DVD-V8000 |
Pioneer DVD-V7300, DVD-V7400
(NTSC)
and DVD-V8000
are
DVD players which could read DVD, CD, or LB-LVD disks.
The Pioneer DVD-V7X00-8000 Series MXM give a full control
to those DVD player devices. It provide the common DVD command
set and additionnal commands to manage the disk architecture
(Track, Title, Chapter) , the door and the audio / video
outputs and also control of sub-titles, audio chanels
(Language), aspect of video (geometric size)..
DVD recording (creation) considerations :
A DVD can have multiple titles which can contain mutiple
chapters. Each Titles have different time code starting
at zero. Time code is continuous in a title, even if it
contains several chapters. Therefore, if their is a need
for time code positionning, it's better to have DVD with
one Title, thus one time code. Pay attention, a DVD made
from several tapes will have several time code starting
point.
Synchronisation consideration :
In order to synchronize (frame accurate) two or more DVD-V7300D
operations are needed :
1) BLACK BURST generator must be connected to "EXT SYNC
IN" connector of the first DVD Player and daisy chained
up to the last DVD Player.
2) "EXTERNAL SYNC" in ADV.Setup menu need to be PAL (or
NTSC).
3) "AV SYNC COMPENSATE" in ADV.Setup menu need to be OFF.
4) "TC SYSTEM" connector need to be PAL (or NTSC) on the
rear panel.
