Glossary

Album
Section of a music piece or an image on a data
CD containing MP3 audio tracks or JPEG files.
Chapter
Subdivision of a title on a DVD. A title is
composed of several chapters.
Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)
This is the generic name of the surround sound
produced by digital signal processing
technology developed by Sony. Unlike previous
surround sound fields mainly directed at the
reproduction of music, Digital Cinema Sound is
designed specifically for the enjoyment of
movies.
Dolby Digital
This movie theatre sound format is more
advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In
this format, the surround speakers output stereo
sound with an expanded frequency range, and a
subwoofer channel for deep bass is
independently provided. This format is also
called "5.1," with the subwoofer channel
designated as the 0.1 channel (since it functions
only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six
channels in this format are recorded separately
for superior channel separation. Furthermore,
since all the signals are processed digitally, less
signal degradation occurs.
Dolby Digital EX
An enhanced compatible format of Dolby
Digital 5.1, developed by Dolby Laboratories
and Lucasfilm THX, which adds an extra
surround back channel, and can be used for
6.1(three surround speakers) channel playback,
using matrix encoding.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth
output channels from two-channel sources. This
is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix
surround decoder that extracts the spatial
properties of the original recording without
adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
