Can anyone give me a reference for both the format
of a compact disc and the error correction algorithm?

A truly excellent article on the CD format, including a good discussion
of the digital coding methods used is
Peek, J.B.H, "Communications Aspecs of the Compact Disk Digital
Audio System" in IEEE Communications Magazine, Feb 1985. Vol 23 No 2
I recommend that you visit your local college or university's technical
library and make yourself a copy of this article.

Has anyone figured out how to make sense out of the digital output of a CD player? Are specs on the format available? Any of the books mentioned by the above referenced article cover the subject? Lessee... If it's serial, it must be at least 44.1*16bits = 705.6 K baud minimum. I would assume that at that rate it is synchronous (clock included). How long do you think it would take to hack a complete interface directly to the DSP on a NeXT machine? Keith Doyle # {ucbvax,decvax}!trwrb!cadovax!keithd Contel Business Systems 213-323-8170

If it's serial, it must be at least 44.1*16bits = 705.6 K baud To begin with, there are two channels, each delivering 16 bit samples at 44+ KHz. In addition, your use of the term "baud" is not correct. The Baud rate is the rate of state transitions. This is the same as bps only if each state transition (shift in phase/frequency/amplitude) conveys only a single bit. If, for example, each state transition carries two bits (which would require four distinct state values), then the Baud rate is 1/2 the bps. > Keith Doyle > # {ucbvax,decvax}!trwrb!cadovax!keithd Contel Business Systems 213-323-8170 Tom Barber
