About Joe Kane"There is no question that Joe Kane is considered the father of the audio/video calibration tool, and we're proud to have been associated with each of his programs over the past 10 years," said David Goodman, President, DVD International. "This new version of Digital Video Essentials provides consumers with easy access to a multitude of calibration test patterns, which have become an increasingly important part of owning a High Definition home theater, as the High Definition industry grows and matures."
New video formats need test and demonstration materials as a benchmark for performance. The Digital Video Essentials HD DVD is a quality reference for what can be done in the HD DVD format. As Hollywood continues to offer some of the finest examples of high definition programming, consumers need to become educated as to HD's potential. Digital Video Essentials HD DVD is the ideal starting point.
Digital Video Essentials HD DVD combines both 720p and 1080p VC-1 encoded materials (the first time 720p has been used in HD DVD), and includes a 720p/60 demonstration. The VC-1 codec was chosen because it delivers the best looking pictures available in HD DVD. Critical test materials particular to 720p or 1080p were created in that domain and have not been converted. The program also includes extensive use of text files to drive the menu system, as well as test patterns such as Reverse Gray Ramps with Steps, Shallow Ramps and Colored Ramps which have been properly generated in HD. These test tracks can make the difference between an artificial-looking picture and poor sound and the amazing presentation quality and realism you can only get from an HD DVD.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This disc is a high-definition DVD and is compatible only with HD DVD players such as the Toshiba HDA2. The HD side will not play on a standard DVD player.
