Glossary AVCHD The AVCHD format is a high-definition digital video camera format used to record SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition) signals of either the 1080i specification* or the 720p specification** on DVDs, using efficient data compression coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM system is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher efficiency than that of the conventional image compression format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format enables a high definition (HD) video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be recorded on DVD discs in the same way as it would be for a standard definition (SD) television signal. * A high definition specification that utilizes 1080 effective scanning lines and the interlace format. ** A high definition specification that utilizes 720 effective scanning lines and the progressive format. BD-J application The BD-ROM format supports Java for interactive functions. “BD-J” offers content providers almost unlimited functionality when creating interactive BD-ROM titles. BD-R BD-R (Blu-ray Disc Recordable) is a recordable, write-once Blu-ray Disc, available in the same capacities as the BD below. Since contents can be recorded and cannot be overwritten, a BD-R can be used to archive valuable data or storing and distributing video material. BD-RE BD-RE (Blu-ray Disc Rewritable) is a recordable and rewritable Blu-ray Disc, available in the same capacities as the BD below. The re-recordable feature makes extensive editing and time-shifting applications possible. 108GB BD-ROM BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Memory) are commercially produced discs and are available in the same capacities as the BD below. Other than conventional movie and video contents, these discs have enhanced features such as interactive content, menu operations using pop-up menus, selection of subtitle display, and slideshow. Although a BD-ROM may contain any form of data, most BD-ROM discs will contain movies in High Definition format, for playback on Blu-ray Disc/DVD players. Blu-ray Disc (BD) since all the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradation occurs. Dolby Digital Plus Developed as an extension to Dolby Digital, the audio coding technology supports 7.1 multichannel surround sound. Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from 2 channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations. A disc format developed for recording/playing high-definition (HD) video (for HDTV, etc.), and for storing large amounts of data. A single layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to 25 GB, and a dual-layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to 50 GB of data. x Movie mode DCS (Digital Cinema Sound) x Music mode In collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony measured the sound environment of their studios and integrated the data of the measurement with Sony DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology to develop “Digital Cinema Sound.” “Digital Cinema Sound” simulates in a home theater an ideal movie theater sound environment based on the preference of the movie director. The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space. The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced sound field directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound. Digital Cinema Auto Calibration was developed by Sony to automatically measure and adjusts the speaker settings to your listening environment in a short period of time. As one method of decoding Dolby Surround, Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces four channels from 2 channel sound. Compared with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of surround speakers and a center speaker. The surround speakers output monaural sound. Dolby Digital Dolby TrueHD This movie theater sound format is more advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In this format, the surround speakers output stereo sound with an expanded frequency range, and a subwoofer channel for deep bass is independently provided. This format is also called “5.1” with the subwoofer channel designed as the 0.1 channel (since it functions only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six channels in this format are recorded separately for superior channel separation. Furthermore, Dolby TrueHD is a lossless coding technology that supports up to 8 channels of multi-channel surround sound for the next generation optical discs. The reproduced sound is true to the original source bit-for-bit. Digital Cinema Auto Calibration Additional Information Dolby Surround Pro Logic 109GB DTS Parental Control Digital audio compression technology developed by DTS, Inc. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format comprises of stereo rear channel and there is discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio. The good channel separation is realized due to the all channel data being recorded discretely and processed in digitally. A function of the BD/DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio Developed as an extension to DTS Digital Surround format. It supports a maximum sampling frequency of 96 kHz, and 7.1 multichannel surround. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio has a maximum transmission rate of 6 Mbps, with lossy compression (Lossy). DTS-HD Master Audio DTS-HD Master Audio has a maximum transmission rate of 24.5 Mbps, and uses lossless compression (Lossless), and DTS-HD Master Audio corresponds to a maximum sampling frequency of 192 kHz, and maximum of 7.1ch. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) HDMI is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection, allowing you to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals. Interlace format (Interlaced scanning) The Interlace format is the NTSC standard method for displaying TV images at 30 frames per second. Each frame is scanned twice alternately between the even numbered scanning lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at 60 times per second. LTH (Low to High) LTH is a recording system that supports organic pigment type BD-R. 110GB PhotoTV HD “PhotoTV HD” allows for a highly-detailed pictures, and photo-like expression of subtle textures and colors. By connecting Sony “PhotoTV HD” compatible devices using an HDMI cable, whole new world of photos can be enjoyed in breathtaking Full HD quality. For instance, the delicate texture of the human skin, flowers, sand and waves can now be displayed on a large screen in beautiful photo-like quality. Pop-up menu An enhanced menu operation available on BDROMs. The pop-up menu appears when POP UP/MENU is pressed during playback, and can be operated while playback is in progress. Progressive format (sequential scanning) In contrast to the Interlace format, the progressive format can reproduce 50 - 60 frames per second by reproducing all scanning lines (525 lines for the NTSC system). The overall picture quality increases and still images, text and horizontal lines appear sharper. This format is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive format. S-AIR (Sony Audio Interactive Radio frequency) Recent times have seen the rapid spread of BD/ DVD media, Digital Broadcasting, and other high-quality media. To ensure that the subtle nuances of these highquality media are transmitted with no deterioration, Sony has developed a technology called “S-AIR” for the radio transmission of digital audio signals with no compression, and has incorporated this technology into the EZWRT10/EZW-RT10A/EZW-T100. This technology transfers digital audio signals with no compression using the 2.4 GHz band range of ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical band), such as wireless LANs and Bluetooth applications. x.v.Colour x.v.Colour is a familiar term for the xvYCC standard proposed by Sony. xvYCC is an international standard for color space in video. This standard can express a wider color range than the currently used broadcast standard. 24p True Cinema Additional Information Movies shot with a film camera consist of 24 frames per second. Since conventional televisions (both CRT and flat panels) display frames either at 1/60 or 1/50 second intervals, the 24 frames do not appear at an even pace. When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities, the player displays each frame at 1/24 second intervals — the same interval originally shot with the film camera, thus faithfully reproducing the original cinema image. 111GB Index Numerics 24p True Cinema 111 A A/V SYNC 45 Angle 40 Attenuate - AUDIO 82 Attenuate - TV 81 Audio 83 Audio DRC 81 Audio Settings 81 Auto Calibration 69, 82 Auto Display 86 AVCHD 99, 108 B BD Audio Setting 81 BD Data 46 BD Internet Connection 84 BD Parental Control 83 BD/DVD Menu 83 BD/DVD Viewing Settings 83 BDAV 99 BD-Live 45 BDMV 99 BD-R 108 BD-RE 108 Blu-ray Disc 109 E Easy Setup 31, 88 F FM MODE 54 Front panel 12 Front panel display 13 H HDMI YCbCr/RGB (HDMI) 81 HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) 110 HDMI Settings 85 Hybrid Disc Playback Layer 84 I Instant Advance 39 Instant Replay 39 Interlace format 110 Internet Settings 87 L Language Code List 105 LTH 110 C M CD 46, 99 Child Lock 75 Cinema Conversion Mode 80 Control for HDMI 40, 66, 85 Multiplex broadcast sound 52 D D.
