The Best In Optical Storage - Blu-Ray






Data is of prime importance, be it for an individual or an organization. It needs to be collected, sorted and then stored. Data storage is certainly a most difficult task, but with this ray discs, one can easily store large amounts of information, data, multimedia content, etc. It is a core, secure form of storage that will preserve the data for years to come, and can be easily accessed when needed.

Blu ray discs have come as an answer to prayers for many who wanted a better data storage alternative. This optical storage format allows you to store, rewrite and retrieve large amounts of content such as high-definition video, or indeed any type of digital content, offering over five times the storage capacity of a standard DVD. A Blu ray disc can store 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual-layer disc. This large storage capability and the use of advanced video and audio codecs has allowed for a never seen before High Definition experience for end users.

But how is it technologically different from other optical disc formats like DVD, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD RAM? DVD uses a red laser to write and read data, whereas Blu-ray operates with a blue-violet laser instead (hence the name Blu-ray). The blue-violet laser (405nm) has a shorter wavelength than the red laser (650nm) used by DVD, and coupled with an increase in numerical aperture from 0.60 to 0.85, allows the laser to focus on a smaller spot size. This is the reason that data density on Blu-ray is greater than on DVD, and allows it to have storage capacities of 25 GB and 50 GB.

So briefly, that is how a ray disc works. And once you have stored the data, it is then easily distributed. It is also easy to make multiple copies for wider distribution, thanks to fast and highly efficient Blu-ray DVD duplicators available on the market. They can duplicate Blu ray, DVD and CDs at a rapid rate, saving a lot of precious time.

There are also various configurations available:

Stand Alone - These are self-contained Blu-ray DVD Duplicators that come with their own controller, hard drive and one or more writers. You can control the whole process from a simple keypad and small display. It may sound intimidating, but in truth they are as simple to operate as a photocopier, thanks to the intuitive menus.

These systems can easily duplicate from multiple master images, and they have a Copy Counter to keep track of the number of copies made. They are built to offer the highest protection against heat and dust, which allows the units to provide excellent performance for an extended period of time. So you save time and also get value for your money.

PC connected - These duplicators work in combination with a personal computer, and offer an affordable solution for users who require multiple applications in CD/DVD auto-loading systems. They require the PC to run the controlling software that handles the copying of CD, DVD or Blu-ray discs, HDD to Disc duplication and Disc to HDD back up.
