The S-video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO
OljJT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y)
nals. (Actual results depend on the television.)
Television
For Australia and N.Z.
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal
Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals
(Pb/Pr) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high
fidelity in reproducing colors.
•The description of the component video input terminals depends
on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/Pb/Pr, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/Cb/Cr).

Bitstream
This is the digital form of multiple channel audio data (e.i

Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is
called decoding.
Dolby Digital i
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories.
Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be 5.|(-channel
audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded or]ione disc
using this method.
Dolby Pro Logic
A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2
channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surroun:|l channel
is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world.
There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects
are possible, ii
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of soun

Frarr e still and field still
Framus are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture.
There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One f ame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields
one a ter the other to create frames,
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up
of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall
quaiitji is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information
of a frame still so picture quality is lower.
