Glossary
AVCHD
AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition video 
cameras that can be used to record and play high-resolution 
HD images.
BD-J
Some BD-Video discs contain Java applications, and these 
applications are called BD-J. You can enjoy various interactive 
features in addition to playing normal video.
Bitstream
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 
5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby 
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these 
signals can also be multi-channel audio.
Dolby Digital Plus
Multi-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible 
using Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel 
output.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that 
reproduces the studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to 
7.1 channel output.
Down-mixing
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found 
on some discs into fewer channels.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is 
good separation between the channels, so realistic sound 
effects are possible.
DTS-HD
DTS-HD is a high-quality, sophisticated audio format used in 
movie theaters. Previous DTS Digital Surround-compatible 
equipment can play DTS-HD as DTS Digital Surround audio. 
BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
≥ Original audio cannot be output from this unit.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
This is a signal format achiev ed by improving the previous 
DTS, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 formats. It is compatible with 
sampling frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up to 
7.1 channel output.
≥ Original audio cannot be output from this unit.
DTS-HD Master Audio
This is a lossless audio format and compatible with 96 kHz/
7.1ch or less. In addition, faithful reproduction of the master 
audio is enabled using lossless audio encoding technology. 
BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
≥ Original audio cannot be output from this unit.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of 
sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and 
the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.
Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between 
the loudest and softest sounds. Th is means you can listen at 
low volumes but still hear dialog clearly. Film and video
DVD-Video are recorded using either film or video. This unit 
can determine which type has been used, then uses the most 
suitable method of progressive output.
Folder
This is a place on the disc or SD card where groups of data are 
stored together. Additional folders can be created within 
folders, and you can make detailed classifications depending 
on the folder structure. (
>32)
Frames and fields
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you 
see on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.
≥ A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, 
but picture quality is generally better.
≥ A field still shows less picture information so it may be 
rougher, but there is no blurring.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products. 
Unlike conventional connections , it transmits uncompressed 
digital video and audio signals on a single cable.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still 
pictures. If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital 
cameras, etc., the data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its 
original size. The benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture 
quality considering the degree of compression.
LPCM (Linear PCM)
This is a type of PCM format.
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found 
on CDs. Film: Recorded at 24 frames 
per second. (Recorded at 30 
frames per second as well). Generally appropriate for 
motion picture films.
Video: Recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second.  Generally appropriate for TV drama programs or 
animation.
