Do you want the ultimate in high definition entertainment experience? Do you want to bring your favorite movies to life with a crystal clear picture and beautiful surround sound? Well, now you can thanks to the technology provided by the Blu-ray DVD.
Blu-ray technology was designed with the purpose of being able to record and rewrite for high definition technology. On top of this they can also store large amounts of data. With a Blu-ray disc you get more than five times the storage capacity of a traditional DVD as they can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual layer disc. The extra capacity as well as the combined use of advanced video and audio codecs means that with Blu-ray you are being presented with unprecedented HD experience. The extra capacity allows for more features and bonuses. Plus the discs are resistant to dirt and scratches.
The reason that Blu-ray is the ultimate in high definition is down to the laser that is used to read the discs. Current optical disc technology, for example DVD, DVDR and DVD-RW as well as DVD-RAM are all read and written using a red laser; Blu-ray however used a blue-violet laser instead, which is where it gets its name from. So what is the difference? Well the main benefit of using the blue-violet laser is that it has a shorter wavelength than a red laser. The red laser is 650nm, whereas the blue-violet laser is 405nm. This makes it possible to focus the laser spot with even greater precision.
You can get a player from many of the major manufacturers. Even Sony’s Play station 3 model comes with a built in blu ray disc player. Many laptops also come with blu ray technology.
In order for you to enjoy all of the benefits that Blu-ray technology has to offer you will need a number of things such as a HDTV with HDMI cables to ensure the best picture quality. On top of this you will of course need a form of Blu-ray player and Blu-ray discs. It is however possible to play standard DVD’s on a Blu-ray player; if you are doing this however it should be noted that they will play in their normal quality and not be presented in Blu-ray standard. Also you are unable to play Blu-ray DVD discs on anything other than a Blu-ray player.
The technology is here to stay, and almost all existing movies will be converted to blu ray format. All new movies released on DVD are available in Blu Ray now. There is no sign of any change coming.
Be part of the new trend instead of trailing. Blu ray is going to give you the best possible picture quality. Get you system today and enjoy the benefits it has to offer.
