Definition of terms
Specifications
Angle
Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which
have
been simultaneously shot from a number of different
angles (the same scene is shot from the front, from the
left side, from the right side, etc.). With such discs,
theANGLE button can be used to view the scene from
different angles.
Chapter number
These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title is
subdivided into many sections, each of which is
numbered, and specific parts of video presentations
can be searched quickly using these numbers.
DVD
This refers to a high-density optical disc on which
highquality pictures and sound have been obtained by
means of digital signals. Incorporation a new video
compression technology (MPEG II) and high-density
recording technology, DVD enables esthetically
pleasing full-motion video to be rercorded over long
periods of time (for instance,a whole movie can be
recorded). DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6
mm thin discs which are adhered to each other. Since
the thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the
information can be recorded, a DVD disc has a greater
capacity than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. Since the two
thin discs are adhered to each other, there is the
potential to achieve double-sided play sometime in the
future for even longer duration play.
Playback control (PBC)
This is recorded on a Video CD (version 2.0). The
scenesor information to be viewed (or listened to) can
be selected interactively with the TV monitor by looking
at the menu shown on theTV monitor.
Subtitles
This is the appearance of the dialogue at the bottom of
the screen which are prerecorded on someDVDdiscs.
Time number
This indicates the play time which has elapsed from the
start of a disc or a title. It can be used to find a specific
scene quickly. (It may not work with some discs.)
Time number
These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. When a
disc contains two or more movies, these movies are
numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.
Title number
These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are
recorded on Video CDs and CDs. They enable specific
tracks to be located quickly.
VideoCD
This contains recordings of pictures and sound whose
quality is on a par with that of videotape. This player
also supports Video CDs with playback control (version
2.0).
