The advent of Blu-ray technology has led to the introduction of high capacity storage discs to meet the demand cause by the rapid growth of high definition television (HDTV).
Blu-ray discs get their name from blue laser technology. The shorter wavelength of the laser is the reason it is blue in colour. The blue laser has a wavelength of 405nm compared with the wavelength of 650nm for DVD which utilises red laser technology. The benefit of having a blue laser with a shorter wavelength means it is possible to write smaller data pits and therefore vastly increase the amount of data on the disc.
Blu-ray discs offer 3 to 5 times the storage capacity of a standard recordable DVD disc enabling the recording rewriting and playback of high definition video (HD).
Designed to store large HD video and audio files BD-RE discs can handle up to 1080p resolution videos and multiple audio formats. Perfect for those looking for the performance and stability of Blu-Ray Recordable media but who want the flexibility to add to or overwrite their video music or data. Blue-violet laser technology means superb resolution excellent contrast vivid colors and amazing sound.
