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 - in 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 present 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.
