Obviously, the higher the number, the more accurately the wave form is approximated. For example, the current de facto standard is to encode MP3 at 192 kbps, or 192,000 bits per second. The CODEC takes the bitrate into consideration as it writes each frame to the bitstream. If the bitrate is low, the irrelevancy and redundancy criteria will be measured harshly, and more subtlety will be stripped out, resulting in a lower-quality product. If the bitrate is high, the codec will be applied with leniency, and the end result will sound better. Of course, the file size of the end product corresponds directly with the bitrate. 192 kbps is an example of a constant bitrate (CBR) mode. Constant Bit Rate (CBR) encoding maintains the same bitrate throughout an encoded file. All that means is no matter what, there will always be 192 kbps written into the bitstream.

  • HDTV Vs HD Ready
    Skylink Engineering Sas - Partita Iva: 02568530964 Sede Legale: Largo Esterle, 4 Monza (MI) - Magazzino e Uffici: Via XXIV Maggio, 2–20035 Lissone (MI) SETTORE ANTENNE Numeri telefonici: Tel. 039/2457492 – Fax 039/2457591 E-Mail: [email protected] - Sito WEB: www.skylinksas.com HDTV vs HD Ready Lo scorso 20 Marzo l’EICTA (l’European Information & Communications Technology Industry Association) ha introdotto un nuovo logo che presuppone una nuova certificazione e quindi delle nuove specifiche da rispettare. Stiamo parlando dell’HDTV . Tutti sappiamo cos'è un HDTV (High Definition Television), ma non tutti sanno che un HDTV per essere considerato tale deve rispettare dei requisiti da oggi più precisi e rigorosi. Infatti non poca è stata finora la confusione che questo “appellativo” ha generato nella testa dei consumatori meno esperti. Le case produttrici dal canto loro non si sono poi tanto impegnate a chiarire eventuali dubbi: anzi molto spesso sono state le principali attrici in questo palcoscenico sovrastato dal caos totale. In sostanza il mercato dell’HDTV era (ed ancora lo è!) diventato una selva “oscura” (per dirla alla Dante), con i produttori che si davano battaglia a suon di “HD Ready e HDTV”. Ci ha pensato l’EICTA lo scorso 19 Gennaio 2005 a fare un po' di chiarezza e a riportare un po di ordine, in un mercato che ormai andava per conto suo a discapito del povero consumatore, introducendo il marchio HD READY , fino ad allora abusato da produttori e commercianti. L’associazione ha dapprima spiegato cosa si deve intendere per alta definizione e, successivamente, ha elencato quelle che sono le caratteristiche minime che un display (Plasma, lcd, Retroproiettore e Videoproiettore) deve avere per poter essere fregiato del logo HD READY.

  • Full Report Blu Ray Disc .Docx
    Blu -Ray Disc 2010 CHAPTER: - 1 INTRODUCTION 1 | P a g e Blu -Ray Disc 2010 Introduction Blu-ray Disc (official abbreviation BD) is a high definition media format designed to supersede the DVD format. The format defines as its standard physical media a 5-inch (same as DVDs and CDs), 25 GB per-layer optical disc, being dual layer discs (50 GB) the norm for feature-length video discs, and the addition of more layers left open as a future possibility. The name Blu-ray Disc refers to the "blue laser" used to read the disc, which allows for five times more storage than on a DVD. Blu-ray Disc was developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association, a group representing makers of consumer electronics, computer hardware, and motion pictures. As of June 2009, more than 1,500 Blu-ray Disc titles were available in Australia and the United Kingdom, with 2,500 in the United States and Canada. In Japan as of July 2010 more than 3,300 titles were released. During the high definition optical disc format war, Blu-ray Disc competed with the HD DVD format. Toshiba, the main company that supported HD DVD, conceded in February 2008, releasing their own Blu-ray Disc player in late 2009. 2 | P a g e Blu -Ray Disc 2010 CHAPTER: 2 HISTORY 3 | P a g e Blu -Ray Disc 2010 History A blank rewritable Blu-ray Disc (BD-RE). Commercial HDTV sets began to appear in the consumer market around 1998, but there was no commonly accepted, inexpensive way to record or play HD content.

EXAMPLES AND APPLICATIONS HDTV High Definition Television (HDTV) is expected to replace standard television in the coming years. Compared to the PAL and SECAM formats, HDTV offers up to five times more detail. The common HDTV formats are 720p, 1080i and 1080p. The 1080p format with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels/lines, delivers a picture with a resolution and picture size five times greater than the current PAL format with 720x576 pixels/lines. HDTV offers the viewer more detail. However, as picture quality improves, the amount of storage required to record such a high-resolution television signal without loss of quality also increases. Due to the large amount of television signal data, viewers can only record approximately 20 minutes of programming in HDTV quality on a conventional DVD. The Blu-ray Disc offers viewers sufficient storage capacity to record their favourite TV shows in HDTV quality without any loss of data. 4 bluray_brochure_AU.qxd 8/9/06 4:21 PM Page 5 Data Storage More and more businesses are investing in backup systems capable of storing vast amounts of data.

Colliding Technologies Norman Desmarais The next generation of DVD media – high definition or HD -- has begun to ship. The players should appear on the market soon. High definition video requires a lot of storage space – much more than current-generation DVDs can provide. That's the main factor driving the change. Before you buy into high definition video, though, there are a few things you should know. First, there are two competing standards: HD-DVD and Blu-ray. HD-DVD was developed by Toshiba and NEC and counts Universal Studios, Intel, and Microsoft among its supporters. Blu-ray was invented by Sony and has the endorsement of Disney, Fox, Apple, and Dell. Both technologies use media that looks identical to today's CDs and DVDs. They both use a 405-nanometer blue- violet laser instead of a red laser used in current CD and DVD drives. The blue- violet laser's shorter wavelength means that it can be tuned more finely to increase storage capacity.

  • Blu-Ray Disc
    1 Blu-ray Disc Submitted by: Arup Chakraborty Electronics and Telecomm. Regd no.- 0401288041 2 What is Blu-ray??? The Blu-ray Disc(BD),also known as Blu-ray,is the name of next generation optical disc format. The format was developed to enable recording,rewriting and playback of high-definition video and audio(HD) as well as storing large amounts of data. It has the capability of holding as much as five times more than the storing capacity of traditional DVD’s. 3 Why the name Blu-ray?? The name Blu-ray is derived from the underlying technology, which utilizes a blue-violet laser to read and write data instead of the red laser as in the present DVD. The name is a combination of "Blue" (blue-violet laser) and "Ray" (optical ray). According to the Blu-ray Disc Association the spelling of "Blu-ray" is not a mistake, the character "e" was intentionally left out so the term could be registered as a trademark. 4 Who developed Blu-ray? Computer and media manufacturers, with more than 180 member companies from all over the world. The Board of Directors currently consists of: Apple Computer, Inc. Dell Inc. Hewlett Packard Company Hitachi, Ltd. LG Electronics Inc. Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. Mitsubishi Electric Corporation Pioneer Corporation Royal Philips Electronics Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. Sharp Corporation Sony Corporation Sun Microsystems, Inc. TDK Corporation Thomson Multimedia Twentieth Century Fox Walt Disney Pictures Warner Bros. Entertainment 5 What Blu-ray formats are planned? As with conventional CDs and DVDs, Blu-ray plans to provide a wide range of formats including ROM/R/RW.
