BLU-RAY DISC
HISTORY
1st GENERATION:Compact disc (CD): --- 650/700 MBIt is with us for over 20 years.Wavelength of laser which reads data:
780 nmColor of laser: Red 2nd GENERATION:Digital versatile disc (DVD): --- 4.7 GBIt offers high quality sound and video
than CD.Wavelength of laser which reads data:
650 nmColor of laser: Red
HISTORY3rd GENERATION:
Blu-ray disc (BD): --- 25/50 GB-Next generation optical disc format.-Developed by blu-ray disc association (which
includes Apple, Hitachi, HP, LG, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony)
-Wavelength of laser which reads data: 405 nm-Color of laser: Blue-violet
FORMAT OF BD
It comes in four different formats:BD-ROM (read only) : for reading
recorded content.BD-R (recordable) : for PC data storage.BD-RW (rewritable) : for PC data
storage.BD-RE (rewritable) : for HDTV (high
definition television) recording.
TYPES OF BD:SINGLE LAYER :- Can hold data up to 25/27 GB
that means 2 hrs of HD video or about 13 hrs of standard video.
DOUBLE LAYER :- Can hold data up to 50 GB that
means 4.5 hrs of HD video or more than 20 hrs of standard video.
THE TECHNOLOGYPits : spiral grooves
that run from the centre of the disc to its edges
Bumps : other sides of these edges.
Track pitch : it is the distance between the two tracks (of pits) on the surface.
--------------------------------Disc store digitally
encoded data in PITS.
--------------------------------
THE TECHNOLOGY
So, in blu-ray disc:Pit size – 0.15 microns
( more than twice as small as the pits on DVD )
Track-pitch is : 0.32 microns
Laser needed : blue-violet laser (405 nm)
Data transfer rate : 36 Mbps
COMPARISON IN BUILDING BD AND DVD
BD Data is placed on top of
a 1.1 mm thick polycarbonate layer
Doesn’t suffer from BIREFRINGENCE
Doesn’t suffer from DISC TILT
Hard coating is placed outside to protect from scratches or fingerprints
DVD Data is sandwiched b/w
two polycarbonate layers, each 0.6 mm thick
Suffer from BIREFRINGENCE
Suffer from DISC TILT
No such hard coating is placed
BLU RAY ‘S DURABILITY ADVANTAGE Various hard coating technologies make Bly
ray disc most durable and family -friendly” Hard-coating technology provides
resistance to:
- Finger prints
- Marks
- Scratches
- Dust Much more ROBUST than today’s
polycarbonate-based CD/DVD’s (and HD DVD’s)
FEATURES OF BDWith BD we can: Record HDTV without any quality loss Instantly skip to any spot on disc Record one program while watching other on
the disc Create playlists Edit or reorder programs recorded on disc Automatically search for an empty space on
the disc to avoid recording over a program Access to web to download subtitles and
other extra features And many more…
BLY-RAY’S DENSITY ADVANTAGE
Higher density enables better data seek times
Shorter to travel for same amount of data results in faster data seek
Better for random access of data
THE NAMEThe blu-ray name is a combination
of “blue”, for the color of the laser that is used and “ray” for optical ray.
The “e” in “blue” was purposefully left off, according to the manufacturers, because an everyday word cannot be a trademark.
On GAURDBlu-ray discs are better armed
than current DVD’s. They come equipped with a secure encryption system– a unique ID that protects against video piracy and copyright infringement.
DO MORE WITH BLU…More capacity, Density and
PerformanceMore Industry Support/Consumer
