(Automatic Picture Stop, Noted as PS in the LD index for Video Essentials) There are also automatic picture stops in A Video Standard.) The laserdisc player will automatically take the program from the play mode to a still frame mode according to information programmed in the vertical interval of the disc's video. The Pioneer VP-1000 consumer videodisc player requires the frame display to be on before the automatic picture stop function can be activated. Early VP-1000's required the "Play" button and some other control button, including "Play", to be pressed prior to activating the frame display before the Auto-Picture Stop function would work. (Press "PLAY" twice then the Frame Display. The disc would then stop at all Auto-Stop codes as long as the Frame display remained on.) The DVD has a similar capability. A pause is written into the program running the DVD at the point where the program should be halted. The pause can be timed and/or require a command from the viewer to move on in the program. Examples of that can be found in many places in Video Essentials. It first shows up at the end of Chapter 5 in Title 1. It happens often in Titles 10 through 14.
