converter cord. The HDMI specification

supports HDCP (high-bandwidth digital

contents protection), a copy protection

technology that incorporates coding technology

for digital video signals.

Interlace format

(Interlaced scanning)

The Interlace format is the NTSC standard

method for displaying TV images at 30 frames

per second. Each frame is scanned twice -

alternately between the even numbered scanning

lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at

60 times per second.

Multi-angle function

Various angles of a scene, or viewpoints of the

video camera are recorded on some DVDs.

Multilingual function

Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a

picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Parental Control

A function of the DVD to limit playback of the

disc by the age of the users according to the

limitation level in each country. The limitation

varies from disc to disc; when it is activated,

playback is completely prohibited, violent

scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes

and so on.

Playback Control (PBC)

Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0)

to control playback.

By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO

CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing

simple interactive programs, programs with

search functions, and so on.

Progressive format

(sequential scanning)

In contrast to the Interlace format, the

progressive format can reproduce 50 - 60 frames

per second by reproducing all scanning lines

(525 lines for the NTSC system). The overall

picture quality increases and still images, text

and horizontal lines appear sharper. This format

is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive

format.

Region Code

This system is used to protect copyrights. A

region number is allocated on each DVD system

or DVD disc according to the sales region. Each

region code is shown on the system as well as on

the disc packaging. The system can play discs

that match its region code. The system can also

play discs with the “

” mark. Even when the

region code is not shown on the DVD, the region

limit may still apply.

Scene

On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control)

functions, the menu screens, moving pictures

and still pictures are divided into sections called

“scenes.”

Super Audio CD

Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio

disc standard where music is recorded in the

DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format

(conventional CDs are recorded in the PCM

format). The DSD format, using a sampling

frequency 64 times higher than that of a

conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization,

achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide

dynamic range across the audible frequency

range, and so provides music reproduction

extremely faithful to the original sound.
