Glossary

FLAC

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an open file format for lossless audio data compression. While inferior in compression rate to other lossy compressed audio formats, it can often provide higher audio quality.

HDMI

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) 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.

Letterbox (LB 4:3)

A screen size with black bars on the top and bottom of the image to allow viewing of wide-screen (16:9) material on a connected 4:3 TV.

Linear PCM Sound

Linear PCM is a signal recording format used for Audio CDs and on some DVD and Blu-ray Discs. The sound on Audio CDs is recorded at 44.1 kHz with 16 bits. (Sound is recorded between 48 kHz with 16 bits and 96 kHz with 24 bits on DVD discs and between 48 kHz with 16 bits and 192 kHz with 24 bits on Blu-ray Discs.)

Lip Sync

Lip Sync, an abbreviation for lip synchronization, is a technical term that involves both a problem and a capability of maintaining audio and video signals synchronized during post-production and transmission. Whereas the audio and video latency requires complex end-user adjustments, HDMI incorporates an automatic audio and video syncing capability that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically and accurately without user interaction.

Mac address

The Mac address is a unique value assigned to a network device for identification purposes.

Pan Scan (PS 4:3)

A screen size that cuts off the sides of the image to allow viewing of wide-screen (16:9) material on a connected 4:3 TV.

Subtitles

These are the lines of text appearing at the bottom of the screen which translate or transcribe the dialog. They are recorded on many DVDs and Blu-ray Discs.

x.v.Color

x.v.Color reproduces a greater range of color than before, showing almost all of the colors that the human eye can detect.
