Pioneer To Ship Combo HD DVD/Blu-ray Burner Next Year
According to an article at Reg Hardware, Pioneer will ship a combo HD DVD/Blu-ray burner next year. The company also plans to release a version of the BDR-102 with a SATA interface.
The first new drive, the BDR-102 will also support CD-R/RW discs, another disc format missing from the company's current product, the BDR-101. The BDR-102 is due to ship early next year, possibly in two versions, one with an IDE interface, the other with a SATA connector. It's not clear at what speeds the BDR-102 will write single- and dual-layer, 25GB and 50GB BD-R and BD-RE discs.
Further out, the BDR-103 will bring on board support for HD DVD, presumably recordable and rewriteable versions of the format as well as pre-recorded discs.
TDK Announces Blue Laser Disc Technology To Support 200GB Capacity
TDK sent out a press release this morning announcing that they've developed a blue laser technology capable of storing 200GB of data or 18 hours worth of high definition video onto a single disc.
TDK, a world leader in digital recording solutions, has reached a landmark in the development of recordable blue laser technology, achieving a groundbreaking capacity of 200GB. Surpassing existing optical media technologies several times over, a 200GB blue laser disc would double the capacity of TDK's existing 100GB Blu-ray prototype. One of TDK's new 200GB blue laser discs could store approximately 18 hours of high definition video (encoded at 24Mbps).
The initial Blu-ray Disc standard allows for 25GB single layer Blu-ray Discs and 50GB dual layer Blu-ray Discs. However, a recent signal processing innovation stretches the physical limits of optical media, realizing 33.3GB capacity for each of the disc's six layers. As with the 100GB disc, and other Blu-ray Disc media, TDK's 200GB blue laser disc is single sided.
Lite-On Supports Blu-Ray And HD-DVD
Lite-On Europe has officially announced that they will be supporting both Blu-ray and HD-DVD. According to their press release, the company will have its BDP-X1 Blu-ray Disc player and HDP-Z1 HD-DVD player on display at this year's IFA.
On this year’s IFA, from 1-6 September in Berlin, Lite-On will present its first High Definition playback devices. Besides a previously announced Blu-ray Disc player, Lite-On will also show an HD-DVD player. This means that in the “battle” of the two new formats, Lite-On takes a neutral position. Lite-On believes that both formats will stay in the market for some time, and therefore decided to support both. In the end, the market will decide which format, if any, will win.
Now we just need a player that supports both formats. No word on price. However, Lite-On is planning on launching the BDP-X1 and HDP-Z1 in the first half of 2007. _________________ Wenn ich all mein Equipment aufzählen täte, ist die Seite vollgemüllt. |
