Über dieses Buch

In March 1979, a prototype of a ‘Compact Disc (CD) digital audio system’ was publicly presented and demonstrated to an audience of about 300 journalists at Philips in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. This milestone effectively marked the beginning of the digital entertainment era. In the years to follow, the CD-audio system became an astonishing worldwide success, and was followed by successful derivatives such as CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, and recently Blu-ray Disc. Today, around the thirtieth anniversary of the milestone, it is taken for granted that media content is stored and distributed digitally, and the analog era seems long gone. This book retraces the origins of the CD system and the subsequent evolution of digital optical storage, with a focus on the contributions of Philips to this field. The book contains perspectives on the history and evolution of optical storage, along with reproductions of key technical contributions of Philips to the field.

Chapter 2. The Philips Prototype Of The CD System
Abstract
On March 8, 1979, a prototype of the Compact Disc (CD) digital audio system was presented at Philips in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, to an audience of about 300 journalists. The system was presented and demonstrated by J.P. Sinjou, the head of the Compact Disc laboratory of Philips’ main industry group Audio. The optical disc he showed had a diameter of 11.5 cm. The text of his presentation, together with the slides that he used, is reproduced in Sect. 2.2. Referring to this demonstration, R. Bernard noted in his paper (‘ Higher fi by digits’, IEEE Spectrum, pp. 28-32, Dec. 1979) that ”Demonstration systems have been impressive, and the total lack of background noise of any kind during pauses in musical passages is particularly dramatic” Since the prototype CD-player had such small dimensions, the engineers of the Compact Disc laboratory named it ‘Pinkeltje’ after a tiny dwarf who plays the central role in a Dutch fairy tale book. The text by J.P. Sinjou is followed by three papers that describe various subsystems used in the prototype player.

Chapter 3. The CD System as Standardized by Philips and Sony
Abstract
It should be stressed that this introduction does not intend to mention and recognize all people within Philips and Sony who contributed to establish the CD digital audio system standard in 1980. This standard is based on the collaborative work of many persons, both from Philips and from Sony, and it would be impossible to properly acknowledge all these individuals in the space of only a few pages. More information on the persons involved can be found in the doctoral thesis (in German) by Jürgen Lang (“Das Compact Disc Digital Audio System”, 1996, RWTH, Aachen, ISBN 3-00-001052-1) introduction only aims at describing some important decisions that were made between the successful demonstration of the CD prototype on March 8, 1979, and the establishment of the Philips-Sony CD standard in June 1980.

Chapter 6. BLU-RAY DISC
Abstract
In the two decades that followed the initial CD-press conference in 1979, the optical storage industry had grown up. A complete family of CD formats has been defined and developed. There were read-only, write once and rewritable discs on the market. The price of these discs had gradually come down to very affordable levels. Many suppliers offered popular optical disc drives. The CD family was well know, all over the world, and very successful
