Blu-ray Disc - A Perfect Choice?

You are a photographer. You want to offer your clients new services beyond the traditional imaging business in order to open new markets and to develop new streams of revenue. You´ve heard of the new Blu-ray Disc, the potential successor to the good old DVD. A disc that provides superior quality and seems perfect for your slideshow movies. You care, because to impress your clients and to stay on top of technical developments is part of your business.

The Bigger Picture

Blu-ray Disc is a next-generation, optical disc format that enables the ultimate high-def entertainment experience. In short, Blu-ray Disc provides these key features and advantages:

• The Blu-ray Disc delivers a picture resolution up to full 1080p video with pristine picture quality - 4X better than a standard DVD.

• Blu-ray Disc offers up to 5X the capacity of today's DVDs - 25 GB single layer/50 GB dual layer - enough for very big, very long slidehows.
• Picture quality depends on bit rates. A DVD can deliver 8 Megabits per second (Mbps), HDTV broadcasts 10 Mbps. Blu-ray Disc outshines them all with up to 48 Mbps!
• Blu-ray Disc is supported by many of the leading consumer electronics and computing manufacturers. You can choose from many high-def playback devices including players, recorders, computers and PLAYSTATION 3.
• Other key advantages: Backward compatibility to DVD, up to 7.1 channels of native, uncompressed surround sound, and enhanced interactivity.
• Good to know for photographers: Hard-coating technologies enable Blu-ray Disc to offer the strongest resistance to scratches and fingerprints.

Why Not Do It Yourself?

If I can burn CDs and DVDs, you may think, why not Blu-ray Discs? Of course it is possible, but there a some caveats to consider: Currently, producing Blu-ray Discs not only requires expensive recording hardware and huge storage capacity for the rendering process but also - and more importantly - extensive technical know-how to get the desired quality. At this stage, pioneering a new technology this way is perhaps not an option for every professional photographer. In the end you will ask for an experienced and reliable service provider.
