With the advent of Blu-ray, the additional storage
space has allowed for lossless audio compression
schemes. While the compression ratio is typically
five times lower than lossy compression, lossless
compression allows for the exact reproduction of the
original PCM signal.

Compressed Video

Full-motion video requires a monumental amount
of information to be stored. All digital consumer
formats compress the video signal to allow it to fit
on the disc. Luckily, digital video lends itself well to
compression and both DVD and Blu-ray can provide
superb picture quality using various video
compression schemes.

D-ILA

Digital-Imaging Light Amplifier is a type of LCOS
video display technology developed by JVC. This is
one example of a Fixed Pixel display.

DLP

Digital Light Processing is the name of Texas
Instruments’ movable micro-mirror technology used
in video displays. This is one example of a Fixed
Pixel
display.

Dolby Digital

A Compressed Audio format developed by Dolby Labs,
this is found on virtually all DVDs. For higher
quality audio on Blu-ray discs Dolby Labs has
developed Dolby True HD, a Lossless Audio
compression format.

DoP

DSD over PCM is a method of packetizing
streaming DSD audio data so that it appears to
audio devices as a standard PCM format.
