from one Resolution to another. As with any type of
signal processing, care must be taken to ensure that
the signal is not degraded by the processing itself.

S/PDIF

commonly used to transmit digital audio

a receiver (such as a surround-sound processor). The
connectors used for S/PDIF are common RCA
(Cinch) connectors. Also see AES/EBU.

commands to the player. A User Operation
Prohibition is a disc-based command that tells the
player to ignore commands issued by the user. For
example, many video discs will display an FBI
warning at the beginning of the disc and issue a
UOP that temporarily disables most user
commands.

algorithm used in the some Blu-ray discs.
