TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

AC-3 (Active Coding-3) - An audio encod­ing technology developed by Dolby Laboratories.
AC-3 provides six channels of audio (known as

5.1) for front left, front right, front center, rear
left, rear right, and subwoofer. AC-3 technology
is used in Dolby Digital surround sound.

Aspect Ratio - The ratio of screen width to
height. The aspect ratio of the standard TV
screen is 4:3. The high-definition TV (HDTV)
format is 16:9. When a widescreen movie is
shown on a 4:3 TV there are two ways to dis­play the image:

• 4:3 Letter Box - The entire original
screen frame is displayed on the TV. However,
this results in extra space (black bars) above
and below the frame.

• 4:3 Pan & Scan: The image fills the
entire TV screen, but in order to do so, the
original frame must be truncated at the sides,

so the viewer does not see the entire original
screen image. When something important
needs to be shown but it is located out of
frame, the view pans over to reveal the hidden
portion of the original image.

Bit Depth - The number of data bits used to
encode a sample analog signal when it is con­verted into digital data. Higher bit depth means
higher resolution and therefore higher fidelity.

CD (Compact Disc) - A digital audio disc
that contains up to 74 minutes of hi-fi stereo
sound. The most common platter size is
120mm (4.75") in diameter, recorded on one
side, with individual selections playable in any
sequence. Other forms of CDs, such as Video
CD, stem from the original Compact Disc­Digital Audio (CD-DA) format.

GLOSSARY OF TECHNICAL TERMSPART NAMES & THEIR FUNCTIONS

Composite Video (CVBS) - The recording
and transmission of video which mixes the color
information and synchronization signals togeth­er. NTSC, PAL and SECAM are the primary
composite video color TV standards used
worldwide.

DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) – A
device that converts digital pulses into analog
signals. For example, a DVD player will have a
video DAC and an audio DAC that converts the
digital video and audio data stored on a DVD
into analog video and audio signals that can be
seen and heard via the screen and speakers
respectively.

Dolby Digital - See AC-3.

Dolby Pro Logic - A surround system where

a 4-channel audio is recorded as 2 channel and
is then restored to 4 channels for playback.

DSP (Digital Signal Processor) - A
special-purpose processor used for process­ing digital signals for various applications.

DTS- (Digital Theatre Sound) - A digital
audio encoding technology developed by Lucas
Labs for movie theaters, and subsequently for
home theater. Like AC-3, DTS provides 5.1
channel audio, but uses less compression.

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) - A type of
optical disc that uses very similar technology as
CDs but has a much greater capacity due to
higher recording density. Whereas CDs

are recorded on only one side, DVDs
can be recorded on both sides and can
contain two recording layers per side for

even greater storage capacity.

DVD-Audio - With the highest possible
sound quality currently available for digital
recordings and the ability to store video and
still images as well as music, DVD-Audio is
touted by some as the next generation in
music discs. Compared to CDs that provide

44.1 KHz/16-bit resolution, DVD-Audio pro­vides up to 192 KHz/24-bit resolution for
higher fidelity sound. Also, where CDs offer
two-channel audio (stereo), DVD-Audio offers

56 9

multi-channel (surround sound) audio.

DVD-R (DVD Recordable) - A DVD for­mat that allows a one-time recording of data.

DVD-Video - The type of pre-recorded DVD
format used for movies.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts
Group) - Pronounced "jay-peg", it is an

ISO/ITU standard for compressing still digital
images. JPEG uses a lossy compression
scheme, meaning data (image detail) is per­manently discarded during the compression
process. Higher compression means more
data is discarded but file size is smaller. With
different levels of compression available, the
loss of image detail and quality can range
from imperceptible to very noticeable.

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) - An ener­gy efficient, flat-panel display made up of a
liquid crystal that is sandwiched between lay­ers of glass or plastic and becomes opaque
when electric current passes through it. The

contrast between the opaque and transparent
areas forms the image.

Lithium Ion - A rechargeable battery tech­nology that provides about a 10-15%
improvement in charge per pound over nickel
metal hydride.

MP3 - A popular format used for music files
that can be downloaded from the Internet.
MP3 employs a lossy compression scheme
referred to as “perceptual audio coding” to
compress CD-quality sound by a factor of 12.
A CD that would normally hold a dozen or so
uncompressed songs can easily hold 100
MP3s.

MPEG (Motion Pictures Experts
Group) - Pronounced "em-peg", it is an

ISO/ITU standard for compressing video.
MPEG is a lossy compression method, which
means data (image detail) is permanently dis­carded during the compression process.
MPEG uses the same intraframe coding
method as JPEG for individual frames, but it

also uses an interframe coding technique,
which further compresses the video data by
encoding only the differences in the images
between key frames.

PCM - (Pulse Code Modulation) A technique
for converting analog signals into digital form.

Sampling Rate - In Pulse Code Modulation,
the rate or frequency at which samples are
taken when analog signals are converted into
digital code. For example, audio that is encoded
for music CDs is sampled at a frequency of

44.1 KHz (KiloHertz), which means 44,056
samples are taken per second. Each sample
taken is “quantized” or converted into a 16-bit
binary number. The sampling rate, in conjunc­tion with bit depth, gives the resolution.
Therefore the resolution of CD audio is

44.1KHz/16-bit. The higher the resolution,
the higher the fidelity will be to the original.
See “Bit Depth”.

Speech Enhancer - Audio technology that
enhances certain frequencies, to increase
clarity of dialogue, especially when the volume
is low.

TFT LCD (Thin Film Transistor LCD) ­Known as "active matrix", TFT LCDs have
transistors built into each pixel within the
screen. For example, a 480 x 234 color
screen requires 336,960 transistors; one for
each red, green and blue dot. TFT LCDs pro­vide a sharp, clear image with excellent con­trast.

Video CD - A CD format used to hold full­motion video, developed by Matsushita, Philips,
Sony and JVC. A VCD holds 74 minutes of
VHS-quality video and CD-quality sound using
MPEG-1 compression.

Track - The storage channel on a disk. Tracks
are concentric circles. CD and DVD tracks have
one continuous, spiral-shaped channel starting
near the center and moving outward.

58 7

Virtual Surround Sound - VSS technol­ogy employs advanced algorithms to
simulate surround sound from stereo
speakers in one of two ways. For
discs with multi-channel audio (such
as Dolby Digital AC-3), the audio sig­nal is converted into a two-channel
signal in such a way as to retain a
surround sound effect. For discs with
stereo sound, the audio is enhanced
to simulate surround sound. The
result is a highly realistic, more true­to-life, and involving entertainment
experience for movies and music.

WMA (Windows Media Audio) ­Microsoft's proprietary audio codec designed to
compete with MP3. Claims competitive sound
quality at lower bit rates.
