Enhanced Versatile Disc (EVD)
Developed by leading Chinese consumer OEMs for use in Greater China Region


Beijing E-world Technology, which includes leading Chinese consumer electronics manufacturers SVA, Shinco, Xiaxin, Yuxing, Skyworth, Nintaus, Malata, Changhong and BBK, has developed a new digital video format called Enhanced Versatile Disc (EVD). Supported by the Chinese government, the first HD EVD content and optical disc players were unveiled at a special event in Beijing on November 18, 2003.

LSI Logic is providing E-world with HD encoding and decoding technologies based on the popular DoMiNo™ architecture. EVD is the first HD format created by using MPEG-2-based technology and a standard optical red laser. To deliver the industry's best quality HD and SD images, the DoMiNo architecture uses LSI Logic's award-winning PerfectView® MPEG-2 encoding algorithm.

EVD-enabled devices can include optional backward compatibility with DVD, VCD, SVCD and CD, making EVD the most versatile format in the market. Chinese consumers will be able to watch high-definition video content, play back their favorite music files, or display high-resolution JPEG pictures on HD-, LCD-, Rear Projection- and Plasma TVs.
