Blu-ray recorders
Reviewed by Bram P
Co-written by: Reversible Neoprene Sleeves. Presently increasing numbers of users are turning to High Definition TV to watch the latest digital TV. And with this, the demand for recording high-definition content is also rising. Anyway, HD video takes up a considerable amount of hard drive space.
Blu-ray technology has been the answer for this problem. This technology uses equivalent MPEG-2 compression standard as DTV, thus rendering it hugely compatible with the global standard for digital broadcasting. One dual-layer Blu-ray disc of fifty GB can store up to 6 hours of HD content. Though blu ray players are now available in the US and are more than capable of playing such high definition content, these lack the facility for recording high-definition content.
For this end, Blu-ray recorders have been created. These recorders use a 36Mbps data transfer rate which is adequate to record and playback digital high-definition transmissions while still preserving the original picture quality. A blu ray disc recorder if fully utilized, can playback pre-recorded video on a disc and simultaneously record high-definition video broadcasted on TV.
Blu-ray recorders are presently on sale only in Japan and began as a remarkable innovation in digital broadcasting. Several of the producers of Blu-ray recorders are Zenith, Yamaha, Sony, Sharp, Samsung, Pioneer, Philips, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, JVC, Hitachi, and Amex.
Consumers in the US have been waiting the longest time for blu ray manufacturers to introduce Blu-ray recorders in the US. It is anticipated but has not still come true. Panasonic however, is expected to release the first freestanding Blu-ray recorders in the US during the first half of 2009. Though the anticipation for Blu-ray recorders make the market prospective, Blu-ray recorders face heavy competition from other existing high definition recording devices like the HD-TIVO and Cable/Satellite HD-DVRs.
Cinema studios and other entertainers are insisting on certain copy-protection obligations to be fulfilled by Blu-ray recorders. Further, the price of Blu-ray recorders, from what we have seen in Japan, is far higher than the price of standalone blu ray players (already introduced in the US) which the US market already perceive to be expensive. Another factor to consider here is the price of HD DVRs. A blank 25GB BD-R Disc cost about $8-$10 which is relatively cheap as well as convenient.
In spite of all these minuses, the induction of Blu-ray recorderss to the United States is a long-awaited occurrence.
