AACS
“Advanced Access Content System” is a
specification for managing digital
entertainment contents stored on the next
generation of prerecorded and recorded
optical media. The specification enables
consumers to enjoy digital entertainment
content, including high-definition content.
AVCHD (page 59)
The AVCHD format is a high definition
digital video camera format used to record
SD (standard definition) or HD (high
definition) signals of either the 1080i
specification
*1
or the 720p specification
*2
on
DVDs, using efficient data compression
coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/
H.264 format is adopted to compress video
data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM is
used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4
AVC/H.264 format is capable of
compressing images at higher efficiency than
that of the conventional image compression
format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format
enables a high definition (HD) video signal
shot on a digital video camera recorder to be
recorded on DVDs in the same way as for a
standard definition (SD) television signal.
*1
A high definition specification that utilises 1080
effective scanning lines and the interlace format.
*2
A high definition specification that utilises 720
effective scanning lines and the progressive
format.
