TVShowsOnDVD konnten einen ersten Eindruck der HD-DVD der ersten Staffel Heroes gewinnen und berichten über einige spezielle Features, die enthalten sein werden.
Der Bericht von Gord Lacey (TVShowsOnDVD.com):
Earlier today I attended a presentation looking at some of the HD DVD features, hosted by Kevin Collins from Microsoft. Collins showed off a number of HD DVD titles, including an early "check disc" (something they use for testing purposes) from the first season of Heroes. It was the last disc in the set, and Collins showed off a number of features, though nowhere near all of them.
These features are accessed by pressing the "A" button on the remote, which brings up a little "U" in the lower-right corner of the screen, with options popping up from it. The first feature was the "Character Connections" screen. This is essentially an image of a bulletin board that has photos of the characters, with strings depicting the connections between the characters. Selecting a character with the remote will bring up bio information. The next feature is something I haven't seen mentioned before; artwork presentations. The viewer is able to view Issac's paintings while a scene is playing. Close-ups of the photos were available, and the user could scroll around them with the remote (the image we saw was broken up into 4 parts). I assume this material is only available during scenes where artwork is visible; we were watching a scene set in Issac's studio. The third feature would display the hidden helix (you know, the cool tattoo that the "Heroes" have) when it's in a scene. We only saw it in one scene as the Heroes part of the demo was approx 5 mins out of an hour-long presentation.
Collins showed us some of his favorite scenes, using the bookmarking ability of HD DVD, and the picture quality was very, very nice, better than the NBC HD feed I watched during the season.
Die wichtigsten Infos auf deutsch zusammengefasst:
- Die Features werden durch Drücken des "A"-Knopfs auf der Fernbedienung ausgewählt
- "Character Connections": Man sieht Bilder der Charaktere, Biographie-Infos und die Verbindungen zwischen den Charakteren werden gezeigt
- "Artwork presentations": Während eine Szene läuft, kann sich der Zuschauer Isaacs Bilder anschauen. Man sieht Nahaufnahmen der Bilder, in denen man in alle Richtungen scrollen kann. Vermutlich ist dieses Feature nur sichtbar in Szenen, in denen auch Gemälde sichtbar sind.
- Das Symbol wird immer gezeigt, wenn es in einer Szene sichtbar ist.
- Es gibt die Möglichkeit, Lieblingsszenen mit einer Art "Lesezeichen" zu versehen
- Die Bildqualität soll außergewöhnlich gut sein
