Glossary
Bitstream
The digital form of multi-channel data (e.g. 
5.1 channel) before decoding. 
Decoder
A decoder restores coded audio signals on 
DVDs to normal.
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. A large amount of audio 
information can be recorded on one disc using 
this method.
Dolby Pro Logic
A surround system where a 4-channel audio 
track is recorded as 2 channels and then is 
restored to 4 channels for play. The surround 
channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 
7kHz.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie 
theaters around the world. There is good 
separation between the channels, so realistic 
sound effects are possible.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.
Film and video
DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or 
video. Usually, film is recorded at 24 frames per 
second, the rate movies are filmed at, while 
video is recorded at 30 frames per second.
Frame still and field still
Frames are the still pictures that make moving 
pictures. About thirty are shown each second. A 
frame still may appear blurred but overall quality 
is high.
Two fields appear alternately to make up one 
frame. A field still is not blurred but picture 
quality is lower. 
Interlace and progressive output
NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 
interlaced (I) scan lines, whereas progressive 
scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. 
This is called 480P.I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard 
adopted for use with DVD-Video, codes frames 
using these 3 picture types.
I:Intra coded picture
This picture has the best quality and is the 
best to use when adjusting the picture.
P:Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I or 
P-pictures.
B:Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated by comparing 
past and future I and P-pictures so it has 
the lowest volume of information.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar 
to those found on CDs.
