The Yellow Book was published in 1985 by Philips and Sony, two international electronics companies which own the patents to compact disc technology, to define the standard for recording computer data on compact discs The first commercial compact discs were developed in 1979 by the electronics companies North American Philips Corporation and Sony in Japan (Joint Licensing agreements). www.computermuseum.li /Testpage/01HISTORYCD-Glossary.htm   (1388 words)

Disk Whatever their heritage, in computer jargon today it is common for the k-spelling to refer mainly to magnetic storage devices, while the c-spelling is customary for optical media such as the compact disc and similar technologies. In the 19th century, disc became the conventional spelling for audio recordings made on a flat plate, such as the analogue disc record; this usage gave rise to the modern term disc jockey. An analogue disc record is a gramophone or phonograph recording medium, usually consisting of a long spiral groove in a vinyl or lacquer platter. www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/d/di/disk.html   (425 words)

Magneto-optical drive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A magneto-optical drive is a kind of optical disc drive capable of writing and rewriting data upon magneto-optical discs. No laser or heating was involved; a simple infrared LED was used to follow the optical tracks, while a magnetic head touched the recording surface. Magneto-optical drives should not be confused with Floptical drives, which likewise combine ferromagnetic and optical technologies, albeit in a different manner. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Magneto-optical_drive   (802 words)

Notes on the Troubleshooting and Repair of Compact Disc Players and CDROM Drives The transformation of CD players and CDROMs from laboratory curiosities to the economical household appliances that have revolutionized the musical recording industry and have made possible multimedia computing depend on the availability of two technologies: low power low cost solid state laser diodes and mass produced large scale integrated circuits. However, it should be understood that in most cases, the information applies to CDROM drives, game machines using CDs like the Sony Playstation, laserdisc players, MiniDisk players/recorders, DVD players, and other types of optical disk systems. Modern CDROM drives with specs that sound too good to be true (and are) may run at constant angular speed achieving their claimed transfer rate only for data near the outer edge of the disc. www.repairfaq.org /sam/cdfaq.htm   (20668 words)

PostIndustry - The Daily Post-Production Resource "Speaking of the XDCAM Optical Disc system, it also transforms the workflow of video production with powerful networking technologies," said John Scarcella, president of Sony's electronics broadcast and production systems division at Sony's InfoComm press conference in June 2004. XDCAM's technology is not simple-stable optical disk recording, high- and low-resolution proxy video, thumbnail markers, and MXF wrappers are not the easiest things in the world to get right all in the same box. According to McKelvey, one of the basic benefits of XDCAM is the size of the optical disc. www.uemedia.net /CPC/postindustry/article_10138.shtml   (20668 words)

BROADCASTPAPERS.COM When Panasonic set out to develop the next-generation digital newsgathering system, we reviewed all the current and emerging technologies such as tape, hard disk, optical disc and solid-state memory. While the Blu-ray disk's write data transfer rate is certainly fast enough to record DV compression at 25Mpbs in real time, it appears that a significant drawback would be that studio-quality 50Mpbs data rate recording cannot be accomplished on a consumer-specification Blue-ray disk. At least one, perhaps two, additional blue laser-based disk recording formats would need to be developed to record higher quality SD and HD video onto disks. www.broadcastpapers.com /news/PanasonicSSM01.htm   (720 words)

EE Times -China's EVD spec enters digital video fray The Enhanced Versatile Disc (EVD), designed to offer high-definition content on optical disks using a red-laser pickup, becomes the presumptive standard for recording and playback of digital video, audio and data within the People's Republic. The academy has been working on compression technologies for more than five years, but few details have emerged. But Hao Jie, president of a consortium of Chinese OEMs and government agencies that promotes high-definition digital optical disks in China, made it clear to EE Times that On2's technology is "an alternative option." Hao, whose organization is called E-World, said On2 support is provided for manufacturers that require compatibility with On2's VP5 and VP6. www.eetimes.com /sys/news/OEG20031124S0056   (530 words)

Howstuffworks "How Holographic Memory Will Work" In order to increase storage capabilities, scientists are now working on a new optical storage method, called holographic memory, that will go beneath the surface and use the volume of the recording medium for storage, instead of only the surface area. Compact discs revolutionized data storage in the early 1980s, allowing multi-megabytes of data to be stored on a disc that has a diameter of a mere 12 centimeters and a thickness of about 1.2 millimeters. These conventional storage mediums meet today's storage needs, but storage technologies have to evolve to keep pace with increasing consumer demand. www.howstuffworks.com /holographic-memory.htm   (530 words)
