Toshiba Consumer (TV/DVD/etc) HD DVD Player
HD DVD Player. Features built-in multi-channel decoders for Dolby
Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD (2 channel), DTS and DTS-HD.
MODEL- HD-A1 VENDOR- TOSHIBA CONSUMER
FEATURES- HD DVD Player
The HD-A1 HD DVD player delivers outstanding resolution, bright,
vivid colors and stunning sound from the next generation DVD
standard adopted by the DVD forum. The HD-A1 is backwards
compatible with standard DVDs and allows you to enjoy your existing
collection of DVDs.
The HD-A1 offers Video Up-conversion via the HDMI interface which
scales the standard DVD video to output resolution of 720p or
1080i, matching the output to the resolution of your HDTV. And
with the built in multi-channel decoders for Dolby Digital, Dolby
Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD (2 channel), DTS and DTS-HD, the HD-A1
will bring improved fidelity and sonic realism to your DVD movie
soundtracks.

- HD DVD Playback
High Definition video requires a tremendous amount of space on a
disc, thus a new Blue laser (versus a Red Laser for DVD) is utilized
for HD DVD. The blue laser, with its shorter wave length, allows for
information to be stored more densely on the disc, thus improving
storage capacity by about over 3 times compared to that of a red
laser technology. Additionally, more accurate and efficient video
compression like MPEG-4 AVC and VC-1 (based on Microsofts Windows
Media) compress information to achieve file sizes that are less than
half of those of the current standard DVDs MPEG2.
- High Performance Disc Drive
HD DVD not only provides a deliverable HD media format to the home,
but does so with the potential of greater performance than you have
experienced with HDTV. The HD-A1 disc drive has an astounding
36.55Mbps transfer rate. To put that in perspective, standard DVD has
an average bit rate of less than 10Mbps and HDTVs maximum rate is
24Mbps.
- Backward Compatibility
Enjoy backwards compatibility and play your collection of standard
DVDs on the player. In addition, via the HDMI interface, the HD-A1
scales the standard definition DVD output to a resolution of 720p or
1080i to match your HDTVs performance. Not only does this output the
video in HD standard resolutions, but because the conversion takes
place in the player, the signal remains free from excessive digital-
to-analog conversion artifacts.
- Built-in Multi-Channel Decoders
The HD-A1 has built-in processors to handle the multi-channel
decoders for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD (2 ch),
DTS and DTSHD. It employs the use of four DSPs to decode the multi-
channel streams of the wide array of audio formats. These 32-bit
floating-point DSPs are world renown for their high accuracy and are
employed in many high quality audio solutions in the home theater
market.
- 11-bit/216MHz Video Dac

Dolby TrueHD
 
 
Dolby® TrueHD is Dolby’s next-generation lossless technology developed
for high-definition disc-based media. Dolby TrueHD delivers
tantalizing sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master,
unlocking the true high-definition entertainment experience on
next-generation discs. When coupled with high-definition video, Dolby
TrueHD offers an unprecedented home theater experience that lets you
enjoy sound as stunning as the high-definition picture.
Features
    * 100 percent lossless coding technology.
    * Up to 18 Mbps bit rate.
    * Supports up to eight full-range channels of 24-bit/96 kHz
audio.*
    * Supported by High-Definition Media Interface (HDMI™), the new
single-cable digital connection for audio and video.
    * Supports extensive metadata including dialogue normalization and
dynamic range control.
*Dolby TrueHD can support more than eight audio channels. HD DVD and
Blu-ray Disc standards currently limit their maximum number of audio
channels to eight.

With Dolby TrueHD, dedicated audiophiles as well as casual home
theater viewers will experience uncompromised audio performance that
is bit-for-bit equivalent to the highest-resolution studio masters.
Dolby TrueHD is truly high-definition audio, complementing the
high-definition picture from both the HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc formats.
Dolby TrueHD technology is an essential component in next-generation
A/V equipment, and it also brings powerful new sonic benefits to both
new and legacy home theater systems, something no other audio format
can achieve. Dolby TrueHD allows owners of current A/V receivers
equipped with Dolby Digital decoding to experience a significant
improvement in audio performance when they connect their receivers to
a next-generation optical player that supports Dolby Digital 640 kbps
output. Consumers who own a receiver equipped with multichannel analog
inputs will be able to experience the superb audio quality of Dolby
TrueHD, coupled with the expanded capability for full 7.1 discrete
channel playback. For the ultimate Dolby TrueHD experience, consumers
who recently purchased the latest A/V receivers with HDMI(TM) inputs
can experience lossless 7.1-channel playback via a pure digital
connection.

Sony has already specified that all Sony/MGM BD releases will in fact
contain multichannel uncompressed linear PCM soundtracks. The best
digital sound I have ever heard in a movie theater, by several orders
of magnitude, is discrete multichannel uncompressed linear PCM (I
heard this in an early digital projection presentation, played back
from hard drive.) The sound had seemingly limitless dynamics, and yet
was full-bodied and entirely effortless. There was striking clarity,
and yet no hint of glare or brightness. Having this kind of sound at
home will undoubtedly improve the sound of both movie soundtracks and
music videos/concerts dramatically.406hdfeature.last.jpegIn addition
to uncompressed PCM, Dolby and DTS will be doing what they best,
licensing a variety of new surround sound flavors to take advantage of
the bigger bit buckets of the new formats. These will begin with lossy
formats that aren't as highly compressed as current DTS and Dolby
Digital, and both companies will offer "lossless"codecs with bit for
bit reconstruction of the original signal.

With all these great features, and support in both HD-DVD and Blu-ray,
who really needs SACD or DVD-Audio anymore? Neither have really gained
any traction. I think more Blu-ray players will be sold in the first
year than all previous SACD or DVD-Audio players combined. So if a
record company wants to put out a hi fidelity version of their music,
why not just release a BD-ROM?

Universal Music Group, one of the world's largest music companies, on
Tuesday said it planned to back Sony's next-generation DVDs, firing
another salvo in the next-generation media format wars.

The HD DVD and Blu-ray specs call for an audio-only carrier. HD DVD
can store eight channels of linear PCM digital audio with sampling
rates up to 96kHz and word length of up to 24 bits. Blu-ray can store
eight channels with sampling rates up to 192kHz and 24-bits. (HD DVD
can store digital audio at 192kHz, but not in all channels
simultaneously.) Blu-ray has a somewhat higher transfer rate, which
enables the higher sampling frequency.
Although we have a high-res music carrier, it remains to be seen
whether the music industry will release titles in these formats. The
public has shown that they will accept highly compressed MP3 files.
The music industry could be waiting to see what happens in the format
war between HD DVD and Blu-ray before making a move.

MA cosa fa' pioneer?
    Will it play my old stuff?Almost all of the media we buy today
comes on some form of 5-inch optical disc, so it's natural to assume
that any machine which can handle the latest and greatest developments
can also play the discs we already own. Unfortunately, it looks as if
Pioneer has forgotten this with its first Blu-ray disc player the
BDP-HD1, as it doesn't support the granddaddy of all 5-inch formats,
regular music CDs. Having amassed an impressive library of music or
movies at considerable expense, consumers get understandably annoyed
at the thought of having to buy it all again in some new fancy format.
Yes, we know that progress often requires a radically different way of
doing things, making backwards compatibility difficult at best. But if
Fisher could offer a CD changer that doubled as a turntable for LPs in
the late '80s, surely today's manufacturers could find a way to make a
player that's compatible with both Blu-ray and CD. Now admittedly, the
BDP-HD1 is a premium $1,800 machine aimed squarely at early adopters,
but the precedent it sets is a bit frightening.
