xDTS Digital Surround

Digital audio encoding/decoding technology for theatres developed by DTS, Inc. It compresses audio less than Dolby Digital, delivering a higher quality sound reproduction.

xHDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection, allowing you to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.

xLFE (Low Frequency Effects)

Sound effects of low frequencies which are output from a sub woofer in Dolby Digital or DTS, etc. By adding a deep bass with a frequency between 20 to 120 Hz, audio becomes more powerful.

xPCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

A method of converting analog audio to digital audio for easy enjoyment of digital sound.

xSampling frequency

To convert analog audio to digital, analog data should be quantified. This process is called sampling, and the number of times per second the analog data is quantified is called the sampling frequency. A standard music CD stores data quantified at 44,100 times per second, which is expressed as a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. Generally speaking, a higher sampling frequency means better sound quality.

xx.v.Colour

x.v.Colour is a more familiar term for the xvYCC standard proposed by Sony, and is a trademark of Sony. xvYCC is an international standard for colour space in video.

This standard can express a wider colour range than the currently used broadcast standard.
