Blu-ray dvd player
What is Blu-ray?
Blu-ray is the latest disc format
designed to play and record high definition
content. Blu-ray was jointly developed by
the Blu-ray disc association, which is a group
of manufacturers and consumer electronics
leaders including Sony, Apple, Samsung, Dell,
Panasonic and Pioneer among others.
Why the name blu-ray? Blu-ray players
use a blue laser that is more precise then
the current laser in DVD players.
Benefits of Blu-ray
- The biggest benefit of upgrading to
Blu-ray is it's ability to playback high
definition content which is more then 5
times the detail of standard definition DVD
players.
- In addition to increased video detail,
Blu-ray offers support for enhanced audio
playback such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD
Master Audio which both offer lossless
digital audio for a truly immersing
audio experience.
- Blu-ray also offers a huge storage
capacity of 25GB for a single layer
disc and 50GB for a double layer disc which
is more then 5 times that of standard
discs. There is also support for
multi-layer discs that offer even greater
storage capacity in the future.
- Advanced interactive menus allow users
to bring up menus during the movie to
allow for all kinds of innovative uses of
the technology.

Blu-ray Recorders
Blu-ray will also look to add Blu-ray
recorders in the future as more and more
consumers are adding high definition tvs to
their home theaters. Blu-ray recorders
high data transfer rates allow consumers
to record and archive high definition content
to disc. Blu-ray recorders
may include hard disk drives allowing
them to playback recorded content as well as
record high definition content at the same time
in a manner similar to a DVR except with
the obvious benefit of being able
to burn content to a disc.
A Blu-ray dvd player is a great addition to
your home theater and will allow you to watch
movies with a whole new level of stunning audio
and video detail.
