x DTS-HD
Audio format which extends the conventional
DTS Digital Surround format.
This format consists of a core and an
extension, and the core part has DTS Digital
Surround compatibility. There are two kinds of
DTS-HD, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
and DTS-HD Master Audio. DTS-HD High
Resolution Audio has a maximum
transmission rate of 6 Mbps, with lossy
compression (Lossy), and DTS-HD High
Resolution Audio corresponds to a maximum
sampling frequency of 96 kHz, and a
maximum of 7.1 channel. DTS-HD Master
Audio has the maximum transmission rate of
24.5 Mbps, and uses lossless compression
(Lossless), and DTS-HD Master Audio
corresponds to a maximum sampling
frequency of 192 kHz, and a maximum of
7.1 channel.
x DTS Neo:6
This technology converts 2 channel stereo
recorded audio for 7 channel playback. There
are two modes to select according to the
playback source or your preference, CINEMA
for movies, and MUSIC for stereo sources
such as music.
x HDMI (High-Definition
Multimedia Interface)
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface) is an interface that supports both
video and audio on a single digital connection,
allowing you to enjoy high quality digital
picture and sound. The HDMI specification
supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Contents Protection), a copy protection
technology that incorporates coding
technology for digital video signals.
x High Bitrate Audio
It refers to the audio formats of the
compression method (DTS-HD Master Audio,
Dolby TrueHD, etc.) which is a high bitrate
format recorded mainly on Blu-ray disc etc.
x Interlace
A scanning method which completes a picture
by displaying half of the lines on a tube surface
of a TV or monitor each 1/60 second. First, all
the odd-numbered lines are drawn, leaving
spaces between each line, then all the even-
numbered lines are drawn to fill the spaces.
“i” of “480i” stands for “Interlace”.
x LFE (Low Frequency Effects)
Sound effects of low frequencies which are
output from a subwoofer in Dolby Digital or
DTS, etc. By adding a deep bass with a
frequency between 20 to 120 Hz, audio
becomes more powerful.
x PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
A method of converting analog audio to digital
audio for easy enjoyment of digital sound.
x Progressive
A scanning method that draws all scanning
lines sequentially, as opposed to interlaced
scanning where all the odd and then all the
even lines are drawn.
“p” of “480p” stands for “Progressive”.
x S-AIR (Sony Audio Interactive
Radio frequency)
Recent times have seen the rapid spread of
DVD media, Digital Broadcasting, and other
high quality media.
To ensure that the subtle nuances of these high
quality media are transmitted with no
deterioration, Sony has developed a
technology called “S-AIR” for the radio
transmission of digital audio signals with no
compression, and has incorporated this
technology into the EZW-RT10/EZW-T100.
This technology transfers digital audio signals
with no compression using the 2.4 GHz band
range of ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, and
Medical band), such as wireless LANs and
Bluetooth applications.
