SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES Presents Production Technology for 100 GB Blu-ray
Disc
- First successful production tests for 100 GB Blu-ray Disc
- Innovative production machines developed under the brand name BLULINE
III
- New ultra-high definition TV format in the spotlight at the IFA
- 100 GB Blu-ray Disc ideal for playback of movies in 4K resolution
Kahl am Main, September 10, 2013 - The SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES AG (SINGULUS
TECHNOLOGIES) developed a new replication line under the product name
BLULINE III for the manufacturing of triple-layer Blu-ray Discs with a
storage capacity of 100 GB. Production equipment by SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES
enables the production of next generation optical discs on the basis of the
current BLULINE II machines for dual-layer Blu-ray Discs.
Dr.-Ing. Stefan Rinck, Chief Executive Officer of the SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES
AG, comments: 'Just in time for the market introduction of the new
ultra-high definition television technology (4K or Ultra-HD), we completed
the development of the production technology for the new triple-layer
Blu-ray Discs with 100 GB storage capacity'. Dr. Rinck adds: 'For SINGULUS
TECHNOLOGIES, in the Optical Disc segment the year 2013 has been very
positive overall. Until the end of this year's August we received
significantly more orders for Blu-ray Disc production machines than in the
prior-year period. We also see good opportunities for the sales of our
Blu-ray production equipment in the future. The positive life cycle of the
Blu-ray Disc will continue for some years with the launch of the new
ultra-high definition television format'.
The further advancement of today's Blu-ray Discs, the triple-layer Blu-ray
Discs with 100 GB storage capacity, is the preferred playback medium for
the new 4K technology. With the realization of a new and specifically
designed data compression method for the ultra-high definition technology,
the storage volume per information layer can be increased from 25 GB to
33 GB. In its committees, the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) is currently
discussing the specifications of new, global standards. SINGULUS
TECHNOLOGIES already completed the marketable concept of a new replication
line.
