美国微软与松下电器产业目前联手开发成功了新的媒介规格——“HighM.A.T.”,其中规定了CD-R/RW等记录介质的逻辑格式。作为“连接PC和AV产品的技术”(松下电器产业家用AV业务部主任松本时和),双方对此寄予了厚望。该技术最先将在CD-R/RW光盘上使用,这样用支持HighM.A.T.规格的AV产品就能够播放在电脑上以 In the United States, Microsoft and Matsushita Electric currently jointly develop a new media specification, “HighM.A.T.”, which specifies the logical format of CD-R/RW and other recording media. As the “technology to connect PCs and AV products” (Matsushiki Matsumoto, director of Matsushita Electric Industrial’s home AV business department), both parties have high hopes for this. This technology will be first used on CD-R/RW discs so that AV products supporting HighM.A.T. specifications can be played on computers.
