zerodB Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Kurisu has been hinting at the next hardware release of Hi-Md as being something huge!I'm wondering whether the next generation of HiMD hardware will still retain compatibility with regular MD, as in the current batch?Is this likely? What do you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 In all likelihood, they will not be compatible with standard MiniDisc formats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 While this is really a total non-issue for me, I'm waiting and seeing. I can't see them writing off compatibility in HiMD's second year. There are too many people [most specifically, broadcast users] with existing equipment for them to just dump it this early in the life of HiMD. As an aside, the developments by Sharp for the hybrid optical systems might be a big clue as to whether compatibility will exist much longer.

Christopher Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 haha, took me a moment to get it, but you're a real comedian at 8 am. Of course, I could be wrong, but I will note that it doesn't seem compatibility will be lost this time around - I have no doubts that it will occur, though.The real thing is that you people need to think outside of the box. The features that will be added are more or less hardware revisions to promote usage without it being counter-intuitive. Don't expect "viva revolution", but it will be nice.

Fast Eddie Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 More recording bitrate options would be first on my list of changes. A Hi-LP mode with a higher bitrate for starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing jaw dropping, but certainly alot more user friendly and functional in the higher end models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
