BD-ROM Glossary AVCHD The AVCHD format is a high-definition digital video camera format used to record SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition) signals of either the 1080i specification* or the 720p specification** on DVDs, using efficient data compression coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM system is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.
since all the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradation occurs. Dolby Digital Plus Developed as an extension to Dolby Digital, the audio coding technology supports 7.1 multichannel surround sound. Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from 2 channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
Parental Control A function of the BD/DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on. PhotoTV HD “PhotoTV HD” allows for a highly-detailed pictures, and photo-like expression of subtle textures and colors.
