CD-EG, CD-XG Format?

Post by karaokest »

Hi all,

Random question, does anyone know where I can find additional information on the CD-EG (or CD-XG) disc format? They seem to be interchangeably called CD+EG and CD+XG. Were any discs ever made? Wikipedia was of no help. Thanks in advance.

I've heard of this format. It basically allows for enhanced graphics on compact discs. The 4-bit graphics on a typical CD+G disc are limited to 16 colors and 288×192 (viewable) resolution. The CD+EG format allows for a higher bitrate with more colors and larger resolution. I do not know the specifics. To my knowledge there has never been a karaoke disc released in the CD+EG format. That is that after 25 years as a karaoke professional, who has purchased virtually every karaoke disc available, I have never seen a CD+EG disc.
