TECHNOLOGY & BENEFITS
VIDEO
>> Multi-Drive Recorder - This DVD recorder is designed to
provide the greatest flexibility in recording and playback by
supporting DVD-RAM, DVD-R, and DVD-RW* recordable disc
formats. The right format for every application:
· DVD-RAM is the most flexible of the recordable disc formats
when it comes to recording, editing and playback. Even more,
re-record content approximately 100,000 times!
· DVD-R is a write-once format perfect for sharing treasured video
moments with virtually anyone who has a DVD-Video player.
· DVD-RW* can rewrite content up to 1000 times and playback in a
wide variety of computer drives and DVD-Video players
>> ColorStream Pro®Component Video Outputs - These outputs
allow the highest quality video signal to be sent from the DVD
player to a component video equipped progressive scan TV. When
this connection is utilized with today's HD-compatible sets, typical
NTSC artifacts-like video noise, dot crawl, and flicker-are virtually
eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with
unequaled color purity.
>> Digital Cinema Progressive (3/2 Pulldown) - Delivers the
smoothest, most film-like images to any progressive scan television,
such as an HD-compatible one, and ensures maximum resolution.
>> Auto Title/Chapter/Thumbnail Creation (DVD-RAM) - Recorded
content remains easy to find with the help of a menu that will be
automatically created when you record. It displays the date and
channel you recorded, along with a thumbnail of your recording by
capturing the first video frame of the recording. The date and
channel can be change to any 64-character title and the thumbnails
to any image within the recording. Chapters within the recording
can also be created by either predetermined intervals, or by the
user selecting specific points within the recording. These chapters
can also, be named and assigned a specific thumbnail from any
video frame within the chapter.
AUDIO
>> WMA & MP3 Playback - Play Recordable Compact Discs (CD-R &
CD-RW) with music stored in either the Windows Media™ Audio or
MP3 file formats can be enjoyed..
CONVENIENCE
>> EASY NAVI Menu - An entry menu portal that provides quick and
easy access to key features of the DVD recorder, such as Timer
Recording or DV Capture. Additionally the EASY Navi displays a
"live action window", providing feedback to the user on the current
status of the recorder, whether it is recording a program, in the
Time Slip mode, or playing back content with DVD-RAM.
>> Chase Play & Live Chase Play (Pause Live TV) - Chase Play
allows the user to begin watching a recording that is already in
progress. The Live Chase Play feature lets you 'pause' a live
recording and then return to it later. During playback of both modes,
a bar graph can be displayed on-screen depicting the 'progress' or
location of the playback signal with regards to the real time
recorded signal.
>> 5 Recording modes - Preset audio and video settings provides
simplicity in selecting the recording bit rate and allow users to
maximize disc space based on the content to be recorded. (1hr,
2hr, 3hr, 4hr, and 6hr)
>> Front Panel A/V & S-Video - There are composite audio & video
inputs, as well as RCA L/R inputs on the front panel of the unit for
easy camcorder dubbing. As well, an S-Video input is also available
on the front panel for interfacing components with this available
video output.
