IBM Training Video: PS/2 L40SX Laptop
Recently I got a box of IBM Laserdiscs, and here's the first post. This video introduces the L40SX laptop and includes an overview and teardown.
Future videos will be a mix of training videos including products, deployment info, and other randomness.
Note that these disks were pressed by Technidisc, so the quality isn't as good as it could be. The signal/noise ratio in the early part of this disk was relatively low, and some earlier disks in this series have considerable rot.

Pioneer Reference Disc - Light Years Ahead v2

This is a circa 1990 Pioneer demo disk - made in Japan (I think) but issued for an American audience - there was also a version with RCA branding with the same disk. This new version is made with ld-decode (almost)-rev7 from three different disks, with digital sound taken from a copy that decoded perfectly. ffmpeg was used for encoding with the relatively simple bwdif deinterlacer, upscaled to ...

(Redone version without a sudden bug-induced cutoff at the end. There's some crosstalk at the end since the disk was warped before purchase, but original source isn't of the greatest quality and I'm not sure if stacking would help that much... even if I could get more copies.) This is a 1995 LaserDisc from Pioneer's Service Department. While the S104 is probably the cheapest/simplest LD player ...

    Chad, do you tune-up/re-calibrate LD players for others? I have a DVL-909, which far from a great player, I'd like to get running to its best capability. I dabble in electronics. I'm considering trying to do it myself just to learn, but I may wind up paying someone to do it. I have a small "pocket-style" digital O scope. Is that sufficient? Thanks! Btw...I'm located in Georgia, USA.

    @milkprofessor5341 3 роки тому

    Thank you for the full-length recapture of the service guide. I remember I read your good comments on S104/D406/V880 that they produce a clean and sharp analog composite video output as they employ digital TBC as well as skipping further video noise reduction. Also the composite video does not pass through the additional lossy S-video Y/C separation and recombination as what D50X/D60x (X=3,4,5; x=4,5,6) and DVL's do. In your opinion, do you think the picture quality of these post-1995 analog-composite-output-only LD players (CLD-S104/D390/D406/V860/V870/V880 etc) is comparable to or even exceeds 97/99/79/704/S9/X1 provided very good 3D comb filters are already built inside modern LED TV's (e.g. Sony Bravia)?

    • @happycube
      @happycube 2 роки тому

      There's a low-pass filter before the composite output that introduces ringing - which is true for pretty much everything with a few exceptions like the X0. Once that's removed it'd be pretty good but the mechanism and circuit quality of the really strong players (97/S2/X0) is a lot better.

    • @happycube

      It was a decoding glitch - check the service guide for the 503/703 on manuals.lddb.com (it may be mislisted as the SM itself), those often have the flowcharts. I just re-cap'd this disk with the Domesday Duplicator, so I'll update/repost this sooner or later.
