DVD
The DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) was introduced in 1995 and is a storage media with a large
capacity.
While a standard CD can store 650 MB of data, the DVD can store up to 9 GB. Especially when it
comes to video playback, a large storage capacity is important. Beyond its high capacity, the
consumer enjoys high quality video and audio. A DVD can store up to 8 different audio streams, so
in best case, the movie can be watched in 8 different languages.
GUI
Graphic User Interface. See OSD.
HDCD
Pacific Microsonics has developed a digital audio technology using the full potential of a CD. The
HDCD process (High Definition Compatible Digital) is a patented coding and decoding process
transporting the complete details of a high resolution “master recording” to a CD. There were
several attempts to improve the sound quality of CD’s, but none which could be compared to HDCD
process.
Hosiden-connector
4-pin connector for S-Video connections.
Interlaced
The picture is created by writing two half pictures with a 1 line set-off on the screen. This is standard
on conventional 50 Hz TV sets.
JPEG CD
On a JPEG-CD are the picture in JPEG format with support of different resolutions which are stored
on a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R or DVD+RW. Please creates the disc by burning

LPCM
LPCM stands for: Linear Pulse Code Modulation.
Digital, uncompressed audio recording. Standard on Audio-CDs.
MP3
MPEG 1 Layer 3 Codec, or short MP3, was developed in 1987 by Fraunhofer Institut für Integrierte
Schaltungen and was a revolution in audio compression. In 1992 it became part of MPEG-1 video
format. As MP3 offered high quality audio at incredible small file size, it became an won standard.
With this codec one can compress audio files to about 1 MB / minute.
MPEG-4
MPEG-4 is a standard used primarily to compress audio and video (AV) digital data. Introduced in
late 1998, it is the designation for a group of audio and video coding standards and related
technology agreed upon by the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). The uses for the
MPEG-4 standard are web (streaming media) and CD distribution, conversation (videophone), and
broadcast television, all of which benefit from compressing the AV stream. MPEG-4 absorbs many
of the features of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 and other related standards.
By MPEG-4 could be used a lot of different audio compression method. Most popular are MP3 and
AC3.
