manual abstract
There are currently two standard TV aspect ratios, 4:3 and 16:9. Chapter – In DVD-Video, a division of a title. Technically called a part of title (PTT). Component Video – A video signal split into three parts: luminance and two color signals (marked as YPbPr). It provides the highest resolution video, but cannot be processed by all television sets. Composite Video – A single video signal that contains luminance, color, and synchronization information. NTSC and PAL are examples of composite video systems. Dolby Laboratories – Developer of a perceptual coding system for audio. Dolby Digital – a type of multi-channel surround sound format used on discs. – the logo representing Dolby® Digital. DTS – a type of multi-channel surround sound format used on discs. – the logo representing DTS. DVD – An acronym that is most commonly known to mean Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc. The audio/video/data storage system based on 12- and 8-cm optical discs. DVD Video – A standard for storing and reproducing audio and video on DVD-ROM discs, based on MPEG video, Dolby Digital and MPEG audio, and other proprietary data formats. IR – An acronym for infrared. Pertains to the type of remote that sends/receives commands on an infrared light beam. Letterbox – The projected aspect ratio of feature films is often 16:9 rather than the 4:3 aspect ratio of most TVs. Therefore, it is becoming common practice to transfer films to video with black borders at the top and bottom of the picture. The film picture becomes a “letterbox” within the video. MPEG – a type of data compression used for audio or video storage on disc. MP3 – MPEG-1 Layer III audio. This is a compressed audio format that allows you to record many hours of music on a single CD. NTSC – An acronym for National Television System Committee. The organization that developed both the American Black & White and Color television systems. PAL – An acronym for Phase Alternate Line. A television format used extensively in Western Europe. 6 Introduction Introduction PCM – An uncompressed, digitally coded representation of an analog signal. This is the form of the digital audio signal used for both CD and laserdisc. It is a serial data stream that is coded for transmission or recording. PCM is also used for many other types of serial data communications. S-video – A video interface standard that carries separate luminance and chrominance signals, usually on a four-pin mini-DIN connector. Also called Y/C. The quality of S-video is significantly better than composite video since it does not require a comb filter to separate the signals. Most high-end televisions have S-video inputs. Title – numbered elements of the DVD contents, which may include more than the movie alone. Track – Individual selections recorded on an audio tape or disc.
