(1.8 CEUs)
Who Should
Attend
This course
is designed for engineers, scientists, and technical management
personnel involved in the design specification, implementation,
management, or utilization of DVD systems, and others who wish to
acquire knowledge of DVD systems. The course should also be of
special interest to system integrators. Participants will be
provided with the technical and conceptual background required to
design and implement DVD systems. The content is practically
oriented, focusing on implementation of the technology.

Summary
Called
Digital Versatile Disc because of its ability to be used across a
number of applications areas - audio, video, computer, multimedia -
DVD can truly be called a convergence medium because it meets the
needs of both the consumer entertainment and computer industries.
DVD represents a quantum leap forward in digital media. Not only
does it offer business users many times more capacity than CD-ROM,
it also brings spectacular interactive audio and visual
entertainment to the home. DVD looks like a conventional CD, but
hidden in its structure is the capacity to hold up to 26 times more
information. DVD will run at a much faster data rate, enabling
stunning graphics, widescreen video, surround sound, interactivity,
multiple language subtitles; the list goes on.
Physical and
engineering principles used in the construction of DVD are
introduced. This course will review fundamentals of optical
recording techniques and present the state-of-the-art technology
integrated in optical data storage including: read only, recordable
- write once, and re-writable technologies. Participants will leave
with a solid understanding of how this exciting technology functions
- from the how the data is stored on the disc through how the
DVD-ROM drive recovers data, from the various standard formats used
in organizing the data to the computer interfaces, commands, and
drivers used to access the data and control the drive. The class
also covers the extension to the basic DVD-ROM technology: DVD-R,
DVD-RAM, etc. It concludes with a discussion of the opportunities
and obstacles, and future directions.
