The entertainment medium for the mille- nium
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 lan- guages, 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 com- parable 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.
