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.
Bitstream
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g.,
5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
CI (Common Interface)
Common Interface is a defined standard, to enable the
addition of a CAM (Conditional Access Module) in a Digital
TV/Recorder.
CI Plus
CI Plus is a technical specification that adds additional
security and features to the proven DVB Common Interface
Standard that will allow CI Plus compatible consumer
electronics devices, such as Integrated Digital Televisions
and Set Top Boxes, access to a wide range of Pay TV
Services via a Plug-in CI Plus CAM wherever the CI Plus
Technology is supported by the local Pay TV Provider.
CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media)
CPRM is technology used to protect broadcasts that are
allowed to be recorded only once. Such broadcasts can be
recorded only with CPRM compatible recorders and discs.
Deep Colour
This unit incorporates HDMI (V.1.4, Content Type)
technology that can reproduce greater colour gradation
(4096 steps) when connected to a compatible TV.
You can enjoy exceptionally rich, natural-looking colours,
with smooth, detailed gradation and minimal colour banding.
[A lower colour gradation (256 steps), without Deep Colour,
will be reproduced if connected to a TV which does not
support Deep Colour. The unit will automatically set
appropriate output to suit the connected TV.]
DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control)
Digital Satellite Equipment Control is a control system for
selecting several LNBs at one input.
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.
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 theatres. 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.
Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap
between the loudest and softest sounds. This means you
can listen at low volumes but still hear dialogue clearly.
Finalise
A process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW,
DVD-R, etc. possible on equipment that can play such
media. You can finalise DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (DVD-
Video format), +R, +R DL on this unit.
After finalising, the disc becomes play-only and you can no
longer record or edit. However, finalised DVD-RW can be
formatted for recording again.
Formatting
Formatting is the process of making media such as
DVD-RAM recordable on recording equipment.
You can format DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video
format), +RW, SD cards and the HDD or unused +R and
+R DL on this unit.
Formatting permanently deletes all contents.
Frames and fields
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video
you see on your TV. 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)
Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed
digital video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit
supports high-definition video output [720p (750p), 1080i
(1125i), 1080p (1125p)] from HDMI AV OUT terminals. To
enjoy high-definition video a High Definition compatible TV
is required.
