DS' V5R21 delivers upward and
downward compatibility between CATIA V5 and V6 data that is equivalent to the compatibility between two releases of V5.
The newly defined coding scheme allows fully discrete surround sound transmissions over DAB with a minimum overhead of 16 kBit/sec, while still maintaining the
downward compatibility to stereo.
Most controls manufacturers incorporate some levels of "
downward compatibility" in their newer product offerings, meaning that, for example, older part programs will run on newer systems.
Ensuring full
downward compatibility with legacy systems while offering unprecedented capacity and swift data transfer rates certainly entitles the MO group to use "High Performance" in its committee's name.
