DOUBLE-SIDED, HYBRID OPTICAL DATA CARRIER IN DISK FORMAT (SACD/DVD)

摘要

The invention relates to a double-sided optical data carrier that, on both sides, contains data in different logical and/or physical formats. One side corresponds to the standard specifications of a Super Audio CD (SACD), whereas the second side contains data in a format that differs therefrom, preferably DVD Video and/or DVD Audio. The invention enables, for example, the introduction of a hybrid SACD/DVD Audio, on which one side contains music for SACD players, whereas the second side is compatible with DVD Audio players. In addition, a hybrid SACD/DVD Video can be produced that, on the SACD side, contains music in a high-resolution format whereas the DVD Video side mixes music and video that, to the inventor, seems essential for a broad spectrum of music (video clips for rock/pop, jazz live video, music videos of operas, musicals, ballets, concert recordings, etc.).
