JPEG
JPEG is a compression format for the color
still images often used on the internet. The
images shot using this player are recorded in
JPEG format in the disc.
Linear PCM
Linear PCM is a digital, non-compressed
audio coding system. You can enjoy high-
quality sound equal to that of CDs by
recording in this mode.
Net MD
Net MD is a technical standard that allows
you to transfer audio data from a computer to
a MiniDisc using an USB cable. Previously,
it was impossible to record audio data from a
computer because the only source audio data
that could be recorded were analog signals
from a microphone and analog input or PCM
audio of music CDs. Using the software
(SonicStage, etc.) that meets the technology
of copyright protection (“OpenMG,”
“MagicGate,” etc.), the audio data format
can be converted to “ATRAC” or “ATRAC3,”
which makes it possible to then transfer the
audio data to a MiniDisc.
1) Copyright technology to manage audio data
stored in your computer from audio CDs
2) Technology to authenticate copyright protection
between computer and NetMD equipment
3) Conventional format to be transferred when
recording to MiniDisc
