Technology and Benefits
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 it’s 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 Microsoft’s Window Media) compress information to achieve file sizes that are less than half of the current standard DVD’s 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-XA1 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 HDTV’s maximum rate is 24Mbps.

High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
HDMI is the first industry-supported all digital Audio/video connection providing the transmission of uncompressed digital video and multi-channel audio on a single cable. When matched with a compatible HDTV, this single cable connection ensures that all signals remain in their pure digital form. The HD-XA1 will output HD content through the HDMI interface in the native format of the HD DVD disc content of either 720p or 1080i

Backward Compatibility
Enjoy backwards compatibility and play your collection of standard DVD’s on the player. In addition, via the HDMI interface, the standard definition DVD picture resolution can be upconverted to near HD quality, with output resolution of 720p or 1080i to match your HDTV’s 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-XA1 has built-in processors to handle the multi-channel decoders for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD (2 ch.), DTS and DTS-HD. 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 DSP’s are world renown for their high accuracy and are employed in many high quality audio solutions in the home theater market.
