GLOSSARY
LD terms
Chapter number
Just like the numbers assigned to chapters of a book, the
LD disc is divided into several chapters and each of them is
assigned a chapter number. If the chapter numbers are
recorded on the disc, it is possible to perform operations
such as the chapter search which quickly searches the de-
sired chapter.
• Some LD discs do not contain recorded chapter num-
bers.
Frame number
A frame number is assigned to every frame in a CAV disc.
This makes possible operations such as the frame search
which searches desired images based on their frame num-
bers.
Time number
This refers to the elapsed playing time from the beginning
of the disc that is recorded on CLV discs as well as on CAV
discs with TOC*I. This allows operations such as the time
number search which searches desired images based on
their time numbers.
CDV/CD terms
Track number
The CDV or CD disc is divided into several tracks and each
of them is assigned a track number. With the CDV disc, the
track numbers are recorded across the audio and video
parts. This allows operations such as the track search which
quickly searches the desired track.
TOO ('1)
CD and CDV discs contain non-audio information called the
TOC (Table Of Contents) at the beginning of the disc. As
this name implies, the TOC contains information on the
number of tracks and their playing time just like the table of
contents of a book.
• Some LD discs are not provided with a TOC section.
• The LD with TOC and the CDV belong to the same
category of "optical video disc systems with digital au-
dio".
CD video system
The CD video system is the unified name given to "optical
video disc systems with digital audio".
The systems belonging to this category include;
• CDV disc (CD VIDEO, CDV)
• LD with subcode and digital audio
• CD/CDV compatible player
• CD/CDV/LD compatible player
