Nero and Philips Showcase
Blu-ray Technology at IFA
Monday, September 1, 2005
Nero and Philips will demonstrate the new Blu-ray
optical disc format at IFA 2005, September 2
through 7 in Berlin, Germany.
Nero 6 Reloaded possesses the ability to record
data and video with a blue laser onto Blu-ray
media. Nero ShowTime 2 allows users to play
back all digital recordings including video
recorded on Blu-ray discs, movies, TV programs,
home videos, DVD video all with high-quality
picture and sound quality.
Using Philips triple writer, Blu-ray Disc drive
features in Nero applications offers a number
of advantages, beginning with writing support
for Blu-ray single-layer (25GB), and a new "pseudo-overwrite"
method for BD-R. Nero Burning ROM and Nero Express
use the Blu-ray disc features for data mastering,
and InCD uses the Blu-ray disc features for
packet writing.
The PC drive utilixes Philips' OPU81 triple-laser
optica pick-up unit in which seperate infra-red,
red and blue lasers share the same optical pathway
to provide Blu-Ray disc read/write capabilities
as well as read/write compatibility with DVD
and CD.
The high-definition (HD) movie features achieved
by using Blu-ray single-layer media with Nero
applications include six hours of HD movie playback,
11 hours of standard content playback, and Dolby
Digital multichannel surround playback with
40 Mbps maximum bit rate for ultra high quality.
Nero ShowTime 2 supports playback of Blu-ray
video discs in AVC/MPEG-2 high definition.
The Philips display at IFA 2005 will be located
in Hall 22, at the Blu-Ray Disc corner and moreover
live demonstrations will be shown at Nero booth
in Hall 1.1, booth 203.
