CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets Inleiding Omdat ik graag een multimediaspeler wilde aanschaffen ben ik via internet op zoek gegaan naar informatie om een keuze te kunnen bepalen. Eigenlijk wil ik met zo’n apparaat gewoon iets aankoppelen en “dan moet alles gewoon werken…”. Ik betrapte mij erop dat ik eigenlijk geen goed overzicht had over de huidige stand van zaken wat allemaal mogelijk is en waar ik op moest letten.

CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets PS3 Test Unit Developers get a PS3 Test unit (Debugging Station) that allows it to run unsigned code. The machine is labelled Test below the PlayStation 3 logo, and it comes with a testkit. The PS3 model numbers for these Test machines are similar to the the ones for consumers, but instead of the CECH prefix, the model numbers have the DECH prefix.
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets 2.4x 9015 2.5x 2.6x 6258 8783 2.7x 7164 You can force the machine to go back to demonstration mode by pressing the four button combo again, or turning off and on the PS3. Note that Demonstration PS3 units have certain features disabled. For example, you are not allowed to access the PlayStation Store. Early PS3 Models Before the consumer PS3 was released on November 11, 2006, earlier models existed.
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets upcoming products. Although they are mainly for peripherals, you may need to leave out the CEC and go through all the list (unfortunately a lot of them) to pinpoint down the products models for PS3. This is how the PSP rumors were confirmed, by enter PSP into the Product Code and leaving AK8 as the Grantee Code.
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets For example, the Hong Kong PS3 originally only played back NTSC Region 3 DVD, and with an update supported both NTSC and PAL Region 3 DVD playback. Likewise, the European PAL PS3 gained the ability to play NTSC Region 2 DVDs (essentially Japanese DVDs).
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets Audio Storage Formats As disc based storage medium became popular it was feasible to store audio digitally. In order to store multiple channels (up to 7.1) efficiently, many formats that took advantage of compression and encoding were invented. The first digital format was basically the CD (redbook), which stored 44.1kHz of Linear PCM (unencoded and already decompressed). The DVD introduced 48kHz sample rate, and many types of encoding.
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets HDCD support in PS3 HDCD support is provided via the "bitstream" option. Note that because there is no specific CD option for turning on or off "bitstream", you must trick the PS3 into doing it. Since the CD is already in Linear PCM, the PS3 will normally just output the data (expecting it to be already decoded). HDCD has hidden bits in the Linear PCM that will trigger the external decoder to process the extra 4 bits.
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets SACD over AV Multi cable connection If you choose the AV Multi cable for output, you can only get stereo channels, but they can be up to 176kHz. The PS3 will convert first to Linear PCM and then to analog for your two channel AV Multi cable.

NTSC games and movies (at 60Hz) will have frames skipped to match 50Hz, so you may see motion skipping.
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets DivX .divx WMV AVCHD .wmv .mts .m2ts PS3 Resolution (SD to Full HD) The PlayStation 3 has support for "Full HD" (Full High Definition), which is generally defined as supporting the maximum resolution of 1920x1080p. The "p" signifies progressive, rather than "i" for interlaced. You can find out more about this at the HDTV resolutions page.
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets These are the resolutions supported by the PS3: Display Definition Resolution (NTSC PS3) Resolution (PAL PS3) Full High Definition (HDTV) 1920x1080p 1920x1080p High Definition (HDTV) 1920x1080i 1920x1080i High Definition (HDTV) 1280x720p 1280x720p Standard Definition (SDTV) 720x480p Standard Definition (SDTV) 720x480i 720x576p 720x576i It is important that you get a display that has the highest resolution possible (1920x1080p).
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets Since these earlier BT.709 HDTV displays would not normally handle 0-15 and 236-255 values anyways, the PS3 scales or cuts out those values in the content before passing them to the HDTV. This is expecially important for compatibility with PS3 Games and XMB, as the RSX sRGB color space had 0-255 primary color values, which would cause problems in these displays.
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets ranges. To incorporate this wider color space, the HDTV must have better individual LEDs with the lowest darkness and highest brightness that fall within x.v.Color guidelines. The following chart describes the x.v.Color color space specification and compares it with other standards. Type Visible Coverage Wasted Coverage Description BT.601 35% 0% Current TV Standard BT.
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets x.v.Color together with Deep Color Having a bigger color space of x.v.Color but only 24 bits (8 bits per primary color) to represent all the fine granuity in the wider range of colors actually creates a worse picture because banding would be more prominant (each RGB LED component still lights up in 256 value increments, but now with a wider range of intensity or brightness).

The architecture of the PS3 motherboard divides the main pieces of the system into 256MB XDR memory, Cell, RSX, and 256MB GDDR3.

CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets Because of the VERY slow Cell Read speed from the 256MB GDDR3 memory, it is more efficient for the Cell to work in XDR and then have the RSX pull data from XDR and write to GDDR3 for output to the HDMI display. This is why extra texture lookup instructions were included in the RSX to allow loading data from XDR memory (as opposed to the local GDDR3 memory).

CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets PS3 HDMI chip The PS3 uses the Silicon Image Vastlane SiI9132CBU, which transmits HDMI 1.3 protocols. It supports deep color and advanced audio transmission. The SiI9132 is unable to support bitstream transmission of Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD Master Audio, which is why for these two audio modes, the PS3 must do the transcoding itself and output LPCM. The paired receiving end chip with same feature set should be a SiI9133.
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets The processing key and disc volume id key is then processed using AES algorithm to obtain the Volume unique key. Having the Volume unique key allows decryption of the disc's encrypted title key, which results in the unencrypted title key. The unencrypted title key can decrypt the disc's encrypted movie. Regular protection for Blu-ray games Blu-ray games (PS3 games) do not use AACS.
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets PS3 Wireless Modules The PS3 contains two wireless technologies, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g and Bluetooth 2.0. It is not possible for both to be used at the same time, so the PS3 alternates between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication at a very fast frequency using time division multiplexing. Both wireless capabilities are powered by the Marvell 88W8580 chip.
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets PS3 Heatsink The PS3 uses Furukawa Electric heatsinks to cool the Cell and RSX chips. As the PS3 went through various hardware revisions, the cooling technology was also updated. In summary, CECHA to CECHD used five heatpipes to cool the chips. CECHE to CECHG used 2 heatpipes. rom CECHH and later models, no heatpipes were used, although Cell and RSX aluminum heatsink cooling was introduced.

CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets Data from the Blu-ray disc can have a disc-based encryption on it. The encryption key (128 bit) is hidden inside the disc as a BD-ROM Mark, and requires special Blu-ray reader technology to read it. The disc layered encryption is usually used to encrypt EBOOT.BIN from Blu-ray discs. After decrypting this disc layer, the result is a file named *.SELF. These *.SELF files are packed NPDRM encrypted data and includes SHA1 hashes.
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets Normally if you are using a connection of NAT Type 3, you may need to manually forward ports to your PS3. The following are ports that are required for the PS3 to operate: • • • PSN requires these open ports: TCP: 80, 443, 5223. UDP: 3478, 3479, 3658. PS2 games requires these open ports: UDP: 4658, 4659 PSP Remote Play requires this open port: TCP 9293.
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets The Future The PS3 is a difficult product to evaluate unless you have digged deep into all of its features. However, there seems to be no end to the feature list as newer firmware versions allow for features to be stored onto the harddrive instead of flash. Initially 256MB was the maximum size of the PS3 operating system (that was the combined size of the two firmware chips).
CD, DVD, BLU-RAY & PlayStation 3 Secrets The PS3 can enter a special "Service Mode". When it does the bottom right hand corner of the screen has a red translucent rectangle with the words "Playstation 3. Factory/Service Mode" inside of the rectangle. It is rumored that by plugging a special JIG in the USB port, the PS3 is triggered into Service Mode the next time it boots up. This special mode then accepts firmware code loaded in from the USB port, and allows reflashing the firmware chip.
