The Panasonic
DMR-E20 DVD recorder : A Next-Generation Video Recorder
- Having been
deeply involved with the development of the DVD-RAM format, Panasonic
is now scheduled to release a new DVD Recorder that can record on both
DVD-RAM discs and DVD-R discs. Capable of high-speed data transmission
and high-speed random access, this recorder offers countless recording
and playback possibilities. Along with easy operation and the storage
convenience of discs, DVD-RAM boasts PC compatibility for expanded playback
versatility.
Time Slip Playback
- This innovative
feature lets you view a program that you're currently recording on the
Panasonic DMRE20 from any point that's already been recorded, while continuing
to record the live program in progress. So, you no longer have to wait
for the entire program to be recorded before watching it from beginning
to end.
Simultaneous Recording
and Playback
- Because data
transfer is at a super-fast rate of 22.16Mbps, simultaneous recording
and playback are possible with the DMR-E20. So, you can record a live
TV program while watching any other program that's been previously recorded
on the same disc!
Video Recording
to DVD-R Discs
- The Panasonic
DMR-E20 DVD Video Recorder can also record onto DVD-R discs, so you can
enjoy playback of these recordings on most conventional DVD players
- This feature
makes it easy to find a desired program on a heavily used disc. A list
of recording dates, times, channels and (user-entered) titles are shown
on screen. When you move the cursor to any particular recording, the segment
is played in the background, so playback can begin immediately upon selection.
Program deletion, protection, and title input are also easy to perform.
Up to 99 programs can be handled at once.
Rapid Random Access
- Say goodbye
to the rewind/fastforward shuffle. Unlike videotapes, DVD-RAM discs let
you jump directly to any spot on a disc and begin playback or recording
right away. Even if there is no sequential area of empty space available,
our DMR-E20 DVD Video Recorder can record data on the available space
throughout the rest of the disc. There's no more wasted time finding a
place to start recording, or the problem of accidentally recording over
desired material.
DVD-RAM Compatibility
with PC Applications
- The DVD-RAM
disc format is supported by major hardware and media manufacturers, and
is thus hailed as the new "bridge format" for compatibility
with audio/video and personal computing applications. You can take your
DVD-RAM disc out of its protective cartridge, and play it back on a PC
equipped with a 4.7GB /9.4GB DVD-RAM drive or DVD-ROM drive that's compatible
with 4.7GB /9.4 GB DVD-RAM. With the proper software, you can also use
your PC to edit your DVD-RAM recordings. And, since the discs we use are
DVD-RAM, you can use them to backup your computer data, as well. Thanks
to DVD-RAM, you can record, store, and play back secure data in more ways
than ever before.
Advanced MPEG2
Encoding Using Hybrid VBR Technology
- We combined
two encoding technologies, Real time VBR (Variable Bit Rate) and Visibility
Modulation Technology, to provide MPEG2 recording with superb picture
quality. Here's how it works: Real Time VBR
adjusts the bit rate according to video signal
complexity, in order to optimize the compression
ratio. At the same time, Visibility Modulation
Technology reduces compression for the most
noticeable parts of each signal while it filters out
unimportant data to raise compression in other
areas.
