ReferenceVQT2J62108GlossaryPan&Scan/LetterboxIn general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention thatthey be viewed on a widescreen television (16:9 aspectratio), so images often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio)televisions. Two styles of picture, “Pan & Scan” and“Letterbox”, deal with this problem.Progressive/InterlaceInterlace is a conventional image signal that displays theimage in 2 phases by splitting the display into odd and evenscans.Progressive will display whole image in 1 scan. Therefore, itwill give High Definition image without flickering comparedwith interlace.ProtectionYou can prevent accidental deletion by setting writingprotection or deletion protection.RouterDistinguishes the IP address assigned to each device, suchas the PC, and relays the flow of data within the network.Sampling frequencySampling is the process of converting the heights of soundwave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits(digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number ofsamples taken per second, so larger numbers mean morefaithful reproduction of the original sound.Signal QualityThis is the guide for checking the aerial direction. Thenumbered values displayed do not indicate the strength ofthe signal, but the quality of the signal (the signal to noiseratio, or “S/N”). The channels you can receive are affectedby weather conditions, seasons, time (day/night), region,length of the cable that is connected to the aerial, etc.Subnet maskEnables efficient network use. A set of numbers whichidentify which part of the IP address allocated to everydevice connected to the router is the network portion.ThumbnailThis refers to a miniature representation of a picture used todisplay multiple pictures in the form of a list.x.v.Colour TMx.v.ColourTM is a name for devices that are compatible withthe xvYCC format, an international standard for expandedcolour in motion pictures, and that follow the rules for signaltransmission.You can enjoy vivid colours of wider colour ranges for amore realistic picture when connected to a TV that supportsthe x.v.ColourTM with HDMI cable.1080iIn one High Definition image, 1080 (1125) alternating scanlines pass every 1/50th of a second to create an interlaceimage. Because 1080i (1125i) more than doubles currenttelevision broadcasts of 480i (525i), the detail is muchclearer and creates a more realistic and rich image.1080pIn one High Definition image, 1080 (1125) scan lines pass atthe same time every 1/50 th of a second to create aprogressive image. Since progressive video does notalternate scan lines like interlace, there is a minimal amountof screen flicker.720pIn one High Definition image, 720 (750) scan lines pass atthe same time every 1/50 th of a second to create aprogressive image. Since progressive video does notalternate scan lines like interlace, there is a minimal amountof screen flicker.Pan & Scan: The sides are cut off so thepicture fills the screen.Letterbox: Black bands appear at thetop and bottom of the pictureso the picture itself appears inan aspect ratio of 16:9.
