(PB/CB, PR/CR)
is independent
to output
so that you can experience

with progressive
video (525p/
480p),you
can experience
higher-density
picture than that
in interlace
(525i/480i).
Digital
Audio
An indirect
representation
of sound by numbers.
During
recording,
the sound is measured
at discrete intervals
(44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to-

generating
a stream of numbers.
On
playback,
a digital-to-analog
converter
generates
an
analog signal based on these numbers.
