Atwood","doi":"10.1002/msid.1538","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/msid.1538","url":null,"abstract":"<p><b>WHEN YOU HEAR THE TERM “DISCOVISION,” WHAT IMAGE COMES</b> to mind? Is it John Travolta in that iconic pose on the dance floor with twinkling lights all around? Or is it some kind of augmented reality experience popular with those who are in the know?</p><p>Approximately 45 years ago, it was the name for one of a few similar technologies developed to bring prerecorded video to consumers’ homes to watch on their TVs. Assuming a format similar to a long-play record, engineers searched for ways to create a disc that easily could be inserted in a player and deliver combined video and audio tracks on a television for home entertainment. Early work considered many different means, such as magnetic, capacitive, mechanical, or optical. In practice, optical became the leading contender because it was intrinsically safe to the media when played, and it could operate under a wide range of temperature and vibration conditions. No matter how many times you played that Disney video for the kids, the disc would never wear out. But it was not the only approach developed.</p><p>You are probably thinking, “Isn't this what CDs and DVDs are today?” Some of the technology—including the ability to retrieve data from the surface of a flat disc using lasers—is similar, but these discs were analog and stored their data as optical features in either transparent or reflective surfaces that were then assembled directly into lines and frames of video (plus synchronized audio) in real time. This was accomplished with limited memory and none of the modern digital image-processing techniques we take for granted today.</p><p>This was the technical focus of the May 1976 issue of <i>Information Display</i>.<span><sup>1</sup></span> In his article, Kent D. Broadbent explained the ins and outs of the new system that was later to be commercialized by the Music Corporation of America (MCA) in 1978 and became what Pioneer sold as the “LaserDisc.”<span><sup>2</sup></span> The technology was based on an invention for a transparent video disc in 1963 by David Paul Gregg and James Russell and later was co-developed by MCA and Philips in the 1970s.</p><p>One side of a typical 12-inch disc initially stored 20–30 minutes of content (this later increased to 60 minutes). One TV frame was recorded per revolution of the disc, which spun at a relatively high rate of ∼1,800 revolutions per minute (RPM) for NTSC video playback (the American analog TV standard). Multiple electronics manufacturers made players for these discs. The formats evolved over time using varying rotational speeds and introducing digital audio tracks.</p><p>A master disc was produced on a metallized glass substrate, and information was recorded onto it by selectively melting the metallic coating with a laser (<b>Fig</b>. 1).<span><sup>2</sup></span> Mass-producing copies involved a photoresist-based printing process that was somewhat expensive for a consumer product.</p><p>RCA developed a similar rotating disc concept usi","PeriodicalId":52450,"journal":{"name":"Information Display","volume":"40 6","pages":"40-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/msid.1538","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142641891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
