<p>An improved video disc drive which is capable of reproducing a motion picture from a compact disc as well as conventional applications including a digital audio and a computer data base is disclosed. The video disc drive includes an optical unit for providing an optical beam to a surface of a compact disc to sense a reflected optical beam indicative of pits on said compact disc and generating an electric signal corresponding to the sensed optical beam, a servo controller for controlling a rotation of the compact disc and positioning the optical unit on the surface of the compact disc, an amplifier for amplifying the electric signal from the optical unit to an amplitude greater than a predetermined level, a digital signal processor for demodulating the electric signal from the amplifier to reproduce digital data and error-correcting the digital data, a CD-ROM decoder for decoding the digital data from the digital signal processor and providing the decoded digital data to a host computer or other external device through a CD-ROM standard interface bus, an MPEG decoder for separating the video data from audio data from motion picture data from the digital signal processor and decoding the video data and the audio data based on a predetermined protocol and outputting the decoded video and audio data to an external monitor, and a micro-computer for controlling an overall operation of the disc drive based on the instruction from the host computer or other external device by controlling the servo controller, the CD-ROM decoder and the MPEG decoder. <IMAGE></p> |
