INTRODUCTION
DVD-VIDEO-THE ENTERTAINMENT MEDIUM FOR THE
MILLENIUM
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 languages, plus subtitles - when you want them
- 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.
THE PHILIPS MATCHLINE PLAYER: DVD-VIDEO AT ITS
BRILLIANT BEST
Top model of the Philips DVD-Video player range, the
DVD930/935 Matchline player guarantees you the highest
quality, convenience, and simplicity of operation available in
this new medium. What’s more, it gives you outstanding
reproduction of Video and Audio CDs. Thus, you get the best
of both worlds - upgrading to DVD-Video, while still enjoying
the unrestricted use of your existing disc collection.
That’s player performance out of the top drawer, from Philips.
And it’s guaranteed by the most advanced technology, and
based on the longest experience, in the optical disc industry.
DIGITAL VIDEO
DVD-Video uses
state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression
technology
to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc.
DVD’s 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 comparable 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
present 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
.
CONSTRUCTION
DVD has afour times denser recording pattern, and only half
the focal length of CD. But full compatibility demands accurate
signal readout from both types of disc. That’s why this player
features a
Dual-lens, single-laser optical pickup
, guaranteeing
the best accuracy in both cases. The individual lenses are
optimized for spherical aberration, which is not possible with
dual-focus hologram systems. Lens selection is automatic
whenever a disc is loaded.
Stepping motor technology (already proven in Philips CD-ROM
drives) ensures very fast direct access to the video and audio of
your choice. Years of experience in optical drive control are
embedded in the
Philips High-Density signal processor
which
optimizes stepping motor control to get the best possible
readout of high-density DVD-Video discs.
