The Pioneer LaserActive (パイオニアレーザーアクティブ) is a video game-compatible LaserDisc player designed and manufactured by Pioneer. Released in Japan and North America in late 1993, the system features interchangeable hardware expansions known as PACs, which enables compatibility with Mega Drive and Mega-CD games, PC Engine and PC Engine CD-ROM² games, and a new type of LaserDisc-based format: Sega Mega LD and NEC LD-ROM².

NEC produced a rebranded version of the system, the NEC PDE-LD1.^[2]^[3]

LaserDisc

The LaserActive plays all sizes of LaserDisc media. Considered a mid-range player in terms of playback quality, inserting a Sega PAC or NEC PAC expands the hardware with advanced playback features like frame-by-frame view and multi-speed jogging.^[4] The LaserActive cannot automatically switch between a disc's sides, and requires users to eject, flip, and re-insert discs halfway between most movies and software.

The system outputs in composite video (the format which all LaserDiscs are natively encoded in), and when playing video games, boasts superior video quality to both the Mega Drive and PC Engine's composite video output.

The hardware lacks the popular Dolby AC-3 surround sound capabilities found on later players, instead relying on software developers to encode spatial audio effects into their releases (usually Roland Corporation's RSS technology.)

Sega Mega LD & NEC LD-ROM²

Certain games were developed to take advantage of LaserDisc media. Similar to how the popular LaserDisc-based arcade game Dragon's Lair used special technology to add an interactive layer to the video, Sega Mega LD and NEC LD-ROM² could do the same. These two formats were rebranded versions of Philips' LD-ROM format, adapted for each company's respective PAC. However, the format's generally 480i content had to be downsampled to 240p whenever developers wished to display additional on-screen graphics with their games (to match the resolution of the 16-bit hardware the format works with.)

PACs

The LaserActive is designed to be an expandable and widely-compatible system. In addition to its existing ability to play LaserDisc and LD-G formats, the system can be expanded with plug-in hardware modules called PACs (sometimes stylized as Packs.) PACs expand the system's capabilities, such as the Sega PAC giving the system the capabilities of a Sega Mega Drive and Sega Mega-CD combined, allowing for playback of additional formats such as CD-G. While PACs are generally region locked, Sega Mega LD and NEC LD-ROM² games are region free and will play on any NTSC system.

The PACs listed below are suffixed by (American model number/Japanese model number).

Sega PAC (PAC-S10/PAC-S1)

Main article: Sega PAC.

The Sega PAC allows the system to play Sega Mega Drive, Sega Mega-CD, and Sega Mega LD games, in addition to CD-G media. Like it's counterpart, the NEC PAC, it also expands the LaserDisc functionality of the system by adding advanced playback features like frame-by-frame view and multi-speed jogging.^[4]

NEC PAC (PAC-N10/PAC-N1)

Main article: NEC PAC.

The NEC PAC allows the system to play NEC PC Engine, NEC PC Engine CD-ROM², and NEC LD-ROM² games, in addition to CD-G media. Like it's counterpart, the Sega PAC, it also expands the LaserDisc functionality of the system by adding advanced playback features like frame-by-frame view and multi-speed jogging.^[4]

Karaoke PAC (PAC-K10/PAC-K1)

Main article: Karaoke PAC.

The Karaoke PAC allows the system to play LaserKaraoke media, and features karaoke-oriented inputs and controls.

Computer Interface PAC (PAC-PC1)

Main article: Computer Interface PAC.

The Computer Interface PAC allows the system to be controlled by an NEC PC-98, IBM PC DOS, or Apple Macintosh personal computer^[5], by way of a custom program authored to communicate via the PAC's 25-pin serial port. The PAC is the only Japan-exclusive peripheral for the system.

-The LaserActive is not a fondly remembered device, partly caused by its high price point, but mostly due to the subsequent failure of the LaserDisc technology as a method of storing video data. Designed as a successor to the ageing VHS standard, LaserDiscs were designed to provide higher quailty video and audio and were less likely to degrade after repeated usage.
-Unfortunately LaserDisc technology proved too cumbersome to use - each of the abnormally large optical discs could only hold roughly an hour's worth of video, meaning users were forced to repeatedly change discs/sides during the course of an average film. This and the high cost of LaserDisc technology meant the VHS video format continued to dominate the market throughout the 1980s and 1990s, being inevitably replaced with [[DVD]]s, which remain in use today. This failure of the LaserDisc technology led to the LaserActive being discontinued in the mid-1990s, however Pioneer continued to manufacture lower-cost players until 2009.

-Sega did not manufacture their own brand of Mega LD compatible players, so when the LaserActive was discontinued, the Mega LD format also faded into nonexistence. However, NEC released a cloned version of the system (identified as the NEC PDE-LD1), and both systems support the additional PAC modules interchangeably.
+The system outputs in composite video (the format which all LaserDiscs are natively encoded in), and when playing video games, boasts superior video quality to both the [[Mega Drive]] and [[nec:PC Engine|PC Engine]]'s composite video output.
-Only a few dozen games were made to take use of both the [[Sega]]-based Mega LD and the NEC-based LD-ROM² formats, making each game relatively rare and sought-after by collectors.
+The hardware lacks the popular [[wikipedia:Dolby AC-3|Dolby AC-3]] surround sound capabilities found on later players, instead relying on software developers to encode spatial audio effects into their releases (usually [[wikipedia:Roland Corporation|Roland Corporation]]'s [[RSS]] technology.)

-Both Mega LD and LD-ROM² are encoded in the LD-ROM format, complete with a 540 MB data area (where digital audio would have normally been stored) with sixty minutes of analogue audio and video. Since are no region codes, software from either region can play on any system. Many games are even bilingual with options to choose between Japanese and English. PALCOM LaserDisc games will not play on the LaserActive since they are not compatible with NTSC systems.

+The LaserActive is designed to be an expandable and widely-compatible system.
