scan

With this method, one picture is consisted of a single picture, without dividing it in two pictures. Progressive scan provides clear pictures with no flicker, in particular for still pictures that contain much text, graphics, or horizontal lines. Progressive scan is indicated in this player and operating instructions by a “p” after the resolution value (for example, 480p).

Proxy server

This is a relay server for ensuring fast access and safe communications when connecting to the Internet from an internal network.

Region number

See About region numbers on page 10.

Secondary audio

Some BD-ROMs include sub audio streams mixed with the main audio stream. These sub audio streams are called “secondary audio”. On some discs this secondary audio is recorded as the audio for the secondary video.

Secondary video

Some BD-ROMs include sub videos superimposed on the main videos using the Picture-in-Picture function. These sub videos are called “secondary video”.

Subnet mask

This is used to identify which part of the IP address corresponds to the subnet (a separately managed network). The subnet mask is expressed as “255.255.255.0”.

USB(Universal Serial Bus)

USB is the industry standard for connecting peripherals to PCs.

VC-1

A video codec developed by Microsoft and standardized by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE). Some BDs include videos encoded in this codec.
