The Macintosh PowerBook DVD-Video Kit contains a PowerBook G3 Series DVD-ROM Expansion Bay Module, a Macintosh PowerBook DVD-Video PC Card, and Apple DVD Player software. The DVD-ROM expansion bay module is an extremely versatile drive that can play CD-ROMs, audio CDs, and other types of CDs in addition to DVD discs. The PC Card adds the ability to play DVD movies (discs formatted to the DVD-Video specification). And the software provides an intuitive interface for easily controlling DVD movies.

Because the DVD-Video Kit is designed especially for Macintosh PowerBook G3 Series computers, you can enjoy the benefits of DVD and CD access wherever you are—such as on long airplane flights. If you’re near a larger computer monitor or a TV, you can even view discs on one of those devices instead of on the built-in PowerBook display. Similarly, you can listen to movies on the stereo speakers built into your PowerBook, or connect the computer to an external stereo or Dolby Pro Logic surround sound system for an enhanced audio experience.

A superior CD and DVD solution for every user

The Macintosh PowerBook DVD-Video Kit offers solid benefits for business, education, and home users.

The huge capacity of DVD discs makes them ideal for distributing massive amounts of business- related information. Comprehensive sales information including text, graphics, and videos of products in action could be put on a DVD disc for use by mobile personnel, giving them instant access to vital sales information wherever they are. For service and support organizations, a single DVD disc could potentially contain all relevant manuals with animations and videos of maintenance, diagnostic, and repair procedures. And because the Apple DVD drive can also play CDs, you’ll retain access to your commercial and custom CD-based materials.

In education, the DVD-Video Kit will allow students and faculty to continue to enjoy CDs while adding exciting new capabilities, such as putting an entire curriculum on a single disc.
