BD-ROM (page 65)
BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only
Memory) are commercially produced discs
and are available in the same capacities as the
BD below. Other than conventional movie
and video contents, these discs have
enhanced features such as interactive content,
menu operations using pop-up menus,
selection of subtitle display, and slideshow.
Although a BD-ROM may contain any form
of data, most BD-ROM discs will contain
movies in High Definition format, for
playback on Blu-ray Disc/DVD players.
Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page 65)
A disc format developed for recording/
playing high-definition (HD) video (for
HDTV, etc.), and for storing large amounts of
data. A single layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to
25 GB, and a dual-layer Blu-ray Disc holds
up to 50 GB of data.
Deep Colour (page 47)
These are video signals for which the colour
depth of signals passing through an HDMI
jack have been enhanced. With a Non-Deep
Colour-compatible player, the number of
colours 1 pixel can express is 24 bits
(16,777,216 colours). However, with a Deep
Colour-compatible player, 1 pixel can
express more bits, such as 36 bits. With more
bits, the gradation of colour depth can be
expressed more finely, and continuous colour
changes will be displayed more smoothly.
Dolby Digital Plus (page 69)
Developed as an extension to Dolby Digital,
the audio coding technology supports 7.1
multi-channel surround sound.
Dolby TrueHD (page 69)

(High-bandwidth Digital Contents
Protection), a copy protection technology for
digital entertainment contents for HDMI.
