Glossary

Dolby Digital

Also called Dolby 5.1 or AC-3. It is an audio coding

system containing up to 6 discrete channels of sound,

with 5 channels for normal-range speakers (20 Hz -

20,000 Hz) (Right front, Center, Left Front, Right Rear

and Left Rear) and one channel (20 Hz - 120 Hz) for

the LFE, or subwoofer.

Dolby E

It is a professional coding system optimized for the

distribution of surround and multichannel audio through

two-channel postproduction and broadcasting

infrastructures, or for recording surround audio on two

audio tracks of conventional digital video tapes, video

servers, communication links, switchers, and routers.

Primary TC

Timecode (LTC or user-defined timecode type) that is

displayed at the bottom the VGA and is used to work

with the video material stored on a given recorder. The

Primary TC is defined for each recorder on page 1 of

the setup configuration in Multicam.

LTC

Longitudinal timecode (LTC) is a timing signal that is

part of an audio tape recording. It is recorded on a

track that runs lengthwise along the tape, which is why

it is called longitudinal. It can only be read if the tape

is playing.

VITC

Vertical interval timecode (VITC) is a timing signal that

is part of a video recording. It is recorded in the

vertical blanking intervals between successive picture

frames, hence the "vertical interval."
