Introduction
The entertainment medium for the
millenium
Video was never like this before! Perfect digital studio-quality pictures
with truly 3- dimensional digital multichannel audio. Story sequences
screened from your own choice of camera angle.
Language barriers broken down by sound tracks in as many as eight
languages, plus subtitles - if available on disc - as many as 32. And
whether you watch DVD-Video on wide-screen or regular TV, you
always see it the way it was meant to be.
Digital video
DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology
to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVD's variable bitrate
compression, running at up to 9.8 Mbits/second, captures even the most
complex pictures in their original quality.
The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of over 500
lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line.This resolution is
more than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely
comparable with digital masters made in recording studios.
DVD-Video discs conform to either the PAL or NTSC video standard.
This dual-standard player can play both types, and presents them in the
best possible way on your multistandard TV screen.
As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video offers optimal
pictures on any TV screen.
