Graphic Planes - LG BH100 Training Manual

OPERATION
JAVA FONT SIZE
This setting adjusts the default size of text displayed for Java-based contents during BD_ROM
playback. This setting only applies to Java contents and is not a setting for general text sizes.
Available sizes are; 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, or 80. When connected to a HD TV, it is advised
to set the font size to a setting higher than 24.

GRAPHIC PLANES

Two individual, full HD resolution (1920x1080)
graphic planes (layers) are available, on top of the
HD video layer. One plane is assigned to video-
related, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles),
and the other plane is assigned to interactive
graphic elements, such as buttons or menus. For
both planes, various wipes, fades and scroll effects may be available. These transparent graphic planes
are where menu data is displayed as an overlay, instead of being part of the HD video content itself.
With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a new menu screen is accessed. Due to BD-ROM
disc's ability to preload data from the disc without interrupting playback, menus can be loaded onto
one or both graphic planes and displayed without interrupting the HD video playback. In reality,
there is little difference between the Disc Menu and Pop Up Menu of a BD title. The only difference is
the content playing on the HD Video layer.
The menu items available from a BD disc are similar to those from a DVD disc. The standard items
such as "Play Movie", "Language Selection", "Scene Selection", and "Special Features" have the same
function as they always have had. The BD format simply adds more interactivity.
The BH100 is optimized for the BD-ROM disc
format, and can play back the HD contents of
HD DVD format discs. However, the BH100 is
unable to support some advanced features
provided by HD DVD discs. These features include the interactive menus associated with the HD DVD
format. In lieu of a HD DVD title's Disc Menu, the BH100 is equipped to display an internal menu for
control of HD DVD discs. Much of the interactive content of a HD DVD disc will be inaccessible, but
the movie content and basic access is available via the BH100's HD DVD Menu.
