DVNC70H096_101.pm6
This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures and sound have
been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression
technology (MPEG II) and high-density recording technology, DVD enables esthetically
pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a
whole movie can be recorded).
DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs which are adhered to each
other. Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the information can be
recorded, a DVD disc has a greater capacity than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. Since the
two thin discs are adhered to each other, there is the potential to achieve double-sided
play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.
Screen size that cuts off the top and bottom of the image to allow playing of Wide (16:9)
software on a connected 4:3 TV.
Linear PCM is a signal recording format used for audio CDs.
The sound on audio CDs is recorded at 44.1 kHz with 16 bits. (On DVD discs, sound is
recorded at between 48 kHz with 16 bits and 96 kHz with 24 bits.)
Screen size that cuts off the sides of the image to allow playing of Wide (16:9) software
on a connected 4:3 TV.
Laser device that reads the data from a disc for playback.
Number identifying a geographic region of compatibility for a DVD.
