Glossary

Bitstream

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

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio si gnals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital sig nals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channe l) audio, these signals can also be 5.1channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

Dolby Pro Logi c

A surround system where a 4-channel aud io track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters ar ound the world. There is good separation betwee n the cha nne ls, so realis ti c sou nd e ffects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference b etween the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the eq uipment and the high est level of sound before distortion occurs.

RQT6236

Frame still and field still

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

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVDVideo, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

Intra coded picture (I-picture)

This is the stand ard picture and is a complete picture in itself. This means it has the best picture quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture. Predictive coded picture (P-picture)

This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures. Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture (B-picture)

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus (called menu play in these instructions).
