BluFocus Assists Blu-ray Studios with Quality Control


Posted January 15, 2008 08:32 AM by Josh Dreuth

Blu-ray Movies A new company, BluFocus, has formed in order to assist movie studios with quality control checks on their Blu-ray releases. Because Blu-ray titles are sophisticated systems of video, audio, and interactive features, testing is needed to ensure that they operate on all available players flawlessly before release.

With expertise in the Blu-ray authoring language BD-Java, the company is able to run the discs through a variety of tests in order to ensure compatibility with the set standards. BluFocus is already working with several movie studios to ensure their releases will operate flawlessly for all consumers.

Thanks goes out to BluClues for submitting the news.

Sweet, maybe this will lead to less firmware updates.

BluFous, Please use the Samsung BD-P1200 as your base for testing. This player has problems with a lot of movies.

Excellent news indeed. I hope this leads to faster & quality releases from studios like Fox.

May the Blu be with you...

I hope they will also do a PICTURE QUALITY control. Found that transfer on some BR discs are the same as SD dvd picture. We are paying premium prices for HD and not to get SD

AWESOME.. This will make a lot of happy consumers with no more bugs and errors on new movie
releases!
I can't wait to see all Blu releases run through a thorough quality control so there are no more
complaints.

Dear BluFocus: Disney is doing just fine. Take what they're doing and spread it around to others.

With all of its recent issues, Warner needs to buy them, not just hire their services. I suppose most were manufacturing issues, but there's no good excuse for the T3 1080i issue.

Whatever happened to THX? I would think this sort of quality control service would be right up their
alley.

Are you serious? Why aren't the studios doing this to begin with? Do we really need this? All it's going to do is delay some titles.

I'd say, instead of coming up with a company that QA's discs, someone needs to come up with a company that QA's the hardware and firmware updates. Shouldn't all players be using the same Blu-ray specs and, therefore, all Blu-Ray movies should play just fine? My PS3 hasn't blinked at playing any Blu-Ray movies and now titles will be delayed because Samsung can't get their $#!+ together?

This is a major step forward for the format. Not sure why anyone posting above has complained, this helps the studios work it all out. Very good timing!
