use red laser, allows for smaller tracks;
pitch meaning more data can be fit in the same surface area,
capacity 4.7 GB, data rate is variable

2 chanel pcm
audio- 16 bit 96khz
only supports 48 and 96k, not 44.1 or 88.2
-dolby digital ac-3 soundtrack containing 1 to 1.5 channesl up to 44.8 kbps bit rate
optionally can contain DTS sumend up to 1.4 mbps

| meridian lossless packing (mlp) |
|
Definition
|
an optional lossless data compression must be used for 24 bit/96khz 5.1 can be used to increase playing time or other formats (roughly 2.1 compression)
7mbps with MLP=420mb per min or 52 MB per minute.
(90 minute playing time)

dvd based created by sony/phillips as a proposal for dvd-audio
stereo for 5.1 usually single layer and cd layer hybrid;
contains no video content at all, not even menus. encoded in direct streams digital or DSD, direct recording of the output of sigma delta modulation converter
-1 bit sampling at 1.8mhz
-sigma/delta modulation converter

|
process of using reflected light to read data off a surface usually a disk
-not limited to digital data only
-refelcted light from the source returns at varying intensity due to changes in the surface. these different intensities are converted to a varying voltage.

two different light intensities are needed.

determines the data rate bandwidth. smaller wavelenght lasers can focus on a smaller area allowing data to be closer together on the disc.

width of the track of data running spirally from the center out. standard 1.6 micrometers
|

|
Term
|
Definition
|
how fast the track passes over the laser as if the track were in a straight line
|
|
|
Term
| constant linear velocity (clv) |
|
Definition
|
the linear velocity remains constant throughout the entire disc to accomplish this the disc needs to spin slower when the laser is reading the outer edge

|
are stamped mechanically so the data track is physically created in a material

Term
| recordable/rewriteable discs |
|
Definition
|
data is contained in a layer of material that can be altered by applying a laser to it creating two different reflections mimicing pits/lands

Term
| magneto optical storage minidiscs |
|
Definition
|
combines laser and magnetic recording, level of mag. field needed to change a mag. medium is temporary dependent. a material only magnetically coered at high tempurature is placed in the constant mag field. a laser is used to raise the temp. of a small area in the medium until it reaches the temp. where it can be magnetically altered. accidental erasure nearly impossible . can hold more data than magnetic medium
