  • Introduction to DVD Carol Cini, U.S
    Proceedings of the 8th Annual Federal Depository Library Conference April 12 - 15, 1999 Introduction to DVD Carol Cini, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, DC DVD started out standing for Digital Video Disc, then Digital Versatile Disc, and now it’s just plain old DVD. It is essentially a bigger and faster CD that is being promoted for entertainment purposes (movies) and some computer applications. It will eventually replace audio CDs, VHS and Beta tapes, laserdiscs, CD-ROMs, and video game cartridges as more hardware and software manufacturers support this new technology. DVDs and CDs look alike. A CD is a single solid injected molded piece of carbonate plastic that has a layer of metal to reflect data to a laser reader and coat of clear laminate for protection. DVD is the same size as a CD but consists of two solid injected molded pieces of plastic bonded together. Like CDs, DVDs have a metalized layer (requires special metalization process) and are coated with clear laminate. Unlike CD's, DVD's can have two layers per side and have 4 times as many "pits" and "lands" as a CD. There are various types of DVD, including DVD-ROM, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, DVD-R, and DVD-RAM. The specifications for these DVD's are as follows: for prerecorded DVD's; Book A - DVD-ROM, Book B - DVD-Video, and Book C- DVD-Audio. For recordable DVD's, there is Book D - DVD-R, Book E - DVD-RAM. The official DVD specification books are available from Toshiba after signing a nondisclosure agreement and paying a $5,000 fee.

  • Proviewtm 7100
    ProView TM 7100 INTEGRATED RECEIVER-DECODER, TRANSCODER AND STREAM PROCESSOR Harmonic’s ProView™ 7100 is the industry’s first single-rack-unit, scalable, multiformat integrated receiver-decoder (IRD), transcoder and MPEG stream processor. Leveraging Harmonic expertise in Intelligent Function Integration™, the ProView 7100 adds broadcast-quality SD/HD MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC 4:2:0/4:2:2 10-bit decoding and video transcoding to the feature-rich ProView IRD platform, allowing content providers, broadcasters, cable MSOs and telcos to easily and cost-effectively streamline their workflows and decrease operating costs. For applications in which preserving pristine video quality is paramount, the ProView 7100 supports HEVC 4:2:2* 10-bit decoding of resolutions up to 1080p60. The ProView 7100 IRD harnesses a flexible and modular design to address the vast spectrum of content reception applications, from decoding, descrambling and multiplexing of multiple transport streams to MPEG-4 to MPEG-2 transcoding. With an advanced and dense multichannel descrambler, the ProView 7100 simplifies the deployment of (or migration to) an all-IP headend solution and powers the launch of added-value services. The flexible hardware design is easily reconfigured with firmware upgrades, enabling seamless adaptation to new inbound video formats and codecs, such as MPEG-4 AVC and HEVC. The ProView 7100 utilizes powerful processing capabilities to multiplex transport streams that include local and regional data, and also to perform deterministic remultiplexing for SFN distribution. It supports transcoding of up to eight channels of AVC to MPEG-2, allowing programmers to efficiently distribute superior-quality video content while using minimal satellite transponder capacity.
