Component video output
This video output terminal provides clearer pictures when
connected to a TV equipped with component inputs. Component
video signals consist of three signals, Y, P
B
and P
R
.
Composite video output
Signals mixing the luminance signal (Y) and the color signal (C) so
they can be transferred on a single cord are output from this
terminal.
Deep Color
This is one of the capabilities of HDMI™. The players supporting
Deep Color can transmit a video signal with a color bit depth of
greater than 8 bits per color component. Subtle color gradations
can be reproduced when connected to a TV that supports Deep
Color.
Default Gateway
A default gateway is a communication device such as a router
which passes data between networks. It is used to direct data to
networks on which the destination gateway is not explicitly
specified.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol)
This protocol provides configuration parameters (IP address, etc.)
for computers and other devices connected to the network.
DivX
DivX is a media technology developed by DivX Inc. DivX media files
include moving picture data.
DNS (Domain Name System)
This is a system for associating Internet host names with IP
addresses.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is an audio format to record the sound in up to 5.1
channels with a fraction of the amount of data as compared to linear
PCM audio signals.
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus is an audio format for high-definition media. Built
on Dolby Digital, it combines the efficiency and flexibility to provide
high quality multi-channel audio. With BD-ROMs, up to 7.1
channels of digital sound can be recorded.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is an audio format using lossless coding. With BD-
ROMs, up to 8 channels can be recorded at 96 kHz/24 bits, or up to
6 channels at 192 kHz/24 bits.
DRM
A technology for protecting copyrighted digital data. Digitized
videos, images and audio retain the same quality even when they
are copied or transferred repeatedly. DRM is a technology for
restricting the distribution or playback of such digital data without
the authorization of the copyright holder.
DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround is an audio format to record 48 kHz/24 bits
audio signals in 5.1 channels.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is an audio format using lossy
coding. It can record 7.1 channels at 96 kHz/24 bits.
DTS-HD Master Audio
DTS-HD Master Audio is an audio format using lossless coding.
With BD-ROMs, 7.1 channels can be recorded at 96 kHz/24 bits, or
5.1 channels at 192 kHz/24 bits.
Dynamic range
This refers to the difference between the maximum and minimum
level of the sound. The dynamic range is measured in units of
decibels (dB).
When the dynamic range is compressed (Audio DRC), the minimum
signal level is increased and the maximum signal level decreased.
This way, the volume of loud sounds such as explosions is reduced,
while the sounds with a low level, such as human voices, are easier
to listen to.
Ethernet
A standard for local area networks (LANs) used to connect multiple
computers, etc. in the same location. This player supports
100BASE-TX.
Frames and fields
A frame is the unit for one of the still pictures which compose
motion pictures. One frame consists of a picture of odd lines and a
picture of even lines called fields in video signal with interlaced scan
method (576i, 1080i, etc.).
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection)
HDCP is a specification to protect audiovisual content across the
DVI/HDMI interface.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface)
A digital interface standard for next-generation TVs expanding the
DVI (Digital Video Interface) terminal used for example for computer
displays. It allows transfer of non-compressed digital video and
audio signals (Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, DTS-
HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS Digital
Surround, MPEG-2 AAC, linear PCM, etc.) with a single connector.
Interactive audio
The audio signals recorded in the titles of BD-ROMs. They include
for example the clicking sound made when the menu screen is
operated.
Interlaced scan
With this method, one picture is displayed by scanning it twice. The
odd lines are displayed in the first pass, the even lines are displayed
in the second, to form a single picture (frame). Interlaced scan is
indicated in this player and operating instructions by an “i” after the
resolution value (for example, 576i).
IP address
An address that identifies a computer or other device connected to
the Internet or local area network. It is represented a number in four
sections.
