Bit Depth - The number of data bits used to

higher resolution and therefore higher fidelity.

Aspect Ratio - The ratio of screen width to

height. The aspect ratio of the standard TV

screen is 4:3. The high-definition TV (HDTV)

format is 16:9. When a widescreen movie is

shown on a 4:3 TV there are two ways to dis-

play the image:

• 4:3 Letter Box - The entire original

screen frame is displayed on the TV. However,

this results in extra space (black bars) above

and below the frame.

that contains up to 74 minutes of hi-fi stereo

sound. The most common platter size is

120mm (4.75") in diameter, recorded on one

even greater storage capacity.

DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) – A

device that converts digital pulses into analog

which further compresses the video data by

encoding only the differences in the images

between key frames.

Speech Enhancer - Audio technology that

enhances certain frequencies, to increase

clarity of dialogue, especially when the volume

is low.

PCM - (Pulse Code Modulation) A technique

TFT LCD (Thin Film Transistor LCD) -

Known as "active matrix", TFT LCDs have

transistors built into each pixel within the

screen. For example, a 480 x 234 color

screen requires 336,960 transistors; one for

each red, green and blue dot. TFT LCDs pro-

for converting analog signals into digital form.

Sampling Rate - In Pulse Code Modulation,

the rate or frequency at which samples are

taken when analog signals are converted into

digital code. For example, audio that is encoded vide a sharp, clear image with excellent con-

for music CDs is sampled at a frequency of

44.1 KHz (KiloHertz), which means 44,056

samples are taken per second. Each sample

taken is “quantized” or converted into a 16-bit

binary number. The sampling rate, in conjunc-

tion with bit depth, gives the resolution.

Therefore the resolution of CD audio is

44.1KHz/16-bit. The higher the resolution,

the higher the fidelity will be to the original.

See “Bit Depth”.

Video CD - A CD format used to hold full-

motion video, developed by Matsushita, Philips,

Sony and JVC. A VCD holds 74 minutes of

VHS-quality video and CD-quality sound using

are concentric circles. CD and DVD tracks have

one continuous, spiral-shaped channel starting

near the center and moving outward.

Virtual Surround Sound - VSS technol-

ogy employs advanced algorithms to

simulate surround sound from stereo

speakers in one of two ways. For

discs with multi-channel audio (such

as Dolby Digital AC-3), the audio sig-

nal is converted into a two-channel

signal in such a way as to retain a

surround sound effect. For discs with

stereo sound, the audio is enhanced

to simulate surround sound. The

result is a highly realistic, more true-

to-life, and involving entertainment

experience for movies and music.

WMA (Windows Media Audio) -

Microsoft's proprietary audio codec designed to

compete with MP3. Claims competitive sound

quality at lower bit rates.
