17. Glossary / Key Word Index

What are DVDs, VCDs and S-VCDs?

DVDs

DVD is the short form for "Digital Versatile Disc". DVDs are a storage medium for audio and video data; they are available in 8 cm and 12 cm (Diameter) formats. Because of the much higher storage capacity as compared to CD-Rs/ CD-RWs DVDs can provide a playback duration of up to eight hours for the audio and video data stored on them.

VCDs/S-VCDs

"Video CD" (VCD) and "Super Video CD" (S-VCD) are designations for two processes of compressed storage, thus space saving, of films on CDs. VCDs and S-VCDs are available in 8 cm and 12 cm (Diameter) formats. Their storage capacity is a great deal lower than that of DVDs. For this reason they only offer a playback duration, for the saved audio and video data on them, of 20 minutes (8 cm format) and/or 74 minutes (12 cm format).

VCDs are available in two versions:

• Only audio and video data can be played back on version 1.1 VCDs/S-VCDs.
• PBC (Playback control) functions are available on version 2.0 VCDs/ S-VCDs. In addition still images can be played back in a higher resolution.

Playback Control (PBC)

Version 2.0 VCDs/S-VCDs have Playback Control (in short "PBC") at their disposal. Then on the VCD/S-VCD a main menu is available, by which various functions of the VCD/S-VCD are allowed to be operated.

What are Title and Chapter?

Title is the name given to the largest units of image and sound units on DVDs; on many DVDs the (Main) film has the title number 01. For bonus material (i.e. Film trailer, background information etc.), that is available on many DVDs, other possible title numbers can be used.

Chapter is the name given to the next smaller image and sound units beneath title. If the title or titles on a DVD/VCD/S-VCD are subdivided into chapters, they are assigned numbers that can be entered to select the chapters directly.

Bear in mind that not on all DVDs ...

are the DVD or the title divided into (numbered) chapters
- Chapters are also designated as "Scenes" (i.e. in the main menu of DVDs)

What are SCart, S-Video, Composite video Progressive scan and YUV?

Scart

Scart denotes a 21 pole standardized plug connection, via which the RGB signal, video signal and S-Video signal as well as a number of control and auxiliary signals are transmitted.

S-video

When the DVD player is connected to a television via S-Video the brightness and colour signals are transmitted separately; in this way a greater image sharpness and a reduced so called "Colour noise" is achieved.

Colour noise refers to the overlaying of the colours, mostly heavily saturated parts of a video image, through an irregular, restive breakdown structure.

Composite video

Video signal or FBAS signal; thereby it involves an image signal, in which colour and brightness information are included at the same time.

Progressive scan

In the normal way TV devices and Video projectors are controlled with so called "Half images". Thereby clearly visible line structures develop. Contrary to this, Progressive Scan denotes the output of full images (with this DVD player, at the output YPbPr) Progressive Scan signals can only be processed by playback devices equipped for this purpose (in particular large screen televisions and projectors). The image quality as opposed to traditional image signals is considerably higher.

YUV (component video out)

YUV indicates the component signal, which with this device is available at the output YPbPr in the form of so called "Half images"; as a rule this is the best signal for the control of large screen televisions and projectors, which can not process Progressive Scan signals. As with the RGB image transmission, YUV is comprised of three separated image signals:

the brightness signal "Y" and
the two colour difference signals "Pb/Cb" and "Pr/Cr"

Half images (Interlace)/Full images (Progressive Scan)

A standard television image is comprised of 576 visible lines; at first all odd and then all even image lines are displayed alternatively, thus each displays a half image. Thereby only 25 full images (50 Half images) can be displayed per second. This technique is designated as "Interlace" format.

Contrary to this with the so called progressive or "Progressive Scan" format all image lines are displayed every time, that is to say 60 full images per second are displayed. Thereby increasing the total quality of the images, still images and text for example appear sharper.

Decoder

The sound on DVDs with home theatre sound is saved on the DVD in encrypted (encrypted) form. Different encryption formats exist for several purposes, for example AC-3 for the playback of Dolby Digital Surround Sound.

In order to playback encrypted sound, the playback device (i.e. the DVD player) and/or the audio component connected to it (for example Surround system) must be equipped with a so called decoder, which converts the encrypted signal back into music and/or sound.

The Silvercrest KH 6779 DVD-Player is equipped with an AC-3 Decoder (for Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound signal).

Dolby Surround

Dolby Surround is an analogue sound format, by which the two channels of a stereo sound signal are used in order to accommodate room sound information for further channels. Dolby Surround decoders convert the signals back into sound or music and send the audio to two additional speakers that are situated behind the listener.

Dolby Prologic

In comparison to Dolby Surround sound format, with Dolby Prologic an additional channel in the stereo signal is used; this is the so called "Centre" channel. The corresponding centre loudspeaker is to be situated in the middle between the stereo loudspeakers. The deepest sounds are fed to a bass loudspeaker, the so called "Subwoofer". The subwoofer can be placed in any desired location in the room; the logic for this is that the bass sounds that the subwoofer puts out can scarcely be localized exactly by the human ear

Dolby Digital (5.1)

Dolby Digital, also designated as AC3, is a digital sound format, by which up to six separate audio channels can be transported. With most of the current DVDs, the sound is stored in the so called "Dolby Digital 5.1" format; the "5" in the name "5.1" stands for the three front and two rear surround sound channels, the "1" stands for the subwoofer channel.

DTS

DTS is the abbreviation for "Digital Theatre System" and denotes one of the most common surround sound formats for DVDs. As with Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS uses three front and two rear surround sound channels as well as a bass sound channel.

What are PAL, NTSC and SECAM?

PAL

PAL is the abbreviation for "Phase Alternation Line". PAL is the mid and west Europe (Exception: France, see the heading "SECAM") customary and most wide spread colour television standard.

NTSC

NTSC is the abbreviation for "National Television System Committee". NTSC is a colour television standard that is primarily used in the USA and Japan.

SECAM

SECAM is the abbreviation for the french "système en couleur avec mémoire".
SECAM is the customary colour television norm in France and many east European countries and at present still the most widely spread system in those countries.

Audio CDs

Audio CDs contain exclusively audio data; they are also available in 8 cm and 12 cm (Diameter) formats. The playback duration for the audio data stored on them amounts to 20 minutes (8 cm format) and/or 74 minutes (12 cm format). Audio data is stored on audio CDs in CDA format.

MP3

MP3 denotes a process and/or format developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for the compression of audio data. In the MP3 format compressed music pieces are only a fraction of their original size, which, for example, on CD-Rs/CD-RWs allows for storage of a considerably greater volume of music than on commercially available audio CDs, on which audio data is stored in the CDA format.

WMA

WMA ("Windows® Media Audio") is a data format developed by Microsoft® for audio data.

JPEG

JPEG ("Joint Photographics Expert Group") denotes a wide spread graphic format, developed by the organization with the same name, with which image data of the colour and grey scales are compressed.

MPEG

MPEG ("Moving Picture Experts Group") refers to a video compression format.

What are files?

As opposed to audio CDs the title on a CD-R/CD-RW with MP3, WMA or JPEG files can be stored in folders, for example, in order to file titles from different genres.

The structure of an MP3-CD can, for example, appear as follows, if the MP3 files are stored in folders:
