1080i

In a single high-definition image, 1080 (1125) alternating scan lines pass every 1/60th (NTSC)
or 1/50th (PAL) of a second to create an interlace image. And because 1080i (1125i) more than
doubles the current scan lines of 480i (525i) found on television broadcasts, it helps to ensure
that details are much clearer, enabling the creation of more realistic and richer images.

AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition)

AVCHD is an acronym for Advanced Video Codec High Definition, and it is the format for HD
camcorders used to record and playback high-definition video images. AVCHD uses the
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC compression format for video to enable highly efficient encoding, the Dolby
Digital (AC-3) format with LPCM option for audio, and MPEG-2-TS for multiplexing. 

BDAV (Blu-ray Disc Audio/Visual)

BDAV is an application format used for recordable discs including BD-R and BD-RE as the
correlation between DVD-VR in DVD specifications is similar for BDAV in Blu-ray specifications.
Recorded video can be edited (e.g. chapter editing) or added with new footage onto a disc,
making this format highly suitable for recording purposes. It is also ideal for backing up
recordings, although its playback compatibility is limited. High-definition MPEG-2 files can also
be recorded in the MPEG-2 format as is.

BDMV (Blu-ray Disc Movie)

BDMV is an interactive disc authoring mode and application format for BD-ROMs, which is a
part of Blu-ray disc specifications. The correlation between DVD-Video in DVD specifications is
similar for BDMV in Blu-ray specifications and BDMV format discs can be played back on other
BD players. With its menu support, the format is also highly suitable for distribution purposes. 

HDMI (High-definition Multimedia Interface)

Established in Dec. 2002, HDMI is an interface for digital electronic equipment that acts as the
connection standard between PCs and displays. It transmits uncompressed HD digital audio
and video signals on a single cable without distortion. The DVI interface was its predecessor,
and HDMI has been enhanced for AV equipment by adding functions such as audio
transmission capability, copy protection of digital content and other intellectual properties, as
well as the ability to transfer color-variation information.

MPEG-2 (Moving Picture Experts Group 2)

MPEG-2 is a standard for efficient data compression and color video expansion that is widely
used for media such as DVDs and satellite-based digital broadcastings.

MPEG-4 AVC/H.264

MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 is a standard for efficient data compressing and color video expansion,
which is used for recording high-definition video. MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 usage is expected to
increase in the future as the video codec has been approved by Blu-ray disc specifications. 

Progressive/Interlace

As the primary scanning methods for televisions, Interlace is a conventional image signal that
displays the image in two phases by splitting the display into odd and even scan lines.
Progressive will display the whole image in a single scan and when compared to Interlace, it
helps to ensure high-definition image reproduction without flickering.

Seamless conversion

In order to enable the smooth transition of edited images while playing back or dubbing onto an optical
disc, equipment offering seamless conversion is able to correct the unnecessary freezing and jerkiness
found in content or video streams having deleted sections or repeatedly recorded DV or HDV content.
