24p motion picture display:

Movies released on Blu-ray Disc sup-

port the 24p motion picture display. The Blu-ray player transfers the
original film format to the television with 24 frames per second. The
DMM (DigitalMovieMode) set in the factory calculates and inserts
additional intermediate pictures, which suppress film jerking typical
for the cinema, thereby providing for a smooth motion sequence.

Accurate Recording:

See

Automatic time control

Administrator:

Person who administers the network, i.e. takes care of

setting up and maintaining all components belonging to the network.

Active antenna:

An antenna with its own power supply or amplification

which can improve the reception in areas with a poor coverage.

ARC:

Abbreviation for

Audio Return Channel

Audio Return Channel:

The audio return channel which was introduced

with the

HDMI

Standard 1.4 is used when an audio system with audio

(pre) amplifier, e.g. Loewe MediaVision 3D, is connected to a TV set via
HDMI. The digital audio signal of the TV set (e.g. the sound of the cur-
rent TV program) can be transferred to the audio amplifier via the audio
return channel of the HDMI cable. Thus the same cable which is normally
responsible for transferring image data from a connected media player to
the TV set transfers the audio data in the opposite direction. In this way, the
audio return channel makes the cinch cable, which has previously been
required in addition to the HDMI cable, redundant.

Automatic time control:

Also called

Accurate Recording

. Similar to

VPS

for analogue stations the automatic time control monitors the start

and end times of programmes from DVB stations. If these times deviate
from the data programmed in the timer data, the running time of the
recording is adapted automatically. The automatic time control is not
supported by all DVB stations.

AV socket:

Socket for audio and video signals.

AV sources:

Audio/Video source.

AVI:

Abbreviation for Audio Video Interleave, a video container file for-

mat developed by Microsoft. A single AVI video file can contain several
audio, video and text data streams (thus the name container format).

Band:

Name for a transmission range.

Blu-ray Disc:

The follow-up format of

DVD

. The contents of about

five DVDs fit onto one Blu-ray Disc (abbreviated BD). Therefore, the
Blu-ray disc provides enough space for high-resolution images and
multi-channel sound formats.

BMP:

Abbreviation for Bitmap, a grid graphics format designed for

Microsoft Windows and OS/2 that is wide spread and therefore sup-
ported by almost every popular graphics software package without
any problems.

CA Module:

The

Conditional Access module

contains the cod-

ing system and compares the transmitted code with the one on the

Smart Card.

If they match, the appropriate stations or programmes

are decoded.

CEC:

Abbreviation for Consumer Electronics Control. CEC provides uni-

versal component control functions for entertainment electronics devices
(e.g. System standby, One Touch Play). CEC is referred to by Loewe as

Digital Link HD

Channel (WLAN):

Devices that want to communicate with each other

have to use the same WiFi channel. In Europe the WiFi frequency band
is currently divided into 13 channels.

Cinch cable:

Cable for transmitting sound or pictures.

CI slot:

See

Common Interface

Client:

Also called network client, describes an end device such as

your TV set that is connected to the network and gets data from a
(media) server to make it accessible to the user.

Common Interface:

The Common Interface (CI slot) is a standard-

ised interface. By inserting suitable decoding modules (

CA modules

)

and a

Smart Card

coded digital programmes can be used.

Common Interface Plus:

CI Plus is an advancement of the

Common

Interface

standard. CI Plus slots are in principle downward compatible

to the previous CI standard, i.e. CA modules and Smart Cards accord-
ing to the past CI standard can continue to be used in CI Plus slots,
as far as the programme provider permits this. Additionally, extended
regulations apply however to CI Plus.

Component:

See

Component connection

Component connection:

Also referred to as

Component.

Connec-

tion where the video signal is transferred via three separate (Cinch)
connections. It comprises the brightness signal

as well as the colour

difference signals

(blue component) and

(red component).

Conditional Access module:

See

CA module

DAL:

Abbreviation for Digital Audio Link Integrated, digital 5.1 audio

decoder for the direct connection of Loewe klang products to the
extension to the home entertainment system.

DHCP:

Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP

allows automatic assignment of IP addresses with the aid of a DHCP
server.

DHCP server:

Network service which takes care of automatic assign-

ment of

IP addresses

to clients.

Digital Link HD:

System for controlling units via the HDMI connection

of the Loewe TV set when they have been set up in a covered position.

DMM:

Abbreviation for Digital Movie Mode. Whether a studio record-

ing, live broadcast, or feature film – the broadcast images are always
displayed optimally. Still images are reproduced in all their sharpness
and tranquillity. By creating intermediate images, DMM enables perfect
studio quality, even with quick movements.

DNC:

Abbreviation for “Digital Noise Control”. Weak TV signals (ana-

logue) can generate disruptive picture noise. DNC adjusts the effect
of digital noise reduction to the picture contents.

DNS:

Abbreviation for Domain Name System. Readable names (e.g.

www.loewe-int.de) are assigned to numerical

IP addresses

. DNS

servers are responsible for the resolution of readable addresses into
the corresponding IP addresses.

Dolby Digital:

Digital multi-channel sound. The digital standard for

high quality home movie systems. The individual channels are broad-
cast separately in this standard. The three front channels right, left
and centre, the two surround channels right and left and the external
subwoofer channels are called a 5.1 signal.

Dolby Pro Logic:

Analogue multi-channel sound. Converts a Dolby-

coded stereo signal into a surround sound. This usually contains four
channels (front left, centre, front right, surround channel). A special
subwoofer channel is not generated in this method.

Dolby Pro Logic II:

Analogue multi-channel sound. Dolby Pro Logic II

is a further development of

Dolby Pro Logic

. This method generates

a 6-channel spatial sound from a stereo or Pro-Logic signal (front left,
centre, front right, surround left, surround right, subwoofer).

Dolby Surround:

An analogue surround sound system which uses a

matrix coding to fit four sound channels into two sound tracks.

Dolby Virtual Speaker:

The Dolby Virtual Speaker technology

simulates the surround playback of a real 5.1 channel playback with
only two speakers.
