Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page 86) 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. Deep Color (page 68) These are video signals for which the color depth of signals passing through an HDMI jack have been enhanced. With a Non-Deep Color-compatible player, the number of colors 1 pixel can express is 24 bits (16,777,216 colors). However, with a Deep Color-compatible player, 1 pixel can express more bits, such as 36 bits. With more bits, the gradation of color depth can be expressed more finely, and continuous color changes will be displayed more smoothly. Dolby Digital Plus (page 89) Developed as an extension to Dolby Digital, the audio coding technology supports 7.1 multi-channel surround sound. Dolby TrueHD (page 89) 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. DTS (page 89) Digital audio compression technology that DTS, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to multi-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same discrete channels of high quality digital audio. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and little deterioration occurs because all channel data processing is digital. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio (page 89) 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). 104US DTS-HD Master Audio (page 89) DTS-HD Master Audio has a maximum transmission rate of 24.5 Mbps, and uses lossless compression (Lossless), and DTSHD Master Audio corresponds to a maximum sampling frequency of 192 kHz, and maximum of 7.1ch. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) (page 19) HDMI is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection. The HDMI connection carries standard- to highdefinition video signals and multi-channel audio signals to AV components such as HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without degradation. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a copy protection technology for digital entertainment contents for HDMI. HD Reality Enhancer (page 42, 49) Sony-developed technology provides realtime parsing pixel-by-pixel, performs optimum smoothing, clarifies details, removes noise and achieves smoother gradation in video signals during playback. LPCM (Linear PCM) (page 89) A digital audio format that does not cause deterioration in data compression and expansion. LTH (Low to High) (page 87) LTH is a recording system that supports organic pigment type BD-R. PhotoTV HD (page 50) "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.
