DNS
The abbreviation DNS stands for Domain Name Service and refers to a
provider of Internet services that registers domain names for customers.
Domain
A domain is the website's Internet address. It consists of the name of the
Internet protocol (usually http://), the computer or network name (such as
www), the second-level domain (such as magix), and the top level domain
(like .com, .net).
Altogether we have: protocol://networkname.second-level-domain.top-level-
domain (such as "http://www.magix.com").
Domains are allocated by a country's so-called NIC (Network Information
Center). In Germany the DENIC is responsible for the release of domains.
Domain transfer
See CC. If you already have a domain, you can move it from your previous
provider to another provider.
Downmix
A method developed for audio technology to turn a Surround Sound
recording into a version with fewer channels. Most often (as is the case with
MAGIX Video Pro X3) this will be a stereo version.
Drag & drop
Enables files and objects to be moved freely between various applications
(or within an application) by dragging the object and letting it drop using the
mouse cursor.
F
Fader
Used for visual input of values. Similar to volume control on a mixing board,
you can control various parameters by sliding the fader. A very common
example for this is the zoom slider that lets you see a picture in more detail.
Field
A half-image, two of which combine to produce a frame (see interlace).
Flip menu
Drop down menus create menus consisting of lists of selectable choices.
They look very similar to text input fields, but have a button with a
downward-pointing symbol on the right-hand side.
