CD-I

CD-I
(Compact Disc-Interactive) A compact disc format developed by Philips and Sony that held text, audio and animated graphics. It required a CD-I player that contained its own operating system. The CD-I player also played audio CDs and Karaoke CDs (see CD+G) as well as video CDs (VCDs) with an MPEG-1 card. Professional CD-I players were built for the multimedia training market, and consumer models were made for the entertainment market.

Specified in the Green Book (see CD), CD-I provided approximately two and a half hours of CD-quality stereo or 10 hours of AM radio-quality stereo. Introduced in the mid-1980s, players emerged in the early 1990s, only to be abandoned a few years later. See CD, CD-ROM and DVD.

There is no word on whether or not Microsoft would market the box as a game console or as a do-everything set-top box a la 3DO's Multiplayer(TM) or Philips CD-i, but Next Generation's sources believe it to be primarily a games console.
Additional features of CyberManCD include Kodak Multisession Photo(tm) CD compatibility, support for the Philips CD-i (compact- disc-interactive) standard, and "hot-swapping," enabling users to unplug the drive without powering down the system.
