  • So Do You Want to Make Blu-Ray Discs?
    OTO218_p16_19_Tech_Bluray 15/1/09 15:55 Page 16 technology The Blu-ray Disc was announced in February 2002. In 2005 the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) was formed and is now a voluntary membership group open to any organisation “with an interest in creating, upholding and/or promoting the BD formats”.The aim of the BDA is to develop Blu-ray Disc specifications; ensure BD products are manufactured by licensees; promote the wide adoption of BD formats and provide useful information to those interested in supporting BD formats. Blu-ray Disc formats Recordable versions of Blu-ray Discs also exist for use as a backup medium for computer data, as well as other applications. There is therefore a range of different formats based on Blu-ray, just as there are with DVD. G BD-ROM: a read-only disc format that would normally contain movies in HD content. G BD-R: a recordable format for archiving large amounts of data or video. G BD-RE: a rewritable disc format for recording video or data. All BD formats can be made in single-layer (25GB) and dual-layer (50GB) versions. Blu-ray Disc characteristics The developers of the Blu-ray Disc claim that it has the following characteristics: G Broadest industry support from manufacturers and So do you want to content providers. G Lifespan of at least 10 to 15 years due to its high storage capacity. G The strongest, renewable content protection, which includes strict licensing procedures. make Blu-ray Discs?

  • A DVD Primer
    March 2004 A DVD Primer From DV to DVD: Enriching the experience of high-quality video from the Adobe Digital Video Group A DVD Primer: INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION From Stone Age to Bronze Age to Industrial Age to Information Age, humans have found new ways to communicate and to tell stories that educate, inform, and entertain. Audiences have evolved from polite passivity, glad to receive whatever reports, hearsay, or diversion might be found locally; through the wonder of entertainment and news choices brought to them by national and international media net- works; to an explosion of possibilities that are available on demand via cable, satellite, and the Internet. With digital technology transforming the ways in which we access and utilize information, we have wit- nessed the dawn of the Interactive Age. We have become a society enraptured with decision-making on every level—empowered to choose exactly what to read, listen to, and view; when, where, and how. So it comes as no surprise that by 2000, within just three years of its introduction in September 1997, DVD had become the most successful consumer electronics entertainment product ever. Facilitating interactivity unfulfi lled by VHS, at a more affordable cost than laser disc, DVD has outpaced the con- sumer adoption rate of any other product in history. Analysts predict that the total market for all types of DVD systems (players, recorders, set-tops, PCs, etc.) will be over 400 million units by 2006. While DVD players have rapidly become de rigueur in home entertainment systems, and DVD drives are continuing to replace CD drives in personal and laptop computers, there have also been some other developments that have been changing the way we experience and use video: • With the availability of the DV format and affordability of DV camcorders, more and more people are producing their own videos—for work and for their own entertainment.

  • DVD-ROM, DVD- R/RW, DVD-RAM, and DVD-Audio
    OpticalOptical StorageStorage TechnologyTechnology Digital Versatile Disc - DVD IntroductionIntroduction z CD’s limited capacity and slow throughput bit rate made it unsuitable for high bandwidth or larger volume applications such as high quality digital video. z In 1994, Sony and Philips proposed the MultiMedia Compact Disc (MMCD). In 1995, Toshiba and Time Warner proposed the Super Density Disc (SD). z A consortium of manufacturers known as The DVD Forum was formed to develop the DVD families of formats. z Several working groups were charged with the development of different formats and aspects within the family. z The DVD families include DVD-Video, DVD-ROM, DVD- R/RW, DVD-RAM, and DVD-Audio. DVDDVD FamiliesFamilies IntroductionIntroduction z The DVD file system uses elements of the UDF, ISO 9660 and ISO 13346 specifications. DVD-Video uses MPEG video coding and Dolby Digital audio coding, and DVD-Audio uses multiple types of coding. z Whereas the CD was designed as an audio storage format, DVD was designed as an universal storage platform. z The CD is also a “simple” format designed to work with or without microprocessors in the player. In contrast, DVD is based on sophisticated microprocessor control to read its file structure and interact with the disc and its content. z Most importantly, the Red Book CD was designed to play back a continuous stream of data thus addressing was not needed. In contrast, DVD is founded on the premise that all data will be addressable and randomly accessible.
