From Wikipedia
The TED system was more or less a predecessor of the more successful optical Philips Laserdisc video system, as the TED system employed the idea of using FM instead of AM for storing the video signal on a disc for the first time.
The TED video-disc player used a piezo-electric pick-up cartridge with a diamond stylus, mechanically sampling the frequency-modulated, PAL-encoded A/V-signal from thousands of concentric grooves, vertically recorded into the surface of a very thin, flexible vinyl disc. The disc was freely rotating on a thin cushion of air between the disc and a fixed plate at 1500rpm (25Hz), the disc being stabilized only by centrifugal force. The sampling frequency of the combined audio/video signal was about 2.7MHz. Maximum video playing time was 10 minutes on a 210 mm disc, amounting to about 15,000 concentric grooves on the disc, each storing two half-frame PAL-video-lines. |

Thank you for all of this Blockbuster Video show trailers of Blu-Ray movies on a 24 inch tele which don't don't do no justice I'm happy with my Sony Trinton Wide which I Step Brother gave to me free.
I know DVD's were hard to take off and hard to get the public attention as only a few films were avalible, prices were and DVD players were very expensive.
I remember my Dad getting DVD magazines and I looked throught it and it was £400 plus for a player our first DVD player cost £300 plus another £50 or so for the multi region chip.
But after a few years people liked the quality of a DVD than VHS people liked the extras on the disk then it took off with a boom you could get budget machines cheap movies, and safe on storage space.
The only thing is VHS has better sound than DVD. |
