Ceatec Japan 2003 was recently held and showed a lot of promise for the future of Blu-ray (not Bluray, Blueray or Blue-ray). Among the companies showcasing new prototypes at the exhibit were JVC, Panasonic, Pioneer, Sharp and Sony. The Blu-ray Disc Founders are currently working on 2x speed (72Mbps) versions of their Blu-ray disc recorders as well as finalizing the specs for v2.0 of the format which includes support for BD-R (recordable) and BD-ROM (read-only) discs. They plan to have the specification finished by the summer of 2004. Check out the image galleries for some new photos of Blu-ray Disc recorders and media displayed at the trade show.
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and the existing nine Blu-ray Disc Founders
(BDF) today announced that Mitsubishi Electric has become a member
company of BDF. Mitsubishi Electric has taken a leading role in the
development of optical disc technology in the relevant industries over the
years, and has been focusing on blue laser technology as an important
element in establishing the next generation high density and high-grade
optical disc recording technology.
Sony has taken the wraps off the first commercial consumer-use video
recorder that uses blue-laser technology. The BDZ-S77 will go on sale in
Japan next month. It is based on the Blu-ray optical disc format announced
just over a year ago. The nine consumer electronics companies behind it are
promoting it as a system for recording high-definition television broadcasts.
Hitachi, Ltd., LG Electronics Inc., Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., Pioneer Corporation, Royal Philips Electronics, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Sharp Corporation, Sony Corporation, and Thomson today announced the start of licensing of the rewritable format of "Blu-ray Disc", the large capacity optical disc utilizing blue-violet laser. Licensing will commence as of February 17, 2003. The introduction of products based on "Blu-ray Disc", the first optical disc format capable of recording High Definition broadcasts, will enable the enjoyment of even greater picture quality within the home.
