DSD
Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology stores audio signals on digital
storage media, such as Super Audis. Using DSD, signals are stored as
single bit values at a high-frequ

PCM (Linear PCM)
Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog audio signal is
digitized, recorded and transmitted without using any compressio
used as a method of recording CDs and DPCM system uses
a technique for sampling the size of the analog signal per very small unit of
time. Standing for “Pulse Code Modution,

Sampling frequency and number of quantized bits
When digitizing an analog audio signal, the number of times the
sampled per second is called the sampling
accuracy when con

determined based on the sampling rate, whereas the dynamic range

Color can be reproduced more faithfully with this system because each of
these signals is independent. The component signal is also called the “color
difference signal” because the luminance signal is subtracted from the color
signal. A monitor with component input jacks is required in order to output
component signals.
Composite video signal
Wem, the video signal comprises the
three basic elements of a video picture: colo
synchronization data. A composite video jack on a video co
transmits these three elements combined.
Deep Color
Deep Color refers to
24-bit depths in pre the HDMI specification. This extra bit
depth allows HDTVs and other displays increase from millions of colors to
billions of colors and eliminate on-screen color banding for smooth tonal
transitions and subtle gradations between colors. Th
ratio can represent shades of gray between black and
white. AdditionallyColor increases the number of available colors
within the boundaries def
