INTRODUCTION
 Blu-ray (BD) is a next-generation optical disc format.

 The format was developed to enable recording, rewriting
and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well as
storing large amounts of data.
 The companies that have jointly established the BD
specifications are
 Hitachi, Ltd
 LG Electronics
 Matsushitha Electrical Industrial Co. Ltd
 Mitsubishi Electric Corporarion
(Contd…)
 Pioneer Corporation
 Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd
 Sony
 Thomson
 Royal Phillips Electronics
 Sharp Corporation
 The name Blu-ray is derived from the blue-violet laser it
uses to read and write to the disc.
 The “e” was intentionally left out of the name due to
trademark restrictions
CHARACTERISTICS OF BLU-
RAY
 Life Span
 Content Protection
 Cost
 Capacity
 Robustness of disc
 Compatible
Life Span
 In the case of ordinary discs, the disc life is less .
 In the rewritable versions, as re-writing is done repeatedly
to one area of the disc most probably, the inner perimeter
limiting the disc life.
 BDFS (Blu-ray Disc File Structure is designed so as to
avoid this problem, by using a system that uses free disc
spaces with equal frequency
Content Protection
 Strongest content and copy protection schemes ever
developed
 Incorporation of Robust copy mechanism
Cost
Long term Profitability model for content
Providers
Cheapest Production cost
Capacity
 The Blu-ray disc enables the recording, rewriting and
playback of HD video up to 27 GB of data on a single
sided single layer. It is enough to put 2.5 hours of
HDTV recording on it. It also can record over 13 hours
of standard TV broadcasting
Robustness of Disc
 Stronger resistance to scratches and fingerprints The
protective layer is hard enough to prevent accidental
abrasions and allows fingerprints to be removed by
wiping the disc with a tissue.
Compatible
The BD drives are designed to be backward
compatible, i.e. CDs and DVDs work equally
well with the BD drives.

Blu-ray disc and CD’s /DVD’s
(Comparison Between Blu-ray n others)
 1 DVD = 5 to 10 CD’s
 1 Blu-ray = 5 to 10 DVD’s !!!!!!
 Usage of a blue instead of a red laser
 Improved lens specifications
 Backward compatibility
Blu-ray Disc Applications
 High definition television recording

 High definition video distribution
 High definition camcorder archiving
 Mass data storage
High definition television
recording
 The Blu-ray Disc format offers consumers the ability to
record their High Definition television broadcasts in
their original quality for the first time, preserving the
pure picture and audio level as offered by the
broadcaster.
 Next level in home entertainment, offering an

unsurpassed user experience Since Blu-ray Disc format
incorporates the strongest copy protection algorithms of
any format or proposal to date, the format allows for
recording of digital broadcasts while meeting the
content protection demands of the broadcast industry.
High Definition Video Distribution
 Blu-ray Disc format can store High Definition video in the

highest possible quality, without need to compromise on
picture quality.
 Depending on the encoding method, there is room for more

than seven hours of the highest HD quality video. There is even
room for additional content such as special features and other
bonus material to accompany the High Definition movie.
 The Blu-ray Disc movie format greatly expands on traditional

DVD capabilities, by incorporating many new interactive
features allowing content providers to offer an even more
incredible experience to consumers.
High Definition Camcorder Archiving
 With its unprecedented storage capacity, allows for the

HD video recorded with an HD camcorder to be
converted and recorded
 Storage capabilities, without the risk of tape wear
Mass Data Storage
 The growing number of broadband connections

allowing consumers to download vast amounts of data
Conclusion
Very soon BD’s will replace CDs and DVDs
