How different kinds of software appear on your television

For your reference

• l/P/B

To efficiently store video on DVD, common elements among frames are used in common, and different elements are recorded with each individual frame. The frame that contains the common elements is called an l-picture, a complete frame in itself. A P-picture is calculated from past I or P-pictures. The frame that fills in the spaces between the l-and P-pictures is called the B-picture. l-pictures have the best picture quality, so they should be used when making picture adjustments.

• Frame

Individual images in a video or on the television are called frames.

• Field

Half of the video information (video signal) in a frame is called a field. With conventional TV systems, a single frame (a single screen) consists of two fields.

• Frame still

The two fields are displayed alternately on the TV screen, so the image may be biurry. However, the image quality is better than field images.

• Field still

Only one field (half of the video information) is displayed on the TV screen, so the apparent resolution is low. However, there is no blurring on the screen.

DVD software is recorded in a variety of picture formats, and how they appear on your TV depends on the software, the kind of TV you have, and the picture mode your TV is set to.

• Letterbox refers to pictures where black bands appear at the top and bottom.

• Pan and scan refers to pictures where part of the picture is cut off so it fills the whole screen.

The names given to the television picture modes depends on the make of your television. There may also be slight differences in how the pictures

appear on the screen. Refer to your television’s operating instructions for details.

For your reference

•Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by Dolby Laboratories. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2channei) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc,

•DTS Digital Surround is a 5.1-channel surround sound system, which is widely used in movie theaters around the world. The separation between channels is good and provides a very real surround effect.

• Linear PCM is an uncompressed digital audio signal. While a CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD is recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit. Therefore, the sound reproduced with these signals is potentially better than that found on CDs. This player reproduces linear PCM in 2-channel.

•Bitstream is a compressed digitai audio signal. This signal can be decoded into different channels to produce, for instance, 5.1channel surround sound.

•The digital audio output terminal (optical) converts electrical signals into optica! signals and transfers them to an amplifier. These optical signals are immune to electrical interference, and they also have minimal effect on other equipment.
