Blu-Ray, DVD and Multi-Region, Code Free, Region Free Variations and Super-Human Vision
It is quite complicated when trying to differences between the broadcast and video systems to describe, so let us stick to these video systems found in VCRs, camcorders, DVD and Blu-ray Disc players, etc.
These are the basic standards and none are compatible with each other. Sometimes the A / C Hertz are 50 MHz (220 volt countries) and sometimes 60MHz (110 volt countries) and this changes the results of a scanning electron tube, LSD or Plasma etc. 60MHz used in the U.S.For example, allowing a more regular, almost no perceptible flicker. With line doubling and quad-double (100 and 220 and then 200 MHz and 440 MHz).
Line Doubling actually interlace image in a single scan, which shows the entire frame and doubled again increased scan lines, even finer resolution and a better sense of reality to the human eye allows. Technically, the original two-field frame and make a progressive scan (non-interlaced oneframe) output. It gives a higher resolution image, both lighter and softer.
Some 3rd Party Line quadruple can upscale resolutions: 1365×1024, 720P, 1080i 852×480, 1024×1024, 1024×768 and 1365×768 and higher. When the latest technology in video hits NHK world we see images of more than 6000 lines, compared to the maximum of 1080P today.
If they start to quadruple image as a rule that who knows what the mind can achieve if connecteddirectly into the motherboard in the future. Perhaps an expansion and strengthening of the human eye will be needed in the order of 1000 eyes, 360-degree views of both the lateral and longitudinal 100,000,000 lines of resolution much higher than the current human capacity.
Back to the PAL-NTSC in a moment.
These multiple video systems were created because of incompatible electrical standards such as Hertz, because of economic needs and even political motives (eg, one country does nottelevision are to be seen by citizens of other countries in the area that they can not get "ideas"!
With the advent of DVD players with Hollywood producers have decided to take advantage of the new electronic possibilities inherent in this new breakthrough technology to better market their films.
With movies available in VHS VCR tape versions, but at 5-6 and various non-competitive systems, the introduction of films in the world can be divided in accordance with good practice of marketing, so wear so much profitpossible from each country. A film released in April in the U.S. do not have to be released until the appropriate time in South America, and the idea that people in Argentina (PAL-N), which wants to buy the film from an American dealer was almost a useless level if Argentina would no VCR and no TV in the right system to play and show photos. N-PAL and NTSC simply not appear correctly on the wrong systems, although the recording and playback speeds are different. That means an NTSCThe film is viewed on a PAL or other standard would normally be in black and white, have terrible problems scrolling vertically, has a horizontal angle to the top of the image, and is in the wrong speed, so even the vote was too fast or too slow. It is a mess!
Until the Japanese VCR (and at one point even Sony BETA) makers came out with a Multi System VCR!
Most could only play tapes of different standards, but to show, you also need a TV that is as good Multisystem, TV or 2, oreven 3 of every being a good system, you were the output of the VCR.
For around the need to purchase a Multi System TV came with the Panasonic AG-W1 incredible model, which had a built in digital converter, which can play, record and convert to / from all five existing global systems. It was $ 4000, but was a great unit with good results, but not for broadcasting purposes.
Many people got around to buying AGW-1 (and subsequent offspring and AGW-2AGW-3) by purchasing a planet Omni Tenlab digital systems into a fraction of the cost of the AGW-1 and used with a Multi System VCR. In this way the image quality is the same or better and the price and the consumer.
Aiwa quickly came to the much cheaper conversion MX-1 Multi System VCR, there was a digital format, analog conversion method used but much poorer, as Samsung, GoVideo and a few others. Samsung was the actual manufacturer of PanasonicAGW-1 and 2, and under their own brand, they came out with a wide range of models such as SV-3000W, SV-5000S, SW-7000W (with the unique French SECAM-L tuner built in).
Planet Omni has a number of Panasonic, Samsung, Aiwa and back-up for sale. None has been done in 2-3 years and the death of the VCR will never happen. People around the world consider them old movies transferred to DVD discs, which can also convert from PAL to NTSC or NTSC toPAL. All countries use a system, but these two will find that their bond can be converted to PAL and perfectly displayed on their television, although television is not strictly PAL.
People in a NTSC country can use to convert services, such as Planet Omni's and tapes or DVDs to convert PAL to NTSC or visa versa, instead of buying PAL-NTSC DVD recorders (which exists) and a TENLAB converter.
When Hollywood producers were quite OK with incompatible VHS video standards in the worldIt was a new problem with DVD movies.
Like all countries are PAL-SECAM countries on their TV Multisystem go, and same for PAL-M (Brazil) and PAL-N (Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay) countries, this meant that DVD movies only had to be both NTSC or PAL and can be seen all over the world.
It was not very good for Hollywood filmmakers, however, as too many countries would buy the discs from another country and watch movies directly from their first release on discsometimes even preceded the movie official theatrical release in cinemas. This meant that a citizen in a PAL country like Italy a new film from New Zealand (PAL) can source and buy movies (with subtitles if necessary), perhaps months before the film was actually released theatrically or on DVD in Italy . This infringement on the natural markets of established theater owners and distributors in Italy.
Generally, as a European country, a film on DVD is also available atsame time in other euro countries, but not always. But as an English speaking person in Australia will be able to buy movies from a British source and view in English on his PAL TV.
Again, not very good for businessmen and bean counters.
So a new technology is embedded in every Hollywood film to various countries in the world. This is called regional coding.
They divided the world, as well as they could in 6 regions based on the movie releaseprotocols.
These regional codes embedded in both DVD players and DVD movie discs too.
6 regions, 2 video standards (PAL-NTSC) to one another and quite complex.
For example, Europe is PAL and Region 2, but Japan is NTSC REGION 2 yet!
This means that a Japanese DVD will play on a Japanese DVD player fine, but even though Region 2, will not play on a European PAL TV even though you've taken from the Japanese DVD player for Europe, increased tension 100Vto 240V and tried to play. The disc will run, the player will play, but TV can not see … UNLESS TV was also an NTSC multi-system TV.
So how about this video standards and regional codes?
The invention of an area, DVD player (also known as code free, code free, region free, all zones, universal, all regions, etc.). But it is against the law, and how can this be done? What does it mean?
From the license agreement, no manufacturer of DVD players allowedcreating a region free player. Each must be set to a specific region. They both PAL-NTSC, but the regional code must be specific to a particular region. USA Region 1 … and here they all are:
Region codes and countries
Region code Area
0 Informal term meaning "world". Region 0 is not an official body, discs bearing the region 0 symbol have no flag set or have region 1.6 flags set.
1 Bermuda, Canada, Cayman Islands, the U.S. and the U.S.Areas
2 The European Union, Albania, Andorra, Bahrain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Egypt, Faroe Islands, French Guiana, Georgia, Greenland, Guernsey, Iceland, Iran, Iraq, Isle of Man, Israel, Japan, Jersey, Jordan, Kosovo , Kuwait, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liechtenstein, Macedonia, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Norway, Oman, Qatar, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, South Africa, Swaziland, Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Vatican City, Yemen
3 Southeast Asia,Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, Taiwan
4 Caribbean, Central America, Oceania, South America (except French Guiana), Mexico
5 African countries not explicitly included in other regions, Indian subcontinent, countries included in the former Soviet Union, Belarus, Mongolia, North Korea
6 People's Republic of China (except Macau and Hong Kong)
7 Reserved for future use (found in use on protected screener copies of MPAA-related DVDs and "media copies" of the pre-release inAsia)
8 International venues such as airplanes, cruise ships, etc. [1]
All Region ALL discs have all 8 sets of flags, so the disc can be played on a location on one player.
All Region ALL discs have all 8 sets of flags, so the disc can be played on a location on one player.
So it is against the law to change a DVD player and make the free code?
No, it is not. Many places like PLANET OMNI has sold them for years. The quality of changerarely varies, but is generally a perfect mod, so any and all DVD movies will play, but you need a PAL-NTSC TV or a video standards converter for both PAL and NTSC DVDs look.
Remember that a DVD movie is NOT a DVD-R or DVD + R disc, but it may be a film that is recorded.
Most code free DVD players will play most DVD-R & DVD-RW, DVD + R & DVD + RW discs homemade.
99% also play regular CDs play music, games and many many other formats such asas MP3, WMA, DVD-Video, Video CD, DVD-Audio, SACD, CD, audio CD-R & CD-RW, WMA, JPEG and JPEG and JPEG and Kodak.
Then one region DVD players play all regions and both PAL and NTSC discs, IE all known types of DVD movies on earth, but what if you do not have a PAL-NTSC TV or a video standards converter?
Besides the fact that you can buy these items, there is also a transformation of the region free DVD players.
Some can convert a PAL DVD movies to NTSC and some can do both this andconverter, an American NTSC disc to PAL.
And some can do both, but if you ever need a PAL-NTSC TV you can turn off the switch and then to see everything, all DVD movies from any country in any standards on any TV in the original image quality. Again, on-line stores such as Planet Omni perform this kind.
This code free, players can convert even the most advanced equipment with the latest bells and whistles probably STEREO things like DTS, Dolby Digital, HDMI andDVI output, stereo 5.1 and higher output, Progressive scan, and so on.
But let us now what it means to Blu-ray Disc players that are multi-region.
Since HD DVD is dead as a Hi-Def format, we believe that Blu-Ray Disc players and movies on Blu-ray discs are here to stay until the next leap in the future our hits could happen around 2012 with the introduction of the latest 6000 Super-Line Hi-Definition TV, about 6 x more realistic 3D view and thenBlu-Ray and 1080p technology.
As with DVD region Blu-Ray discs and players also have areas known as Regions A, B and C.
These are non-compatible region, under PAL-SECAM-NTSC and other systems.
The beauty of a region or B Blu-ray disc player in a multi-region Blu-ray Disc player via HDMI output (which is a cable that all video and audio signals combined) is that television is not to PAL -NTSC / SECAM or anything specific at all. While television has aHDMI input all Blu-ray Disc movies from Regions A and B will play in their full splendor, and depending on the maximum resolution possible for each TV in the highest possible quality. PAL and NTSC do not exist in the HDMI world, problems with Hertz, government control and so on, Gone with the Wind!
There are still regions A, B and C.
Hollywood production companies for these 3 regions are still important, but not as fast as they were.
Know that a Blu-Ray Discfilm output through the regular component, composite or S-video (A / V RCA cables) still reward the correct standard to PAL movies for NTSC and PAL-drive watch an NTSC disc. But on TV there are no fields, so any PAL-NTSC TV can display any NTSC or PAL DVD.
In the case of the Sony BDP-S300 multi-region version now available (110 volt version) you can pop in all Blu-ray Disc movies from A-and B-countries is shown below and on any TV with an HDMI input, You can see record oflibrary.
Sony BDP-S300 multi-region player is highlyrated by many, including evaluations: "I am happy with my Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray player. It has excellent audio and visual definition. Crystalline clarity of 1080p Blu – ray Disc movies and DVD upscaling brings your DVDs to the highest resolution possible. Buy this product and you will not be disappointed. "
Blu-Ray Disc Regions are shown:
A / North America, Central America, South America,Japan, Taiwan, North Korea, South Korea, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
B / Europe, Greenland, French territories, Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand, plus all of Oceania.
C / India, Bangladesh, Nepal, China, Pakistan, Russia, Central and South Asia.
Future of Blu-ray Disc technology type?
In January 2007, Hitachi displayed a 100 GB Blu-ray disc, which has four layers of 25GB each. Unlike TDK and Panasonic's 100 GB drives, the Hitachi claimsThis disc is readable on standard Blu-ray disc drive a firmware update is only required to read the current players and drives.
Many other variations and repetitions of Blu-Ray appears environment, including new concepts such as BD9 / BD5 Blu-ray Disc, AVCREC, Blu-ray Disc Recordable, HD-DVD / Blu-ray Disc hybrid discs, HD-VMD / Versatile Multilayer Disc (new low-profile competitor) AVCHD, Digital Multilayer Disk – the successor technology to Fluorescent MultilayerDisk, the Enhanced Versatile Disc (EVD), are Forward Versatile Disc (FVD) – Taiwanese-backed red laser format, Fluorescent Multilayer Disc Holographic Versatile Disc – standards with 200 and 300 GB of storage capacity is developed 3D optical data storage – a next – generation technology is expected to provide TB capacity disks, Protein-coated disc, Tapestry Media, Ultra Density Optical LS-R – a "layer selection" technology makes it possible to stack in a very large number of DVD-like layers in a single disc,Professional Disc for DATA (PDD or Prodata) and much more.
Will there still are regions? Who knows, but there will always be a better genius for overcoming them.
