17. Glossary / Key Word Index
What are DVDs, VCDs and S-VCDs?
DVDs
DVD is the short form for "Digital Versatile Disc". DVDs are a storage medium
for audio and video data; they are available in 8 cm and 12 cm (Diameter)
formats. Because of the much higher storage capacity as compared to CD-Rs/
CD-RWs DVDs can provide a playback duration of up to eight hours for the
audio and video data stored on them.
VCDs/S-VCDs
"Video CD" (VCD) and "Super Video CD" (S-VCD) are designations for two
processes of compressed storage, thus space saving, of films on CDs. VCDs
and S-VCDs are available in 8 cm and 12 cm (Diameter) formats. Their storage
capacity is a great deal lower than that of DVDs. For this reason they only
offer a playback duration, for the saved audio and video data on them, of
20 minutes (8 cm format) and/or 74 minutes (12 cm format).
VCDs are available in two versions:
• Only audio and video data can be played back on version 1.1 VCDs/
S-VCDs.
• PBC (Playback control) functions are available on version 2.0 VCDs/
S-VCDs. In addition still images can be played back in a higher resolution.
Playback Control (PBC)
Version 2.0 VCDs/S-VCDs have Playback Control (in short "PBC") at their
disposal. Then on the VCD/S-VCD a main menu is available, by which
various functions of the VCD/S-VCD are allowed to be operated.
What are Title and Chapter?
Title is the name given to the largest units of image and sound units on DVDs;
on many DVDs the (Main) film has the title number 01. For bonus material
(i.e. Film trailer, background information etc.), that is available on many
DVDs, other possible title numbers can be used.
Chapter is the name given to the next smaller image and sound units beneath
title. If the DVD/VCD/S-VCD or its title is divided into chapters, numbers are
assigned to you, through the input of which the chapter can be selected direct.
Bear in mind that not on all DVDs …
• are the DVD or the title divided into (numbered) chapters
• Chapters are also designated as "Scenes" (i.e. in the main menu of
DVDs)
What are Scart, S-Video, Composite-Video Progressive
Scan, YUV and HDMI?
Scart
Scart denotes a 21 pole standardized plug connection, via which the RGB
signal, video signal and S-Video signal as well as a number of control and
auxiliary signals are transmitted.
S-video
When the DVD player is connected to a television via S-Video the brightness
and colour signals are transmitted seperately; in this way a greater image
sharpness and a reduced so called "Colour noise" is achieved.
Colour noise refers to the overlaying of the colours, mostly heavily saturated
parts of a video image, through an irregular, restive breakdown structure.
Composite video
Video signal or FBAS signal; thereby it involves an image signal, in which
colour and brightness information are included at the same time.
