PRODVD-VIDEO: THE MEDIUM OF CHOICE FOR  
PROFESSIONAL CUSTOMERS  
DIGITAL VIDEO  
The professional DVD player provides all the advantages of  
DVD-video and more. Additional control devices like for  
example touch screens or wired controls can easily be  
connected. Next to that the Professional player is featured  
with NVRAM memory to store and retrieve results or settings.  
This player is the ideal medium for kiosk, training or business  
presentation applications.  
Video was never like this before! Perfect digital, studio-quali-  
ty pictures with truly 3-dimensional digital multichannel  
audio. Story sequences viewed on screen from your own  
choice of camera angle.  
DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression  
technology to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc.  
DVDs variable bit-rate 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 to the digital masters  
made in recording studios.  
Language barriers are broken down by sound tracks in as  
many as eight languages, plus subtitling - if available on disc  
- in 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 seen.  
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  
optimum viewing on any TV screen.
