Leading Blu-ray Technology

Sony is the founder of the blu-ray technology that can store the full length movie in the format of HDTV and with the same sized disk as DVD or the CD. Purpose of the blu-ray technology was to introduce a new format for the HD audio, video and data. Its name is combination of two words “blue” & “ray”. This name refers to the blue laser used in this disk format. Blu-ray disk format is gaining more attention and success because of its outstanding performance and large capacity to store data.

Keeping in view the growing demand of the blu-ray disk format, the major movie studios plan to release their movies in the blu-ray format. The blu-ray DVD can record nearly five times more amount of data than the traditional DVD (4.7 GB) and 40 times in comparison to the CD. 25GB of data can reside on a single layer and 50GB on the dual layer blu-ray disk. This is amazingly very high capacity and the blue-violet laser helps the disk to record such high volumes of data on the disk whose size is the same as that of the Digital Versatile Disc DVD.

The supporters of the blu-ray format are increasing rapidly. Not only the leading studios but also the companies related to video games, computers and music are also backing this technology. Blu-ray disk format provides excellent opportunity and facility to the users of high-definition and the people related to the video productions who wish to upgrade to editing and High-definition kit. Blu-ray has the latest technology and features that protect the user’s investment and also help them to tackle the increasing demands and requirements of their clients.

Blu-ray also fulfills the needs of large data archiving. The blu-ray drives are now being installed more common in offices and homes. Most of the computer systems are shipped nowadays with blu-ray drives. After the launch of Sony PlayStation-3, most of the home users have switched to the blu-ray technology. Blu-ray disk format is winning the competition over the other DVD formats and more businesses and people are shifting towards the blu-ray technology.

The users enjoy more watching movie using the blu-ray disk as compared to the DVD. The picture result of blu-ray is sharper. The blu-ray disks have 9 x 16 (HD-video) and DTS 5.1, Dolby 5.1, Dolby7.1 (high quality audio). Recording of HDTV can be done without any interruption and loss of data or resolution by the blu-ray technology. With the viewers, blu-ray can have more dynamic interaction with the help of the Java ME applications that run on the system.
