What's a Blu-ray Disc?

The Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a next generation optical disc format for storing a large amount of data using a short wavelength blue laser to read and write. Like DVD, there are a number of BD standards, such as read only BD-ROM, recordable BD-R and rewritable BD-RE. The single largest feature of BD is its high-density data storage capacity of 25GB* per layer on one side. This lets you store many hours of content, such as movies with HD resolution and high-quality music with loss-less audio compression. BD also features a high-performance interactive function that uses Java™, called BD-J, to deliver a new video experience to users not offered by conventional video media. With many motion picture production companies and electronics, PC and gaming manufacturers expressing their support for BD, a wave of new hardware and software products are expected to hit the market soon.

Panasonic is proud to be a leader in this new market with the launch of its newest Blu-ray Disc™ Player the DMP-BD60 which is a critical component in the line up of High-Definition AV products.
