Discovision, a revolutionary viewing system that utilizes a laser beam, offers frame by frame viewing of movies, such as The Birds pictured above. UNL swings into 'Discovision' By Paula Bauer It looks like a stereo, connects to a tele vision, plays plastic silver discs and will enter a UNL classroom this fall. This star pupil is the Magnavox MCA Discovision video display unit. Image and sound are transmitted to a television by a laser beam below the surface of the turn table. Unlike a stereo album, the 12" videodiscs are read from the inside of the disc to the outer edge. The unit's laser technology allows ac tion to be stopped, advanced, or reversed by frame without loss of picture quality. Each disc contains 54,000 frames per side and lasts 30 minutes. Although new to UNL classrooms this fall, videodisc technology has been the focus of a Nebraska Educational Television project that began in 1978. Videodisc project director Rod Daynes said the program is now in the second phase of a three-phase program. Phase I in cluded market research and acquisition of specialized equipment. Phase II involves making four pilot discs that demonstrate the unit's instructional capability. The four videodiscs include gymnastics, Spanish pronunciation, behav iorism and metrics. Using gymnastics as an example, Daynes said the disc is divided into "chapters" of forward roll, backward roll, and cartwheel. He explained that a teacher could concen trate on one chapter, one sequence or one frame. THE FREEZE-FRAME capability of the unit likens it to an "illustrated text book with electronic access," he said. Phase II is almost completed. The video tapes that were made in Lincoln were sent to Los Angeles to be pressed into discs, but Daynes said the discs probably won't arrive until November. "There's only one mastering machine (to press the discs) that we can use, and it's pretty busy because CM. bought 1 1 ,000 units to sell cars with," he said. Daynes, a former videodisc project de signer in Los Angeles will hold a free uni versity class about the "futuristic-type pre dictions of video" at 7: IS p.m. on October 8. CONSUMER TESTING of the MCA Discovision unit is now underway, accord ing to Magnavox representative Rich Barbe in Atlanta, Ga. Barbe said that over 1 ,000 units were sold in eight months at three Atlanta retail stores. The home consumer market is also being tested in Seattle, Wash., he said. The MCA Discovision unit costs $775, with videodiscs priced between $9.95 and $24.95. The disc catalog includes instruct ional programs and feature films. Other schools now using the unit in clude Harvard and most California state universities, Barbe said. si mm wsm ii a world of famous brand contemporary junior fashion D Hours: Mon. 10:00-8:00 Tu,W,Sat. 10:00-6:00 Thursday 10:00-9:00 Sunday 1:00-5.00 "(Si v I BYlI-XSCH'.VESERS 1209 Q Street "Glass Menagerie' Mi VJED.
