Composite video Video signal or FBAS signal; this refers to a video signal that contains both colour and brightness information. Progressive scan Normally TV sets and Video projectors with so called "Half images" are controlled. This results in clearly visible line structures. In contrast, progressive scan refers to the supply of full images (with this DVD player at the YPbPr output), progressive scan signals can only be processed by playback devices (primarily large screen televisions, projectors) that offer this feature. The image quality is significantly better than typical video signals. YUV (component video out) YUV refers to the component signal, which is available with this device at the YPbPR output in the form of "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 RGB video signals, the YUV consists of three separate video signals: the brightness signal "Y" and both colour difference signals "Pb/Cb" and "Pr/Cr" Half images (interlacing) / full images (progressive scanning) A standard television image consists of 576 visible lines; first the odd then the even image lines are displayed in alternation. In other words, one half image is shown at a time. In this way, only 30 full images (60 half images) can be displayed per second. This method is referred to as "interlace" format. Contrary to this with the so called progressive or "Progressive scan" format all images are shown every time, that is to say 60 full images per second are displayed. This increases the overall quality of the image; for example paused images and text appear sharper. HDMI HDMI is short for "High Definition Multimedia Interface" and refers to a 19 contact interface for complete digital transmission of audio and video data. With its high bandwidth HDMI handles all known today home electronics digital video and audio formats. HDMI transmits audio data up to frequencys of 192 kHz with text widths of up to 24 Bit on up to 8 channels. Thus not only all of today's image and sound formats introduced into home electronics including HDTV (up to the highest present resolution of 1080i) are transmitted without loss of quality but also future formats with yet higher resolutions.

Decoder The sound on DVDs with home theatre sound is saved on the DVD in encrypted (encoded) form. Different encryption formats exist for several purposes, for example AC-3 for the playback of Dolby Digital Surround Sound. To playback the encrypted sound the playback device (i.e. the DVD player) and/or the audio component connected to it (i.e. Surround system) must have a so called Decoder that can turn the encrypted signal back into music and/or sound. The Silvercrest KH 6510/KH 6511 DVD player is equiped with an AC-3 Decoder (for Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound signals). Dolby Surround Dolby Surround is an analog audio format with which the two channels of a stereo audio signal are used to store surround sound information for an additional channel. 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 with the Dolby Surround audio format, Dolby Prologic uses an additional channel in the stereo signal; this is the "center" channel. The corresponding center speaker is situated directly between the stereo speakers. The deepest tones are sent to a low range speaker, called a "subwoofer". The subwoofer can be placed at any location in the room; the reason for this is that the deep tones emitted by the subwoofer cannot be precisely localised by the human ear. Dolby Digital (5.1) Dolby Digital, also referred to as AC3, is a digital audio format with which up to six separate audio channels can be transmitted. On most current DVDs, the audio is stored in "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 short for "Digital Theatre System" and is designated one of the most conventional 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 subwoofer channel. What are PAL, NTSC and SECAM? PAL PAL is short for "Phase Alternation Line". PAL is the typical and most common colour television standard in Central and Western Europe (exception: France see the heading "SECAM"), the most wide spread and common colour television standard.
NTSC NTSC is short for "National Television System Committee". NTSC is a colour television standard that is used primarily in the USA and Japan. SECAM SECAM is the abbreviation for the French "systme en couleur avec mmoire". SECAM is currently the typical and most common colour television standard in France and many Eastern European countries. Audio CDs Audio CDs contain only audio data; they are also available in the sizes 8 cm and 12 cm (diameter). The playback time for the audio data stored on CDs is 20 minutes (8 cm size) or 74 minutes (12 cm size). Audio data is stored on audio CDs in the CDA format. MP3 MP3 refers to a method or format for compression of audio files developed by the Fraunhofer Institute. In MP3 format compressed music is only a fraction of its original size, whereby, for example, on CD-Rs/CD-RWs far more music can be stored than on standard audio CDs, on which audio data is stored in CDA format. WMA WMA ("Windows Media Audio") is a data format developed by Microsoft for Audio data. JPEG JPEG ("Joint Photographics Expert Group") refers to a widely used graphics format developed by the organisation of the same name, with which colour and gray scale image data are compressed. Nero Digital NERO is a dta compresion program, which can compress all video formats to less than 20% of their original size, while still maintaining a high qualiyt. CDs, which have been recorded with NERO, can contain chapters and sub-titles in two languages. The CDs are operated via the normal buttons that are used for DVDs. Data, which are not created with the NERO Digital "Standard Profile, may not play immediately or only with restrictions. DivX DivX is a coding format for videos and multi-medial data, invented by DivX Networks, Inc. MPEG MPEG ("Moving Picture Experts Group") refers to a Video compression format. USB memory sticks The term USB memory stick refers to a plugable USB device, which is approximately the size of a cigarette lighter. The expression is only colloquial and not a designation for a type of product. For the most part with this expression is meant a USB device that serves as an interchangeable storage media.
