The
industry’s first equipment event with live BD50 manufacturing
At this year’s Media-Tech Expo, Singulus Technologies and Anwell
Precision Technologies said they will demonstrate working BD replication
lines showcasing realtime dual-layer BD50 manufacturing with media
produced on the show floor.
Media-Tech
is the equipment trade show for the optical media industry to be held
6-8 May at the Messe Frankfurt in Germany; it focus on Blu-ray Disc.
Demand for systems and titles is expected to start ramping up this
year, with projections of 120 equipment lines required in the next
two years to keep up with demand, and there are speculation that at
least 80% of major movie studio releases will be on BD 50 discs.
“Other companies will have working demonstrations of every stage
of the Blu-ray Disc manufacturing process from authoring and encoding,
through mastering, pressing and printing to quality control and packaging,”
says Bryan Ekus (pictured), managing director of the Media-Tech Association,
“and this will be the show that enables anyone with any interest
in BD and BD50 production to get up to speed on the technology and
market forces behind it.”
