Vivid digital video. Crystal-clear digital audio. Massive storage capacity for data and multimedia.
The world is moving to DVD technology, and you can catch the excitement with the Macintosh
PowerBook DVD-Video Kit.
Unlike consumer DVD players, this complete PowerBook-based solution retains your access
to current CDs while adding DVD-ROM and DVD-Video capability. So you can enjoy today’s
hottest movies as well as multimedia titles, educational materials, games, and your other
favorite discs.
The Macintosh PowerBook DVD-Video Kit contains a PowerBook G3 Series DVD-ROM
Expansion Bay Module, a Macintosh PowerBook DVD-Video PC Card, and Apple DVD Player
software. The DVD-ROM expansion bay module is an extremely versatile drive that can play
CD-ROMs, audio CDs, and other types of CDs in addition to DVD discs. The PC Card adds the
ability to play DVD movies (discs formatted to the DVD-Video specification). And the software
provides an intuitive interface for easily controlling DVD movies.
Because the DVD-Video Kit is designed especially for Macintosh PowerBook G3 Series
computers, you can enjoy the benefits of DVD and CD access wherever you are—such as on
long airplane flights. If you’re near a larger computer monitor or a TV, you can even view discs
on one of those devices instead of on the built-in PowerBook display. Similarly, you can listen
to movies on the stereo speakers built into your PowerBook, or connect the computer to an
external stereo or Dolby Pro Logic surround sound system for an enhanced audio experience.
A superior CD and DVD solution for every user
The Macintosh PowerBook DVD-Video Kit offers solid benefits for business, education, and
home users.
The huge capacity of DVD discs makes them ideal for distributing massive amounts of business-
related information. Comprehensive sales information including text, graphics, and videos of
products in action could be put on a DVD disc for use by mobile personnel, giving them instant
access to vital sales information wherever they are. For service and support organizations, a
single DVD disc could potentially contain all relevant manuals with animations and videos of
maintenance, diagnostic, and repair procedures. And because the Apple DVD drive can also
play CDs, you’ll retain access to your commercial and custom CD-based materials.
In education, the DVD-Video Kit will allow students and faculty to continue to enjoy CDs while
adding exciting new capabilities, such as putting an entire curriculum on a single disc.
