High definition broadcasting which launched in Europe in
2004 is now on it’s way across Europe, in time it is expected
to reach throughout the continent. High Definition
broadcasting is already growing fast in the U.S. and Asia.
A short time from now we expect HD to have captured the
imaginations of Europe’s TV viewers. Their need to store
and share astonishing quality HD images and uncompressed
sound will be met by TDK Life on Record Blu-ray Discs.
High Definition Television (HDTV) is expected to replace
standard television in the coming years and is already
available on selected pay channels. Compared to the PAL
and SECAM formats, HDTV offers up to five times more
detail.
And as picture quality improves, the amount of storage
required to record such a high-resolution television signal
without loss of quality also increases.
Due to the large amount of television signal data, viewers
can only record approximately 20 minutes of programming
in HDTV quality on a conventional DVD.
