The Blu-ray Disc (BD), as well as individuals and players who play the recorder and / or write in the new format, for all things Blu-ray. The technology was jointly developed and standardized by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), an umbrella organization of the computer industry, electronics and media Apple, Sharp, JVC, LG, TDK, Pioneer, Philips, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Samsung, Dell, Hitachi, HP, Sony and Thomson.
Those of you who do not have this “saga May Tech believe that the path towards a” new generation optical disc format is good and right. This is not the case. In fact, if the first movie titles have been on Blu-ray Disc in June 2006, the press, as an attempt to catch up to HD-DVD, its rival and market leader in time. Home Media Retailing reported this:
As rival HD-DVD continues to advance on the market, the Blu-ray Disc, the next generation optical disc format supported most of the studios and producers of consumer, makes his expected – delayed several times — earlier this week.
The first group of seven Blu-ray, all of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, [is] scheduled to arrive in stores the 20th of June The first set-top Blu-ray Samsung for the sale of the 25th June
Of course, HD-DVD is over, and Blu-ray is the only one the new “generation” of technology, consumers to record, rewrite and play HD (high definition) video. Plus, it provides large amounts of memory, more than five times the standard DVD of 25 GB on a single layer disc, 50GB on a double. This ability is phenomenal for the quality audio and advanced video codecs (compression / decompression process), consideration and unprecedented listening experience.
In the color
During the Blu-ray for the introduction, the cockpit voice recorder optical disk formats such as writing DVD ± R ARVD, DVDA ± RW and DVD-RAM, all the red laser to read and write data. The new technology Blu-ray with a blue-violet laser, which is, as it takes its name. How a blue-violet laser has a shorter wavelength (405nm, nanometer or billionth of a meter) with a red (650 nm), the laser device on the more specific.
Manufacturing and material readiness to continue to improve as well, but it is the blue-violet laser for precision, with the “package” of data in less space. The original optical disk, CD, maxed 800, while the DVD later, the situation in a single layer 4.6GB and 9GB on both. With the color laser, and other new 25GB/50GB BD process can now hold. Pioneer engineers and other members of the BDA companies have storage capacity of a BD 500 GB and beyond, on one hard drive up to 20 layers.
The future is bright
More than 200 leading computer, electronics, music, recording media and video game companies to support Blu-ray format. It also has a strong support of major Hollywood studios and the vast majority of young people. Blu-ray is the heir to the DVD format today, and many studios, for films about the comic strip “day-and-date” with DVD player (Code Hollywood “both”). Each month , the new title revealed in this magnificent new catalog format of classic films are also increasing steadily. The Internet is awash with sites and information on Blu-ray movies, Blu-ray “movie review Overview from the new and upcoming Blu-ray output, but only lists that the films are in BD.
Like any new technology the first BD players are expensive. The first began on 25 June 2006 from Samsung. Its retail price was $ 999.99 great. The world is ready for the technology is, however, that several generations of customers are equipped with digital technology. Comfort is high, “technoliteracy” and it is very dynamic, color of the image on the screen and surround sound in the speakers. This assumption leads to an initial rapid reduction of retail prices, of course. In February 2009, less than three years after the first unit of a million dollars in price, tech news site DigiTimes is as follows:
After an intense price war for sales of Blu-ray Disc (BD) players in the center of international brands in the United States and Europe before Christmas 2008, White-Box-suppliers may offer models BD-Player for the sale of U.S. $ 150 in 2009, that the Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN).
In addition to white-box vendors, Lite-On IT, the largest manufacturer in Taiwan, half-height optical drives, the BD field also offer the sale of nearly 150 United States dollars, said EDN.
Five million players have been Comics in the world in 2008 and sales volume for this year to 11 million units, EDN city [has] projected on Taiwan Topology Research Institute as a benchmark.
In fact, there is much progress in the reserve for the future, with optical technology, memory, processors and other miracles. Blu-ray are no longer on the horizon, it is close and personal, and may be in your living room for half the costs associated with the iPhone.
Blu-ray is the “technology of the future” within the meaning of the comparison, because they cause the near future, we have now, and progress, which is probably part of future properties, are now on the drawing table. Think about this: Given the incredible nature of the Blu-ray technology and speed to the prior art, the capacity of $ 150 in price, equipment, boards of the next two years will be absolutely incredible !
