Additional Information
BD-RE (page 69)BD-RE (Blu-ray Disc Rewritable) is a
recordable and rewritable Blu-ray Disc,
available in the same capacities as the BD
below. The re-recordable feature makes
extensive editing and time-shifting
applications possible.
BD-ROM (page69)BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only
Memory) are commercially produced discs
and are available in the same capacities as the
BD below. Other than conventional movie
and video contents, these discs have
enhanced features such as interactive content,
menu operations using pop-up menus,
selection of subtitle display, and slideshow.
Although a BD-ROM may contain any form
of data, most BD-ROM discs will contain
movies in High Definition format, for
playback on Blu-ray Disc/DVD players.
Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page6 9)A disc format developed for recording/
playing high-definition (HD) video (for
HDTV, etc.), and for storing large am ounts of
data. A single layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to
25 GB, and a dual-layer Blu-ray Disc holds
up to 50 GB of data.
Deep Colour (page50)These are video signals for which the colour
depth of signals passing through an HDMI
jack have been enhanced. With a Non-Deep
Colour-compatible player, the number of
colours 1 pixel can express is 8 bits per
component video signal (Y, PB/CB, PR/CR)
(24 bits/16,777,216 colours). However, with
a Deep Colour-compatible player, 1 pixel can
express more bits, such as 12 bits per
component video signal (Y, PB/CB, PR/CR)
(36 bits). With more bits, the gradation of
colour depth can be expressed more finely,
and continuous colour changes will be
displayed more smoothly.
DLNA (page 44, 60)The “Digital Living Network Alliance” is a
non-profit organization that formulates
DLNA Interoperability Guidelines for

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) (page 17)HDMI is an interface that supports both video
and audio on a single digital connection. The
HDMI connection carries standard- to high-
definition video signals and multi-channel
audio signals to AV components such as
HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without
degradation.
The HDMI specification supports HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Contents
Protection), a copy protection technology fo r
digital entertainment contents for HDMI.
LTH (Low to High) (page70)LTH is a recording system that supports
