CD formats
Ways of writing information to a CD-R or CD-RW. The Plextalk is compatible with
these formats: CD-DA, CD-ROM Mode 1, Mix Mode CD, CD-ROM XA Mode 2,
Video CD, CD Extra, CD TEXT.
CD TEXT
CD format. This is the standard for inserting text information, such as album titles
and names of music, onto a music CD. Approximately 6,000 half-size characters
can be stored. Up to eight languages can also be recorded.
CD-DA
CD-DA is short for CD-Digital Audio. Music CDs that play on audio equipment are
saved in this format.
CD-R
CD-R (Compact Disc-Recordable) refers to a writable CD. A CD-R can be written
only once. You cannot erase or alter data that has been written. However, if there is
remaining capacity under multi-session, you can add to a CD-R up to a maximum of
99 times.
CD-R/RW drive
A drive that writes to CD-R media, and that can also write to and erase CD-RW
media.
CD-ROM Mode 1
CD format. This is the format generally used for saving general computer data.
CD-ROM XA Mode 2
CD format. This format is suited to multimedia and reinforces the linkage of data
with voice and images.
CD-RW
CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a CD that can be written and erased. You
can read and erase a CD-RW approximately 1,000 times.
Complete erase
Erasing mode for CD-RW. Erases the entire recording surface of the medium.
Condenser microphone
In a condenser microphone, voltage is applied between electrodes, changing the
microphone’s electrostatic capacity and converting sound to an electrical signal.
(Consequently, the condenser microphone requires a power source for operating
the microphone.)
