Panasonic DMREH75VS Dvd Recorder - English/ Spanish - Page 93

Glossary Bitstream This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels. CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media) A copy protection system used for DVD-Audio files. This unit supports CPPM. CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media) CPRM is technology used to protect broadcasts that are allowed to be recorded only once. Such broadcasts can be recorded only with CPRM compatible recorders and discs. Decoder A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding. DivX DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain highly compressed video with high visual quality that maintains a relatively small file size. Dolby Digital This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method. When recording on this unit Dolby Digital (2 channel) is the default audio. Down-mixing This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on some discs into two channels. It is useful when you want to listen to the 5.1-channel audio recorded on DVDs through your television's speakers. Some discs prohibit down-mixing and this unit can then only output the front two channels. [DVD-A] Tracks that do not allow down-mixing will not play correctly on this unit except when connecting with an HDMI cable to an amplifier that meets HDMI Ver. 1.1 standards and is CPPM compatible. DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) DPOF is the standard printing format for still picture data taken by a digital camera, etc. It is used for automatic printing at a photo developing store or on your home printer. Drive In the instance of this unit, this refers to the hard disk (HDD), disc (DVD), SD card (SD) and video cassette (VHS). These perform the reading and writing of data. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible. Dynamic range Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs. Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between the loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at low volumes but still hear dialog clearly. EPG (Electronic Program Guide) This is a system used to display the program listings on televisions, computers and cellular phones. Data is transmitted using the internet or television waves. This unit is compatible with the method using television waves. You can use the program listings for functions such as scheduled recording. Film and video DVD-Video are recorded using either film or video. This unit can determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable method of progressive output. Film: Recorded at 24 frames per second. (Recorded at 30 frames per second as well). Generally appropriate for motion picture films. Video: Recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Generally appropriate for TV drama programs or animation. Finalize A process that makes play of a recorded CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, etc. possible on equipment that can play such media. You can finalize DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (DVD-Video format), +R and +R DL on this unit. After finalizing, the disc becomes play-only and you can no longer record or edit. However, finalized DVD-RW can be formatted to become recordable. Folder This is a place on the hard disk or memory card where groups of data are stored together. In the case of this unit, it refers to the place where still pictures (JPEG, TIFF) and MPEG2 are stored. Structure of folders displayed by this unit The following can be displayed on this unit. ¢¢¢: Numbers XXX: Letters DVD-RAM Card JPEG DCIM (Higher folder) DCIM¢¢¢ (Higher folder) ¢¢¢XXXXX (Picture folder) XXXX¢¢¢¢.JPG XXXX¢¢¢¢.TIF ¢¢¢XXXXX (Picture folder) XXXX¢¢¢¢.JPG XXXX¢¢¢¢.TIF IM¢¢CDPF or IMEXPORT DCIM ¢¢¢XXXXX XXXX¢¢¢¢.JPG XXXX¢¢¢¢.TIF XXXX¢¢¢¢.JPG XXXX¢¢¢¢.TIF SD_VIDEO PRG¢¢¢(MPEG2 folder) MOV¢¢¢MOD MOV¢¢¢MOI PRG¢¢¢PGI MGR_INFO (MPEG2 information folder) ¢ Folders can be created on other equipment. However, these folders cannot be selected as a copying destination. ≥The folder cannot be displayed if the numbers are all "0" (e.g., DCIM000 etc.). ≥If a folder name or file name has been input using other equipment, the name may not be displayed properly or you may not be able to play or edit the data. Formatting Formatting is the process of making media such as DVD-RAM recordable on recording equipment. You can format DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (only as DVD-Video format), +RW, SD memory card and the HDD or unused +R and +R DL on this unit. Formatting irrevocably deletes all contents. Frames and fields Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see on your television. Each frame consists of two fields. u r Frame Field Field ≥A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but picture quality is generally better. ≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but there is no blurring. HDD (Hard disk drive) This is a mass data storage device used in computers, etc. A disk with a surface that has been treated with magnetic fluid is spun and a magnetic head is brought in close proximity to facilitate the reading and writing of large amounts of data at high speed. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic products. Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports high-definition video output (720p, 1080i) from HDMI AV OUT terminals. To enjoy high-definition video a high definition compatible television is required. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the data will be compressed to 1/10 to 1/100 of its original size. The benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of compression. LPCM (Linear PCM) These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs. LPCM sound is available when recording in XP mode. 93 RQT8346 Specifications/Glossary
