GLOSSARY
Film mode
Detects and processes feature films automati-
cally for all channel sources. This means that
you get the optimum picture at all times.
This works for 480i, 576i and 1080i modes in
TV playback and for other channel sources.
If "Film mode" is switched on for programs that
do not have a feature film signal, minor prob-
lems may occur, such as a dull picture, incorrect
subtitles, or thin lines in the picture.
Firmware version
Firmware is the term used for software that is em-
bedded in a programmed chip (microcontroller).
It is mostly stored in a flash memory, an EPROM
or an EEPROM. The firmware contains functions
for controlling the device.
Gamma
This setting establishes which brightness value
should be displayed for which digital transmis-
sion value. Most recordings are transmitted with
a gamma value of 2.2 (all Windows PCs and
newer PCs with a MAC operating system work
with this; older MAC systems and transmissions
without color profile mostly operate with a
gamma value of 1.8).
Gateway
Gateway allows networks, which may be based
on completely different protocols, to communi-
cate with each other. In the home area, a com-
bination of the router and the DSL modemare
used as an Internet gateway.
Hardware version
Hardware in this context means the device.
This includes all components such as processor,
display, etc.
