Blu Ray vs. HD DVD

Blu Ray vs. HD DVD Do we really need more power? The cynics among us can say that it is simply another way of computing and consumer electronics industry to sell something new. While there is an element of truth in this, because not everyone needs more capacity, but the computers, software and application continue to be ever more hungry for information. Many users will welcome an extra storage that can offer both formats as they are at full capacity of a DVD and are starting to need more than one set of disks. The new format will be the equivalent of five and ten times the size of a DVD. Apart from this, are faster broadband speeds to allow more users to download large amounts of data. High-definition television will begin broadcasting throughout Europe in 2006 and will allow consumers the best possible experience in both watching and recording television. In the United States more than seven million digital televisions have been sold and Europe is not far behind. In Europe, it is expected that the transmission in 2006 World Cup in high definition and will be an important factor for many to make their first purchase of a high-definition television digital. The rapid rate of transfer of a blue laser disc - along with the increase in capacity on a disc - also makes it ideal for storage applications, medical records and activities that require high resolution and immediate access recovery. First, take a quick look at the differences between the two formats use blue laser disc recording: Blu-ray Blu-ray is supported by over 100 companies that are members of the Blu-ray Disc Association (The members include Key Sony, Pioneer, HP, Dell, Philips, Mitsubishi Chemical, the Walt Disney, TDK, Hitachi, 20th Century Fox and Apple. Storage capacity of a Blu-ray is 25 GB (or 135 minutes of film and high definition two hours of extras in standard definition quality) for a single layer and 50GB with dual layer (or three hours of film and nine hours of bonus material). The prototypes have been developed by TDK that up to 100 GB on a single side. The Blu-ray group estimate the technology will be viable in a format standard for 10-15 years. similar to CD, DVD, Blu-ray discs will be available once recordable (BD - R), re-write (BD -E) and a pre-recorded disc format (BD-ROM). There will be two other types of Blu-ray Disc, which are contained in cartridges for specific use in issuing and data storage industries. These are called PD and PS, respectively. Blu-ray Disc products will be launched to cover three main areas of application: 1st The use of desktop applications and home video. 2nd Professional Broadcasting .. 3 Professional Backup of application data. Blu -ray are manufactured from a single disc of the substrate, with the recording layer near the surface of the disc. This would also help reduce the potential distortion, higher precision and shorter production times and costs. In terms of compatibility with previous versions, it is likely that the Blu-ray disc products will play both DVD and CD formats. It is also expected that Blu-ray recorders for PCs and Macs can also bu CDs and DVDs. Sony has recently announced that its next-generation Playstation 3 console will have capacity of Blu-ray. DVD High-density Main companies in the HD-DVD Promotion Group (yet no less important. The companies are NEC, Toshiba, Sanyo, Thomson, and Universal Pictures. The format is also supported by the DVD Forum. Storage Capacity is about 15/20GB, 30/32GB and 45 GB with a maximum of the double layer. In its present form, the capacity is not able to go beyond that because of the position the recording level, which is farther from the surface of the disc. The disc manufacturers will be able to transition to HD-DVD more easily as it is a disc similar to a DVD. However, the limited ability to see that at the end as a temporary solution, and, inevitably, manufacturers need to invest in Blu-ray production lines. As a DVD, HD-DVD is built by joining two surfaces (substrates) together. It is likely that the devices will be HD-DVD also able to reproduce the contents of the CD and DVD. The discs will be available on a disc (HD-DVD-R), re-write (HD-DVD-RW) and pre-recorded version (HD-DVD-ROM) . 89 titles were submitted in late 2005. Why expand the capacity of blue laser? With the same dimensions of the surface of the disc as a CD and DVD on blue laser disc can record and store more information using a laser beam with a much smaller than a CD or DVD. This laser can record more high density and small pits, which allows more data storage. A closer look at Blu-ray to Blu-ray of the family there are three types of discs available, which are optimized for specific applications. The question is the main use for the standard Blu-ray product, but there are also two other types of Blu-ray discs available that have been developed specifically for the transmission and storage of data Market: Professional Disc (PD) PD was developed specifically for the collection of information and broadcasting markets. The products are already under way by Sony. These include a system for recording and edition - ESP (Electronic News Gathering) - as well as the XDCAM series of professional camcorders. PD has a data transfer rate is faster, compared to 72 Mpbs 36Mbps, the Blu-ray standard and the product is seen as a substitute for the traditional tape cameras. The disk is re-writing and contained in a cartridge for greater protection in the field use. PD disc is manufactured by Sony and TDK. Professional Disc Data (DEP) is PDD was developed as a substitute for conventional magneto-optical (MO) applications such as the juke box or on-line access and archiving. TBP is almost identical physically Professional Disc (PD) and is available as a re-recordable and write. The disc is contained in a cartridge to protect and ease of use of robotics in any juke box or library system. Users are typically doctors, banks, govement and telecommunications companies who need fast network access to large amounts of data or information. Standard Blu-ray standard Blu -ray will be the Blu-ray product for mass use in recorders and players, PC drives and games consoles like the PlayStation 3. The disc may be provided by means of communication 'naked' and is not contained within a cartridge case for the application in the production of a protective layer disk. The first manufacturer to introduce this is TDK with their "Durabis' coating technology. Dell and HP are committed to start sending high-end PCs with Blu-ray in the late 2005th Blu-ray were included in the encryption and copy protection on the computer and the media during production to minimize piracy and illegal copying. Why the need for a protective layer • A plea for the immediate protective layer of packaging that is more data on the size of the disc surface the recorded data can be more susceptible to problems caused by damage to reproductive treatment, scratches and static. Furthermore, in order to maximize the capacity of Blu-ray and secure greater precision, the recording layer on a Blu-ray is produced near the surface of the DVD and HD-DVD. This means that the Blu-ray has a much greater capacity than other blue laser, such as HD - DVD, but this means that the disc must be enclosed in a jar, like PD and PDD or protected by a layer of coating. Being able to produce a disc that can be used in its' bare 'form without caddy is to ensure wider use and adoption of Blu-ray. This is because the disk is used a number of different drives and consumer electronic products. The elimination of the caddy also reduce production costs and end-users. Comparing the structure of the disc with the need to have a protective layer on a 'simple' Blu-ray Disc, TDK were the first manufacturer to introduce a 'scratch' coating. This has been available for a while ' time as an option on its range of products from DVDs, but recently have adopted this technology even further with the latest coating technology called the "Urbis". The advantages of the "Urbis" coating means that the disks can be used without a caddy, and are much less likely to be damaged by scratches, UV rays, fingerprints and dust attracted by static. .... And finally, when everything is available? Toshiba Corp. announced in March 2006, date of launch mark of the first HD-DVD in the United States. Blu-ray Disc recorders were first launched in Japan in 2003. Blu-ray is available in Japan as a caddy and should be available in the United States during the summer of 2006. Professional Disc (PD) for the transmission, and has limited availability. It is primarily being tested and proven in high-definition television projects for big companies and broadcasters. Professional Disc Data (PDD), which is used for 'archiving and backup is also limited availability. Both the Blu-ray group and HD-DVD group is together on a single format to avoid a collision. However, as each part of the proposal seems to be that the other decreases its format, it seems unlikely to lead to 'peace in our time. "Reference: CT230106-2
