Introduction The objective of this manual is to facilitate the correct preparation of input components for DVD productions with Sony DADC. Similar manuals are available for our other products including CD-Audio, CDROM, MiniDisc and PlayStation Disc. These manuals can also be downloaded from our website at http://www.sonydadc.com. Compliance with the specifications in this manual will avoid confusion and reduce the requirements for modifications.
Main Features 1. From CD to DVD 1.1. Format and Specifications DVD, which stands for Digital Versatile Disc, is the next generation of optical disc storage technology. It is essentially an optical disc that can hold video as well as audio and computer data. This new optical disc can reach a capacity of up to 26 times the capacity of a CD-ROM and encompasses prerecorded read only discs like DVD-Video, DVD-ROM, DVD-Audio, SACD and recordable formats like DVD-R, DVD-RAM, DVD+RW and DVD-R/W.
The DVD family 1.2. DVD Types and Formats A DVD consists of two halves, where each half disc is 0.6 mm thick holding one or two layers of information. The DVD format provides multiple configurations of data layers. Each layer provides additional data capacity. Capacity 12 cm Disc Type DVD-5 DVD-9 DVD-10 DVD-18 4.7 GB 8.5 GB 9.4 GB 17.1 GB single sided, single layer single sided, dual layer double sided, single layer double sided, dual layer DVD-5 reflective layer substrate 1.2mm 0.
The DVD family DVD-10 1.2mm 0.6mm substrate reflective layers double side single layer substrate movable Iens The total capacity of a double side, single layer DVD is 9.4 GB, which is 14 times the data capacity of today’s CD-ROMs. Note: disc has to be reversed to playback upper side. DVD-18 substrate reflective layers 1.2mm 0.6mm substrate semi reflective layers double side dual layer movable Iens The total capacity of a double side, dual layer DVD is 17.
Services 1.3. Services Statistical process controls and in-line inspection systems form a key part of our production process. Full 100% checks by means of automatic test systems of label print and read-out sides are implemented with the strictest error criteria.
DVD-Video 2. DVD-Video 2.1. General DVD-Video is a new media for the distribution of home videos. The digital nature of this new media offers several new features to the consumer. Amongst those features are: ● Multibranching is another feature of DVD- Video that simply offers the possibility to playback one title with different parts of this title, which can be interactively selected by the viewer. In addition the multiangle option allows a scene of a movie title to be viewed in different angles.
DVD-ROM 3. DVD-ROM 3.1. Data preparation The first step in formatting is the collection and preparation of the input materials. You can submit already formatted data as an image on tape or leave the formatting of your data to us. Unformatted data on storage media as well as backup formats on tape or unformatted data transmitted via ISDN first have to be converted into a DVD-ROM compatible format. Please note that these additional process steps take more time and are more expensive.
DVD-ROM DVD-ROM, DVD-R (Recordable), DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, DVD-R/W An already replicated DVD-ROM is a preferred input media because it can be used immediately for direct mastering. In order to determine the input media, please mark your input carriers with a catalogue number. The data of a 650 Mbyte CD-ROM are then copied in approx. 47 minutes to our servers. With previous compression of your data the transmission is still reduced further.
Label Printing 4. LABEL PRINTING The following pages contain important specifications on the DVD printing and the film material required. Please transmit this information to your graphics artist or designer. 4.1. Printing Processes Sony DADC uses screen printing processes for printing DVDs as well as offset printing processes.

Label Printing Specification G - Label Print DVD 10 Side A and B 15 mm 38,5 mm 43,2 mm 120 mm Printing area on the DVD 11

Label Printing Specification H - Label Print DVD 10 Labelside B 15 mm 23 mm 35 mm 120 mm Printing area on the DVD 13
Film Specifications 4.4. Film Specifications for Label Print Unless indicated otherwise in one of the special printing processes below, we will need smooth, fullpage screen printing films (positive, right side reading, emulsion up). Please mind that with serif type fonts (e.g. Times) and with type faces such as ”light” with letter sizes of 4 and/or 5 pt. the minimum line width of 0.10 and 0.15 mm is not achieved and thus an adequately larger letter size has to be selected.
Film Specifications Density To be able to process your label films optimally the minimum film density has to be 3.0 in full tone. Please take into account that there may be colour deviations from the original copies due to the different consistency of the base.
Standard Contents 4.5. Standard Contents Catalogue number: A catalogue number has to be printed on the DVD. DVD Logo A DVD logo also has to be shown on each DVDROM and DVD-Video in accordance with the DVD specification. The DVD logo should be seen clearly on the disc. Therefore, it has to be shown in highest possible contrast, but in any case the contrast between the logo and the background colour must not be less than 50 %. ”Made in EU” A designation of origin is not necessary on the DVD.
Colours/Label Film Data 4.6. Colours Sony DADC uses the Pantone Matching System (PMS). Please mark each label film with the Pantone colour number requested by you. Please select your colour from the Pantone Colour Selector 1000, except for double impression (2x) colours. us on electronic storage media for film burn-out.
Label Film Data 4.8. Label Film Data via Electronic Data Transfer You also have the possibility to send us your data (label film and printwork) via ISDN or Internet for exposure. If you want to transmit data in such a way we ask you to inform Customer Service. ISDN DATA TRANSFER Please note the following: Enclose a text document to the files containing the following data: ● With label films: number of colours used (4C or Pantone). ● With inlay card films: indication of front and rear side.
Label Film Production 4.9. Production of the Label Film We offer the production of finished printwork and of label film by our Graphics Studio. To be able to do this we will need a layout or a sketch of your desired design with all information required. After label film production you will receive from us a fax copy for production release or for modifications to be carried out.
Disc Serialisation 5. DISC SERIALISATION ● It is not possible to underline characters (e.g. 123456). Sony DADC Austria offers the possibility to apply an individual code number for every disc of the DVDROM production, e.g. for identification purposes. Your preselected code number is printed on the disc with the ink-jet process. ● A series or code number that changes can only be printed once on the same disc.
Packaging 6. PACKAGING As part of our full service philosophy, we can provide printwork and any special packaging procurement for you. Due to high yearly volumes we order with our qualified printwork suppliers, we can offer competitive prices. If you wish to utilise this service we request that your graphic studio provides components according to chapter 6.2., with chapter 6.3. being valid for the printwork carried out by us. Sony DADC can also process text inserts and similar printwork provided by you.
