Panasonic and Sony promises to bring the capacity of Blu-ray disc to 67 GB

Tuesday, January 5, 2010

Japanese corporations Panasonic and Sony have developed a technology that allows for one-third increase capacity Blu-ray discs. Recall now the capacity of a single layer Blu-ray Disc is 25 GB, dual-layer disc, respectively - 50 GB. Thus, with the help of new technology the amount of data recorded on one layer, reaches 33.4 GB, which could result in the creation of Blu-ray disc capacity of 66.8 GB.



New technology developed by Japanese scientists, is called i-MLSE (Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation). With its help to better define the quality of the optical drive that allows devices to write and read Blu-ray discs to work with higher thresholds and, consequently, better read and write information.

It is interesting that this technology is mainly a policy framework that avoids the release of new equipment to work with Blu-ray high-capacity drives. Some companies, however, have to make changes to hardware components produced by Blu-ray players and other devices, responsible for the computing process, because it requires a great performance.

Sony has hoped that the technology i-MLSE will eventually widely accepted standard and is likely to propose the organization of Blu-ray Disc Association to register this technology as part of the specification format Blu-ray. This technology will allow members of BDA, which includes such well-known companies like Apple, Dell, LG and Samsung, to produce equipment, which makes it possible to record on Blu-ray media more data.
