Pioneer Electronics has announced the BDR-101A, a Blu-ray-based recorder that is expected to begin shipping in the first quarter of 2006. No pricing has been announced to date.

This first-generation product will be targeted primarily to professional users and serious enthusiasts, generally the first to adopt new technology. In particular, content creators will depend on Blu-ray Disc writers to test and evaluate high definition consumer Blu-ray Disc titles during the authoring process before replication.

The drive will come equipped with a data recording application to transfer digital files to Blu-ray Discs. As the market for high definition video camcorders grows, Pioneer says that users will increasingly rely on the Blu-ray Disc drive to store massive amounts of HD video. Likewise, a person with a television tuner on his or her personal computer could use the drive to record high definition television shows for later viewing. The drive also will be able to play consumer Blu-ray Disc movie titles on BD-ROM discs and will play and record standard DVD media. As one of the first products to utilize Blu-ray Disc technology, the drive significantly increases storage capacity, while reducing the number of discs currently needed to back up computer hard drives, digital files and applications. "

The half height BDR-101A Blu-ray Disc/DVD writer will read BD-ROM/R/RE, DVD-ROM/DVD-R/DVD-RW and +R/+RW discs. It offers the following write speeds:

BD-R/RE (2X)

DVD-R/+R (8X)

DVD-RW/+RW (4X)

Escient Serves Up New Media Mgmt. Device

2005-12-27T00:29:00.000-08:00

The Content of this post is provied by Designtechnica.com

The DVDM-552 and companion MP-200 will allow users to control and view DVDs/CDs in compatible mega-disc changers from any room in the house.

Escient, a division of D&M Holdings which focuses on digital media management products, last week announced two new components designed to be tied to mega-disc DVD/CD changers. The FireBall DVDM-552 and the FireBall MP-200 Digital Media Player are priced at $5,999 and $999 respectively and should be available in March 2006.

The Fireball DVDM-552, said Escient, allows users to manage up to 2,000 DVDs or CDs through an on-screen menu guide. DVDs and CDs loaded into in a mega-disc changer controlled by the DVDM-552 are cataloged via online disc recognition services which send metadata and cover art back to the Escient box to be stored on its 500GB hard drive. In addition, over 8,000 CDs worth of music can be stored on this drive via the DVDM-552’s CD-RW drive.

DVD viewing can be extended beyond the main room when the DVDM-552 is connected to the FireBall MP-200 Digital Media Player. MP-200 allows users to stream DVDs and stored music across a home network to a second room, allowing for two movies to be watched at the same time. Each MP-200 hooked up to the network uses its own on-screen interface for navigation and disc selection.

“As we celebrate our 10th Anniversary in 2006, our continuing mission is to give our valued custom installation customers the best-in-class products and system-building options that will let them create customized home entertainment systems with unprecedented features and capabilities, both for convenience and for multi-room entertainment,” said Bernie Sepaniak, president of D&M Holdings’ ReplayTV, Escient and ACT divisions. “The DVDM-552, along with the companion MP-200, provides the leading-edge, high-wow-factor features and solutions that support the high-end pricing custom installation experts require, and they represent the pinnacle of media management technology today.”

Will Sony win out?

Blu-ray and HD-DVD technologies are getting closer and movie studios have aligned themselves with the respective camps or both at the same time. What is becoming increasingly of concern to both movie studios and disc manufacturers are some of the manufacturing realities of the new formats.

For most of the year consumers have seen the occasional news item on the differences between the technologies and how both sides offer the better solution. One side claims more storage and the other comes out with a new specification in size and this cycle has continued throughout the year. Both formats will give a High Density (HD) level of picture and more features.

Blu-ray appears to have the edge in the market at the moment with movie studios telling us they will have movies for the consumer in 2006. HD-DVD has replied by saying they will give the technology to the Chinese mass producers to flood the market where a similar strategy gave VHS a win over Betamax.

For some time now my support has been behind the HD-DVD camp for a couple of simple reasons - compatibility and price - and it is this last that appears to now be gaining weight as a valid concern for the manufacturers. The Blu-ray product will be more expensive to produce and it will cost the consumer more. The questions are, by how much and for how long"

Let's face it: When it comes to technology, especially the mass market kind, the bottom line for the consumer is cost. If a disc costs $20 (820 baht) for one and $30 (1,230 baht) for the other and they appear to be as good as each other, then the average consumer will chose the $20 version. If the machines are different prices and they do the same job then once again the consumer will go for the lower cost units. The big question is how much will this price difference be"

According to some tests, for example, an HD-DVD manufacturing line will pump out early twice as many useable discs as a similar Blu-ray line. When it comes to the hardware, component costs can also be nearly twice as much because some of the pieces required for the manufacturing process are still hard to find. Sony has challenged these figures but does not have any accurate cost estimates itself at this time but it claims that it will be small.

There are other concerns. The HD-DVD process uses very similar technologies to current DVD and CD production. The Blu-ray system uses a high-tech film layer currently produced only by Sony. Retooling estimates are currently about 10 times for Blu-ray over HD-DVD. Also without a clear winner in advance, supporting both formats for a few years is going to cost the whole industry billions of dollars over that period compared to a single clear winner.

As next year gets closer, the consumer should be wondering if all of the promises will come true, i.e., that Blu-ray units and media will eventually be the same price as HD-DVD, that movie studios will indeed manufacture discs with both formats at the same price or at least with an HD version on one side and a regular DVD version on the other.

Now consider that your TV will not be able to play the new discs or at least it will not support HD's 1,000-line resolution. Take a walk around your local TV store and see how many units you are looking at support the high quality HD standards. Even if you have all the technology what is the new video codec (coder-decoder) going to be"
Microsoft wants to see its VC-1 technology used and until very recently the challenger was the patented technology, MPEG-4 AVC. Then as usual Sony dropped its standard spanner into the works and announced its own new codec. This means that Sony pictures at least will be releasing the first of its Blu-ray discs using the 11-year-old MPEG-2 standard, the same one you see in your current DVD player. If you don't see any problems with this remember the MP3-vs-Sony proprietary codec that no one wanted to use.

Don't decide right now because it is getting even more convoluted that this. The new codecs don't necessarily give you any better picture quality, just allow you to compress more video information onto a disc. Sony tells us that their smallest disc will be 25GB, so a high compression codec isn't required. However Warner is planning to release a modified "Blu-ray" disc with 9GB of storage, i.e., the same storage as a current dual-layer DVD, to keep costs down. Since 9GB isn't enough storage to hold a full HD movie they will be considering the Microsoft VC-1 format. 20th Century Fox, on the other hand, is leaning towards the MPEG4-AVC format.

So where does that leave Jane and Johnny consumer" In a compete mess. When the dust finally settles sometime in the coming year there will be multiple choices for the consumer. They will need to get a better television set and they will have a number of choices to select from. If all things are equal, or close to it, then this will mean a clear standard or winner will not become obvious during 2006. If there is a price difference of more than say 20 per cent then the consumer will make their decision quite early and by Christmas 2006 we should know who lost the race.

At the very least it should be clear what a consumer needs to do, i.e., buy the right disc for the right machine and no matter what the technology it should play just as easily as a DVD does in current machines. What Sony executives seem not to have come to grips with over the past years is that it is no longer true that people will buy it just because it is a Sony. This latest decision to drop everything and build their own codec and so release the first batch of Blu-ray DVDs using MPEG-2 coding could again backfire on the electronics giant. Time will tell.

As usual installation was quick and painless. The first time you use it, it takes a bit longer to start up as it is checking for compatibilities. One very nice feature was the detection in my case of an incompatible Yahoo bar. I was given the option to check for a newer version, which it found and installed for me, i.e., painless.

Even if you are not going to use any of the latest features, upgrade your current copy.

HP goes HD DVD

Blu-ray no longer the 'superior format'

HP has formally embraced HD DVD, the next-generation optical disc format it has been opposing for the past few years.

The PC maker will no longer support Blu-ray Disc exclusively, the company said on Friday. It will also join the HD DVD Promotion Group, the Toshiba-led industry consortium of HD DVD backers. Supporting both formats probably makes sense in the short term, while the two disc types face up and battle it out for the hearts and minds not only of consumers, but also computer users looking for next-generation, high-capacity storage media.

That said, HP's move seems driven more by pique than pragmatism. It asked the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), of which it's just one of over 70 member companies, to add two features, Mandatory Managed Copy and iHD support, to the format. While MMC is now part of the specification - it allows a disc's content to be duplicated temporarily to, for example, stream it across a home network to a second TV - iHD isn't.

iHD is Microsoft's HD-oriented interactivity sub-system, and will ship with Windows Vista. The BDA has already chosen Java as the BD format's interactivity foundation, and has said that while it will consider including iHD in a future iteration of the specification, it's not going to delay BD's debut to shoehorn it in.

Sorry, HP effectively said, that's just not good enough, and we'll support HD DVD if you don't do what we want. So there.

And now it has. Both Microsoft and Intel have thrown their weight behind HD DVD, and we can't help wondering if that hasn't swayed HP into edging away from the Sony-led BD camp. Ironically, HP said only three months ago that BD had the support of the "vast majority" of computer industry, including Dell and Apple, before going on to say how clearly superior BD is to HD DVD.

No longer, it seems. Compare and contrast:

“[iHD] integration will reduce development costs and provide a more affordable solution for consumers,” HP said in a statement issued Friday. “In addition, HD-DVD provides a rich, cost-competitive solution for the consumer and is easier to manufacture."

And this, while rebutting "erroneous" claims from Microsoft:

"From a PC end-user perspective, Blu-ray is a superior format. It offers 67-150 per cent more storage capacity, higher transfer rates, slimline notebook compatibility, broadband connectivity and a proven interactive layer with BD-Java," said Maureen Weber, general manager of HP's Personal Storage Business, in September...

Blu-ray seems to be winning the DVD format war

2005-12-14T05:11:00.000-08:00

The Blu-ray Disc Association has announced that it is supported by the majority of the computer industry, latest backer being no other than Apple Computer. The majority of the computer industry means 90% of the consumer electronics producers and 7 major film labels. Only Microsoft misses from the list.

TDK Corp. has announced on Thursday that is has begun producing samples of recordable and rewritable Blu-ray Disc bare media for consumer use. Commercial Blu-ray Disc media has come in a protective cartridge until now, but the Blu-ray disc Association is finalizing the specifications for bare discs.

Andy Parson, Senior Vice President of Advanced Product Development for Pioneer Electronics, stated "Currently, DVD has 50,000 titles presently available, and both formats will co-exist for several years to come with new [Blue-ray Disc] players supporting both formats."

Blu-ray compatible DVD players are to be launched to market early 2006. The players will support both classic DVD and Blu-ray DVD formats.

TDK said it will produce disks with capacities varying from 25 to 50 GB. The discs make use of a TDK-developed hard protective coating, which minimizes scratches to their surface and allows the use of discs without cartridges.

Maxell and the Future of Optical Storage Media

2005-12-01T01:53:00.000-08:00

The content of this posting is provide by Bytesector.com

Maxell Corporation of America, the technological leader in advanced recordable media, and InPhase Technologies are bringing a revolutionary technology to market - holographic media. With uncompressed storage capacities achieving 1.6 TeraBytes per disk and data rates as high as 120 MBPs, holographic technology is a true breakthrough in optical media. These features, along with a long archival life, make holographic media a compelling choice for storage and archival requirements.

Holographic data storage is superior to existing disc and hard drive technologies, and is also competitive against tape technologies in capacities and transfer rate. In addition, it offers a 50+ year media archive life and random data access. Finally, the media is expected to have the lowest cost per gigabyte of any commercial quality removable storage.

"Holographic media makes it possible for millions of pages of information and high definition images to be held on one small, relatively inexpensive disc," said Steven Pofcher, senior marketing manager at Maxell. "Imagine having a person's entire medical history, complete with MRI images, or storing a broadcast network's entire HD Library on a single disc. These are both possible with holographic technology, which has such large capacity that approximately a half million 300-page books can be stored on a single disc."

Holographic recording technology utilizes intersecting signal and reference laser beams to store data in a number of 3D hologram images capable of saving hundreds of data pages in a single location. One 5¼ inch-diameter optical disc can store up to 150 million pages - more than 63 times the capacity of DVD. Also, with holographic recording, a multiple of form factors, such as discs, cards, etc., and laser wavelengths (red, green, and blue) can be used.

"Combining high storage densities and fast transfer rates with durable, reliable, low cost media, Holographic technology is poised to become a compelling choice for next-generation storage and content distribution needs," said Liz Murphy, vice president of marketing for InPhase Technologies. "Unlike other technologies that record one data bit at a time, holography allows a million bits of data to be written and read in parallel with a single flash of light. This enables transfer rates significantly higher than current optical storage devices."

The first generation of holographic media with 300 GB of storage capacity and a 20 MBPs Transfer Rate is scheduled for release in late 2006.

Maxell to launch holographic storage next year

2005-11-30T01:16:00.000-08:00

The technology dream of storing terabytes of data on a single disk has taken a step closer to reality

Information storage media company Maxell has said it will launch its first holographic storage products in September 2006. The first drive will have a capacity of 300GB and a throughput of 160Mbps.

Holographic storage works by storing information using light-sensitive crystals. Because it uses the whole volume of the disk, not just the surface, it's possible to store much more information than is possible on a DVD.

With a single holographic disk able to store 1.6 million high-resolution colour photos or over 240 hours of TV broadcast, holographic storage is starting to draw the attention of many in the IT industry.

"Holographic media makes it possible for millions of pages of information and high definition images to be held on one small, relatively inexpensive disc," said Steven Pofcher, senior marketing manager at Maxell.

"Imagine having a person's entire medical history, complete with MRI images, or storing a broadcast network's entire HD [high-definition] Library on a single disc. These are both possible with holographic technology, which has such large capacity that approximately half a million 300-page books can be stored on a single disc."

Holographic recording technology uses intersecting signal and reference laser beams to store data in a number of 3D holographic images.

According to Maxell, one 13cm optical disc can store up to 150 million pages — more than 63 times the capacity of DVD.

Earlier this month, Turner Entertainment's vice-president of broadcast technology Ron Tarasoff said his company is planning to sell holographic disks that will retail for $100, and which in five years time will have a capacity of 1.6TB each.

"That's pretty inexpensive," said Tarasoff. "Even the first versions can store 300GB per disk, and it has 160Mbps data throughput rates. That's burning. Then combine it with random access, and it's the best of all worlds."

The technology also has an impressive lineage. Hitachi-owned Maxell is working with InPhase Technologies, a subsidiary of Lucent, which has led development of holographic media.

D-Link MediaLounge Wireless Media Player with DVD

2005-11-25T02:04:00.000-08:00

The content of this post is provide by wi-fiplanet.com

D-Link 's Media Lounge Wireless Media Player with DVD takes Wi-Fi into long overdue territory. Unlike most wireless media players, the new MediaLounge is as much consumer electronics device as networking peripheral.

In fact, the DSM-320RD, a 802.11g device, can function quite nicely without a network. Its disc player lets you play DVD, SVCD, CD-RW, MP3, VCD, CD-R, audio CD and DVD±RW discs, and the two memory card slots let you show digital photos stored on SD (Secure Digital), MMC (MultiMedia Card), Compact Flash (Type I and II) and Memory Stick cards.

Also unlike some other products in this category – including the new Squeeze Box from Slim Devices and D-Link's own MediaLounge Wireless Music Player DSM-120 - this MediaLounge can send any kind of digital media over a Wi-Fi network: music, video and images stored on network-connected PCs, plus Internet radio.

At $285 and much less in some places , the price seems about right. There is much to like about the product, including generally great performance. But there is also much that is annoying.

NEC Unveils 'LabelFlash' Burners

2005-11-21T20:09:00.000-08:00

The Content is provide by dvd-recordable.org

NEC has said its first DVD burners with Labelflash technology will be available from December onwards. Labelflash burns custom motifs, lettering or images onto the top side of DVD media.

NEC's ND-3551A

The drives will not only support DVD +R(W) and DVD-R(W) but also DVD-RAM.

Labelflash delivers high image quality because it enables 256 brightness shades. The labelling process takes only around seven minutes. One special feature is that both the top side and the data side of the blank can be labelled - provided that there is enough available memory.

Labelflash can be used for blanks with a writable Labelflash top surface. On these media, the labelled top surface is covered by 0.6 millimetre-thick, protect layer which ensures that even labels that are exposed to light are extremely durable.

The burner supports DVD-R and DVD+R media recording at up to 16x DVD speed, while rewritable (DVD +RW) and double-layer DVDs (DVD +R9) are written at up to 8x DVD speed. DVD-RW and DVD-R DL are processed at 6x speed. 5x speed applies for DVD-RAMs. As a read drive, the burner delivers 16x DVD, 5x DVD RAM and 48x CD speed. NEC will also be marketing a lower cost model without Labelflash, the ND-4550A, which has the same write and read speeds as the ND-4551A.

The two new DVD burners ND-3551A (with Labelflash) and ND-3550A (without Labelflash) are also available in two further versions which do not support DVDRAM.

What is HD DVD?

2005-11-21T00:03:00.000-08:00

HD DVD (High Definition Digital Versatile Disc) is a digital optical media format being developed for high-definition DVD. HD DVD is similar to the competing Blu-ray Disc, which also uses the same CD sized (120 mm diameter) optical data storage media and 405 nm wavelength blue laser.

HD DVD is promoted by Toshiba, NEC, Sanyo, and more recently Microsoft, and Intel, and may be non-exclusively backed by four major studios: New Line Cinema, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios and Warner Bros.

HD DVD has a single layer capacity of 15 GB and a dual-layer capacity of 30 GB. Toshiba has announced a triple-layer disc is in development, which would offer 45GB of storage. This is smaller than its primary competitor Blu-ray Disc, which supports 25GB for one layer, 50GB for two and 100GB for four, but HD DVD proponents point out that multi-layer Blu-ray discs are still in development.

Both formats will be backwards compatible with DVDs and both employ the same video compression techniques: MPEG-2, Video Codec 1 (VC1, based on the Windows Media 9 format) and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.
