Introduction of PDSC Verification Lab
Panasonic Disc Services Corporation (PDSC) located in Torrance,
California has been approved by the DVD Forum as a Class-A Verification
Laboratory as of Feb 21st 2001. PDSC started production with its
first facility located in Torrance in fall of 1997. By fall of
2000, we have expanded our operations with a total of 4 global
facilities capable of producing DVD's at an output of about 10
million discs per month. Due to the seasonality of studio business,
it was also necessary to maintain reliable and quality outsource
replicators. Since 4 years ago, PDSC engineering has been continuously
evaluating, qualifying, and monitoring other replicators, and
when necessary providing technical support through electrical
and mechanical evaluations in order to meet PDSC standard. Having
such manufacturing expertise as well as technical knowledge allowed
PDSC to provide technical information for process and quality
improvements. This was the open communication given to our outsource
replicators which we will offer as a "Value Added" service at
PDSC.
In 1997, the number of DVD titles released domestically was only
about 500, but last year there were a total of about 3,700 new
titles released bringing the current total to over 8,000 titles.
For domestic set top players, in 1997 about 300,000 units were
sold and last year that number jumped to over 7 Million units,
bringing the running total to over 12 Million for the past 4 years.
This shows the acceptance of the format and the importance in
ensuring discs and players are made to the DVD specification.
DVD is quickly becoming a standard household product. It was clear
for us that additional Class-A Verification Labs were needed in
the North American region, particularly in the West Coast. The
growth of this format, particularly in this region, needs to be
supported through local labs. We made use of our experience to
expand and develop additional service of Class-A Verification
Lab. Through this lab, we strive to promote and support the DVD
format by providing 2-way open communication. This in turn will
support licensees adhering to the DVD specification, which achieves
format acceptance.

Introduction of Mitsubishi Verification Lab (Kyoto, JAPAN)
DVD Verification laboratory of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation
was approved as a Class-A Laboratory by the Steering Committee
held on February 21st, 2001 at L.A. in the U.S.A. and started
its operation of the verification service in "DVD Video Player"
from the end of February 2001.
As the DVD industries are grown up, better conformance of DVD
products to the DVD specifications is required in order to avoid
compatibility problems. We believe that Mitsubishi Electric's
development in the optical disk field during more than 20 years
is able to show some solutions in the DVD verification area.
Mitsubishi Electric has been working on the DVD format making
since 1995. Our contribution to the format making commenced on
the DVD-ROM and -Video area and our recent activities have resulted
in establishing the Specifications for DVD-RAM, -R, RW, Video
Recording, and -Audio. As well, we have served the DVD forum as
a member of the Steering Committee, and actively participated
in the Technical Coordination Group and all the Technical Working
Groups. Through the verification activity that is newly added
to our experience and knowledge, Mitsubishi Electric is going
to contribute much more to the sound growth of the DVD market.
Future service expansion is being considered at present.

Recommendation for DVD-RAM Disc Manufacturers
Write power control parameters to be pre-recorded in the disc
manufacturing information of the control data zone
(1) Background
The "Technical Information (TI)" defines several parameters for
determination of recording power and adaptive write control table.
TCG has approved to put those parameters into the physical format
information of the control data zone so that drives can use them
for write power calibration. But the DVD-RAM drives, which were
shipped before Supplemental Information for the DVD-RAM (4.7GB)
Book Part 1 is published, can not use those parameters. Therefore,
disc manufactures should be recommended to write the following
information into the disc manufacturing information of the control
data zone.
(2)
Write power control parameters in the disc manufacturing information
(BP0) PP2L/Pp2thL:
Ratio of Peak power for land tracks to threshold peak power for
land tracks.
This byte is the same as BP615 in the physical format information
of the control data zone.
(BP1) AS6T: Target asymmetry
This byte is the same as BP616 in the physical format information
of the control data zone.
(BP2)
PP1: Temporary peak power
This byte is the same as BP617 in the physical format information
of the control data zone.
(BP3) PB11: Temporary bias power1
This byte is the same as BP618 in the physical format information
of the control data zone.
(BP4) PB21: Temporary bias power2
This byte is the same as BP619 in the physical format information
of the control data zone.

of the control data zone.
(BP6) PP2G/PPthG:
Ratio of Peak power for groove tracks to threshold peak power
for groove tracks.
This byte is the same as BP621 in the physical format information
of the control data zone.
(BP7) PP1/PPth6TL:
Ratio of Temporary peak power to threshold 6T peak power
for land tracks.
This byte shall specify the ratio of the Temporary peak power
to the threshold 6T peak power for land tracks. The threshold
6T peak power is defined as the peak power when the jitter value

pulse set to the values given in BP504 to 506, BP502 and BP511
to BP548 of the physical format information.
b7 to b0 : 1000 0010b : 1.30 (example)
Note : The actual ratio shall be specified by the following formula.
Actual ratio = Value × 0.01
Caution : This byte is different from PP2L/PPth6TL
which is the same as BP622 in the physical format information
of the control data zone. PP2L/PPth6TL
is calculated by the following formula.
PP2L/PPth6TL = (PP1/PPth6TL)×PP2L/PP1
= BP7×BP503/BP2
Where BP7 and BP2 are in the disc manufacturing information and
BP503 is in the physical format information.
(BP8) PP2G/PPth6TG:
Ratio of Peak power for groove tracks to threshold 6T peak power
for groove tracks.
This byte is the same as BP623 in the physical format information
of the control data zone.

Single Layer Signal Disc (Calibration Disc)
(1)Introduction:
The DVD Forum announced that it will soon begin to deliver march
2001 calibration discs to DVD Format and Logo Licensees, who are
DVD-ROM Disc replicators and/or DVD-ROM Disc evaluation system
manufacturers, to further assure disc quality control and thus
compatibility among DVD products.
Calibration discs, an important tool needed in the DVD manufacturing
process, can be used as a certified reference for the calibration
of DVD measurement equipment, to assure conformity to industry
standards.
The first calibration disc to be offered, developed by Philips
and Warner Advanced Media Operations (WAMO) in close cooperation
with the DVD Forum's Verification Policy Committee and the DVD
Format/Logo License Corporation, is a "Single Layer Signal Disc"
for read-only DVD discs (DVD-Video, DVD-ROM and DVD-Audio).
Each numbered calibration disc will be accompanied by an individual
measurement report by the Philips DVD Format Verification Laboratory.
This data will be calibrated against the reference, which is based
on International Standards and/or agreed upon in the DVD Forum.
(2)Measurement method:
Together with the reference values SG1 has defined the details
of the measurement methods related to the parameters provided.
These measuement method is briefly described in this document
and provided with each of the calibration discs.
SG1 and WG2 have decided that the details of the measurement method
will be described in the document: "DVD Read-Only Physical Test
Specification " which is already mentioned in the DVD-Video disc
test specification and the DVD-Audio test specification.
(3)Delivery method:
The FLLC will send to all DVD Format and Logo Licensees, who are
DVD-ROM Disc replicators and/or DVD-ROM Disc evaluation system
manufacturers a voucher for a free "Single Layer Signal Disc".
The voucher is to be submitted to the measurement equipment supplier
of your choice.
Upon receipt of the voucher, Philips will deliver to you through
the measurement equipment supplier of your choice, free of charge,
one piece of this disc. This disc, individually measured and certified
by Philips, provides you with a direct link to a certified reference
for calibration of your DVD measurement equipment.
As of March 13, 2001 the following measurement equipment suppliers
have confirmed their participation with this program.
- Aeco
- AudioDev
AB.
- CD
Associates
- DaTARIUS
Technologies GmbH
- Dr
Schenk
- Pulstec
- ShibaSoku
- Sony
Precision Technology Inc.
As each of the discs is individually measured with care, the capacity
of Philips is limited. So please understand that it will take
several month before all discs are delivered.
Annex. Description of the Single Layer Signal Disc
Optical Parameters.
Refractive index [2.5.4]
The manufacturer of the disc has supplied the Refractive Index
(RI).
The Refractive index of the Polycarbonate and space layer [2.5.4]
for these calibration discs:
- RI
of substrate 1.578 +/- 0.002
- RI
of spacer layer 1.525 +/- 0.002
This is the RI of the initial batch. If the specific batch has
different RI values this will be indicated in the individual measurement
report.
Substrate thickness [2.5.1]
The substrate thickness of this disc is measured via the Interferometer
method in accordance with the DVD specifications [Annex A.2] using
the refractive index indicated by the disc manufacturer.
The provided thickness is calculated (Upper Limit + Lower Limit)
/ 2. The Upper and Lower limit can be recalculated using the ±
value.
The values are measured over the area R=24 up to 56 mm.
Reflectivity [2.5.7]
The Reflectivity is measured in accordance with the DVD specifications
[Annex D.2] using a high reflective (approx 75% Aluminum (AlTi))
or a low reflective (approx 22%, Silicon (Si(H)) calibration (mirror)
discs (depending on the reflectivity level). These calibration
discs are calibrated in accordance with the DVD specifications
[Annex D.1]
Individual measurements are provided for a selected number of
bands.
Note: For more accurate reflectivity calibration glass discs (with
mirror) are available.
Operational
signals.
High Frequency (HF) signal [2.7.1]
The measurement conditions for the operational signals are in
accordance with the DVD specifications [Annex H].
Focus gain, Tracking gain and Equalizer gain is set in accordance
with the DVD specification conditions. Tangential tilt adjustment
is done using a reference disc.
So the Tangential tilt, Focus gain, Tracking gain and Equalizer
gain are fixed for all discs and radii to be measured.
Individual measurements are provided for a selected number of
bands allowing multipoint calibration.
Jitter [2.7.1.a]
The parameters radial tilt, focus -, tracking - and slicing offsets
are optimized for each measurement.
Modulated amplitude [2.7.1.b]
Individual measurements are provided for a selected number of
bands allowing multipoint calibration of:
- I14
/ I14H (I14 modulation)
-
I3 / I14 (resolution)
All measurement conditions are identical to the Jitter condition.
Signal levels measured are averaged over 10 events
Signal Asymmetry [2.7.1 c]
Individual measurements are provided for a selected number of
bands allowing multipoint calibration
All measurement conditions are identical to the Jitter condition.
Signal levels measured and averaged over 10 events
Track Crossing Signal [2.7.1.d]
Individual measurements are provided for a selected number of
bands allowing multipoint calibration
The Track Cross Signal is measured in accordance with the DVD
specifications [figure 2.7.1-2]
Servo
signal
DPD Amplitude [2.7.2.a]
All
measurement conditions are identical to the Jitter condition.
The
DPD tracking error signal may look like the figure shown above.
The tracking error signal at 0.1 µm track off-set is calculated
by:
in which
t = ( t1 + t2 ) / 2 = averaged period of the signal
q = track pitch of the DVD disc (0.74 µm nominal).
Notes:
- Measurement
of t1 and t2 is an indication of the local non linearity in
the time domain. | t1 - t2 | is minimised for this measurement.
- Comparators
are saturated at all times. Hence the amplitude of the signal
VTE is independent of the amplitude of the input signals.
The DPD amplitude is then calculated by:
where
n = the average run length (in case of DVD, n »
5)
VPC = the supply voltage of the comparator of the DPD circuit,
usually 5 Volts.
The DPD Amplitude value of this signal disc allows to determine
a correction factor K to compensate for the above mentioned deviations
of n and Vpc, and possibly other circuit parameters and adjustments
of the measuring equipment used.
See also [Annex I.2].
Measuring conditions
Room Temperature 23°C ± 2°C Relative Humidity 30% to 70%
Indications of the measurement values.
The below mentioned values are an average value of the measurements
carried out on the first batch of this Single Layer Signal Disc.
Measurement data from different batches will differ and measurement
values of individual discs in one batch are not identical. Therefore
the "measured value" mentioned below are an indication only.
If the disc is provided with individual measurement values, the
"accuracy" value indicated is the accuracy of such data. Measurement
procedures and equipment will be maintained in a condition to
meet that requirement.
