Blue Laser Technology: Revolutionizing the Broadcast Industry The introduction of blue laser technology heralds the beginning of a new era in video production and distribution, offering never before available possibilities for shooting, editing and distributing digital video. The massive 23.3GB storage capacity of the TDK blue laser disc for Sony's "Professional Disc" systems enables up to 85 minutes of video footage at DVCAM mode to be captured on a single disc. A low-resolution Proxy AV data can then be uploaded to an editing facility via Internet and immediately edited and distributed. TDK's blue laser disc for the "Professional Disc" system is designed for use with Sony's XDCAM(TM) camcorders and decks for broadcast news, electronic field production environments and post-production facilities. The disc is optimized for the 405nm laser wavelength and high numerical aperture (.85) lens employed by the Sony system, yielding the ultimate in recording and playback performance. The disc's 23.3GB capacity is almost five times that of standard DVD media, and its high 72Mbps/head data transfer rate is capable of handling a 50Mbps MPEG IMX data stream. In addition, it is rewritable more than 1,000 times to provide cost efficiency to the professional user.
