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.

BD-J

Some BD-Video discs contain Java applications, and these applications are called BD-J. You can enjoy various interactive features in addition to playing normal video.

BD-Live

This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM version 2 Profile 2) that supports the new functions such as Internet connection, etc. in addition to the BONUSVIEW function.

Bitstream

This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

BONUSVIEW (Fin al Standard Profile)

This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM version 2 Profile 1 version 1.1) that supports the new functions such as Picture-in-picture, Secondary Audio, and Virtual Package, etc.

Deep Color

Deep Color is a name for device that can reproduce greater color gradation (4096 steps) when connected to a TV that supports the deep color with HDMI cable. You can enjoy exceptionally rich, natural-looking colors, with smooth, detailed gradation and minimal color banding. [A lower color gradation (256 steps), without deep color, will be reproduced if connected to a TV which does not support deep color. The unit will automatically set appropriate output to suit the connected TV.]

DivX [BD55]

DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain highly compressed video with high visual quality that maintains a relatively small file size.

DNS Server

A server which acts like a telephone directory and translates Internet domain names into IP addresses.

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. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.

Dolby TrueHD

Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that reproduces the studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.

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 theaters. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

DTS-HD

DTS-HD is a high-quality, sophisticated audio format used in movie theaters. Previous DTS Digital Surround-compatible equipment can play DTS-HD as DTS Digital Surround audio. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

This is a signal format achieved by improving the previous DTS, DTS-ES and DTS96/24 formats. It is compatible with sampling frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.

DTS-HD Master Audio

This is a lossless audio format and compatible with 96 kHz/7.1ch or less. In addition, faithful reproduction of the master audio is enabled using lossless audio encoding technology. BD-Video supports up to

7.1 channel output.

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 dialog clearly.

Film and video

DVD-Video are recorded using either film or video. This unit can determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable method of progressive output. Film: Recorded at 24 frames per second. (Recorded at 30

Video: Recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Generally

Frames and fields

Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video y ou see on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.

Frame Field Field

≥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.

Gateway

IP address of the electronic device providing Internet access. Usually called a router IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.1)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

Hub

Used for connecting more than one device to the network.

IP address

A set of numbers which distinguish each device on the network when, for example, connected to the Internet. When using a PC in a LAN to access a PC or device that is not included in the LAN, the IP address is called

JPEG (Joint Photogra phic Experts Group)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of compression.

LAN (Local Area Network)

A group of linked devices in a company , school or home. Indicates the boundaries of a particular network.

Local storage

This storage area is used as a destination for sub contents for playing virtual packages on BD-Video.

LPCM (Linear PCM)

P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD)

This is a processor which makes use of an exclusive Panasonic algorithm. Various processing is supported, including a high-level conversion of the TV scanning format from interlace to progressive and a high-level conversion of standard resolution (480i or 576i) video signal to a 1080 High Definition video signal. Consequently, this unit is able to provide video of optimal resolution to the connected TV.

Pan&Scan/Letterbox

In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be viewed on a widescreen television (16:9 aspect ratio), so images often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) televisions. Two styles of picture, “Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem.

Pan&Scan:The sides are cut off so the picture fills

the screen.

Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bottom

of the picture so the picture itself appears in an aspect ratio of 16:9.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

This is one format for converting analog audio into digital audio, enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.

Progressive/Interlace

The video signal standard of NTSC has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas progressive (p) scanning uses twice the number of scan lines, and this is referred to as 480p. Using progressive output, you can enjoy watching high resolution video.

Router

Distinguishes the IP address assigned to each device, such as the PC, and relays the flow of data within the network.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.

Subnet mask

Enables efficient network use. A set of numbers which identify which part of the IP address allocated to every device connected to the router is the network portion.

x.v.Color

x.v.Color is a name for devices that are compatible with the xvYCC format, an international standard for expanded color in motion pictures, and that follow the rules for signal transmission. You can enjoy vivid colors of wider color ranges for a more realistic picture when connected to a TV that supports the x.v.Color with HDMI cable.

1080i (1125i)

In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) alternating scan lines pass to create an interlaced image. Because 1080i (1125i) more than doubles current television broadcasts of 480i, the detail is much clearer and creates a more realistic and rich image.

1080p (1125p)

In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) scan lines pass at the same time to create a progressive image. Since progressiv e video does not alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a minimal amount of screen flicker.

24p

This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per second.

720p (750p)

In one high definition image, 720 (750) scan lines pass at the same time to create a progressive image. Since progressiv e video does not alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a minimal amount of screen flicker.
