Disc Formats
Kodak has applied the core technology of its Kodak Photo CD system to a
variety of disc formats for specialized applications. Any disc carrying
the Photo CD logo, including a mass-replicated disc made by a licensed
manufacturer, can be played on a Photo CD player, a Philips CD-I player,
or, with appropriate software, a compatible CD-ROM drive.
*Kodak Photo CD Master
Designed for 35 mm consumer photography, the original Kodak Photo CD
Master disc can hold about 100 high-resolution images, or four 24-
exposure rolls of film. The discs offer image resolution as high as
2048 x 3072 pixels-16 times as great as today's TV standards, and four
times the standards currently being considered for HDTV. The Kodak
Photo CD Master disc can also function as a "digital negative," which
means consumers can take the disc to a photofinisher to have prints
made.
*Kodak Pro Photo CD Master
Professional photographers use the Kodak Pro Photo CD Master disc.
These discs store images from the larger film formats favored by
professionals, including 120, 70 mm, and 4 x 5-inch, as well as 35 mm.
Depending on the film format, the discs can hold from 25 to 100 images.
*Kodak Photo CD Portfolio
Designed to become a major publishing medium, the Kodak Photo CD
Portfolio disc lets people create discs that contain combinations of
photographic images, stereo audio, graphics, text, and programmed
access. Applications include publishing of consumer "picture stories"
(such as wedding discs or family trees), business presentations, or
commercial titles. Image professionals also will use the format to make
custom Photo CD discs with copied or edited Photo CD images. Because
the highest resolutions are not required on this format, users have more
space available for other content, such as audio and graphics.
*Kodak Photo CD Catalog
The Kodak Photo CD Catalog format is designed for organizations that
want to store large numbers of images on a disc and distribute these
images widely-such as mail-order retailers, tourism associations, or art
galleries. As many as 6,000 images can be stored at video resolution on
Kodak Photo CD Catalog discs for soft display on TV sets or computer
monitors. (The images are of lower resolution than standard Kodak Photo
CD Master discs or Kodak Pro Photo CD Master discs and can't be used to
make photo-quality prints.)
