Introduction
CineMaster Overview
This User’s Guide covers the CineMaster C-1.2DDVD Decoder board and DVD Player software.
Features
MPEG-2video decoding in hardware ⎯ MPEG-2 is the compression standard used with DVD. This compression method allows over two hours of crisp, clear video to be stored on the first DVD discs.
Dolby® Digital Sound (AC-3) decoding in hardware ⎯ CineMaster delivers full 5.1 channel digital audio out to the S/PDIF connector.
Multi-Language Support ⎯ CineMaster supports software selection of up to 8 different languages from any DVD source containing multilingual audio channel information.
Sub-Picture Decoding / Sub-Title ⎯ Up to 32 sub-picture streams, as well as sub-titles, text, and closed-captioning, can be decoded by CineMaster and presented to the user.
Parental Control ⎯ Playback of DVD discs that feature Parental Management can be selectively disabled, so discs containing material inappropriate for children cannot be viewed without parental consent. In addition, if there are multiple versions with different ratings, you can select the rating you wish to view.
Wide-Screen/Pan-Scan ⎯ CineMaster supports all of the DVD formats for video presentation and aspect ratio.
Multi-Angle and Special Sequences ⎯ CineMaster provides for playback of movies filmed with multiple cameras, allowing the user to choose the angle, and to include special sequences that have been specified by the film director (“Director’s Cut”).
