Overview
Features
The DVO-1000MD is a DVD Recorder designed for use
with video equipment such as external equipment. The
DVO-1000MD compresses video signals sent from the
external equipment with an MPEG-2 format and audio
signals with Dolby Digital format (2CH), and records
video and audio signals on a DVD+RW disc.
The following are the principal features of the unit.
Rewritable DVD+RW
1)
disc as the
recording media
Since rewritable DVD+RW disc is used as a removable
disc, the disc is automatically finalized and discs
recorded with this unit can be played on other DVD+RW
players. Also, the unit searches for the first blank space
automatically and starts recording from that point. Thus,
it is not necessary to cue up and you can start recording
right after you insert the disc.
1) is a trademark.
High-quality and long recording
The unit employs VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recording
which varies the compressed rate of MPEG2
dynamically according to the images recorded, thereby
high-quality recording relative to recording time can be
realized. Also, you can select picture quality from
among three recording modes: HQ (about 60 minutes:
CBR (Constant Bit Rate)), SP (about 120 minutes:
VBR) and LP (about 180 minutes: VBR).
Recording indexes
You can mark indexes during recording or playback.
This allows you to search for the desired points instantly
during playback, and also to play a segment specified by
two points repeatedly.
High-quality audio recording
The Dolby Digital
1)
recording format allows you to
record high-quality audio sound simultaneously with the
video signals.
