Optimum disc playability : ensuring excellent picture quality

Philips components and modules for the various CD applications have always enjoyed an excellent reputation in the market place for super disc playability - the ability to play discs which may be scratched, soiled or not fully according to the standard specification.This position has been underlined by tests showing the superior performance of the various Philips players, as well as by the positive experiences of millions of individual consumers around the world.

Constantly improving performance

As the penetration of the CD system has increased, and new applications like CD-ROM and Video CD have become commonplace, Philips Components - as the CD technology inventor and as one of the major suppliers of CD player modules in the industry - has constantly improved the performance of its products.

One of the ways in which this benefits users is by optimum disc playability.This is an important parameter for CD players other than CD Audio, and especially for the Video CD applications, because any loss of data from the disc will at best cause disturbances in the reproduced picture, and at worst can cause the player to lose track so that disc playing fails.

Presenting Super Error Correction

To ensure consistently good results when playing Video CD discs of all quality grades and conditions, Philips has introduced further improvements in the system's playability.These developments together are called Super Error Correction, a proprietary Philips technology optimizing the system's ability to handle less-than- perfect discs with the minimum disturbance to normal playing.

By effectively eliminating virtually all errors arising under normal playing conditions, Super Error Correction ensures that the picture quality as seen by the user is independent of disc play.The video encoding and processing during mastering of the disc, and the MPEG-1 decoding and video encoding in the signal processing stages, are now the only limiting factors for picture quality.
