| CD-i was jointly developed by Philips
Electronics NV and Sony Corporation in the mid 80s.
Together, both companies defined CD-i's basic specifications in what is know as the Green Book. They decided to use the well-tested OS-9 operating system from Microware Systems Corporation, which was designed for embedded, real-time applications. Microware was also heavily involved in the CD-i design process. Eventually, Philips took the biggest part in the development process, being responsible for at least 90% of CD-i's development. |

| The basic CD-i specification allows
a CD-i player to display full screen animations in 128
colors over a 16.7 million color background, or play partial screen moving video in a lower framerate in 16.7 million colors, both with accompanying sound. However, these capabilities are extended when a Digital Video cartridge is placed in the player. In this case, the player is able to display full-screen, full moving 30 fps video in 16.7 million colors ac- cording to the MPEG-1 standard. Although Digital Video is not a part of CD-i's basic speci- fication, it is generally considered to be a "must-have" extension to a CD-i player since it adds an enormous audiovisual performance boost to the system. |

| A Base Case CD-i player should be
able to decode standard PCM audio as
specified for
CD-Audio, as well as a dedicated audio coding scheme called ADPCM, or Adaptive Delta Pulse Code Modulation. A CD-i player equiped with a Digital Video cartridge is also able to decode MPEG-1 layer I and II audio. CD-i can display both main planes in either normal, double or
high resolution, which are

| Note that there are no system performance
differences between the various players. Although
there are various models of CD-i players, every CD-i disc will perform exactly the same in terms of system speed or audio and video quality on every CD-i system. |
