DigiTimes bring us news about aFujifilms plans to introduce Blu-ray media production in 2006.
"!n line with this year’s introduction of next-generation Blu-ray and HD DVD devices and the increasing penetration of high definition TVs (HDTVs), Fuji Photo Film announced that Fujifilm-branded media for the two platforms will be available mid 2006. Prototypes of the new Fujifilm HD DVD and Blu-ray media will be on display at the Fujifilm booth at CES 2006 (Central Hall, N101/102).
According to Fuji Photo Film USA executive Steve Solomon, consumers are driving demand for interactive gaming and entertainment applications that require enormous storage capacities. With the mainstream adoption of high definition (HD) content, television sets and recording devices, consumers and retailers will need new storage technologies to handle ever-expanding digitized files. For example, a two-hour program in HD creates a digital file roughly 15-25 Gigabytes in size, or the equivalent of more than 13 hours of standard-definition TV, the company stated.
The company is also pushing to develop holographic storage technologies that will bring future generation, multiple terabyte optical storage capacity to consumer, entertainment and commercial applications.
A single terabyte of holographic disc storage is roughly the equivalent of 16 days of continuously running DVD movies, or 8,000 times more data than a human brain retains in a lifetime."
