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. DVDOs 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.
