11 About HighMAT
11.1. What is HighMAT?
This word combines the abbreviations of Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. and High Performance Media Access Technology,
and is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation. The products with the HighMAT logo shown below are made according to the
HighMAT standard.
HighMAT is a format that allows users to save digital contents such as photographs, audio, and images on a CD. This gives
consistency in the way of reading data when general consumer products (such as DVD players) and PCs are used, and thus, it is
easy to operate for the user.
11.2. Why use HighMAT?
Up to now, there was no harmonized standard from playing digital content stored in CD-ROM formats (including CD-R) on
consumer products like DVD players.Therefore, we used to have problems such as follow:
·
There was no common play list or attached information on contents, which is called metadata.
·
The data compression method differed according to the equipment.
·
As the number of CD-ROMs recorded increased retrieved the contents became more difficult.
·
Because display and operation methods were different depending on the equipment, the play order of the content on the same
disc could change.
11.3. The advantages of using HighMAT
Applying the HighMAT standard will solve the following problems and will improve usability.
·
It will create a common user interface for both PC and consumer products.
·
Regardless of the types of consumer products, such as DVD players, portable CD players, car stereos, and micro computers,
a consistent way to pay for digital content will be created and it will make it easier to retrieve data.
