Blu Ray Disc (BD) Duplication and Authoring Services

Media Plant has invested into the very latest technology and can offer both duplication and replication of Blu Ray discs.

Blu-ray or Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a new high density optical disc format offering five times the storage capacity of traditional DVD's on a single or dual layer disc which is CD-size (120mm in diameter).

Backed by 200 leading consumer electronics companies, the single layer Blu-ray disc can hold up to 25GB, whilst the dual-layer BD disc can store an impressive 50GB of data - making it well suited to the HD gaming industry as well as providing enough storage for up to four and a half hours of high definition video, enough for even the longest Hollywood films.

When combined with the latest industry-standard video and audio codes, a Blu-ray player delivers an unparalleled 1080p HD movie experience. This revolutionary optical media format was jointly developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) to distribute high-definition video (HD). The name "Blu-ray" results from the use of a short-wavelength blue-violet laser (405nm) in the optical pickup; as opposed to the traditional 650nm red laser used in older CD/DVD drives. One of the benefits of Blu-ray disc technology is its backwards compatibility with CD and DVD by using a combined BD/DVD/CD optical pickup unit, which has helped uptake as many companies now fit these combined drives as standard to games consoles and PC's.

Media Plant offer a full range of disc duplication services including Blu-ray disc duplication and professional Blu-ray disc replication using a state-of-the-art Blu-ray replication process utilising a disc stamper and all the associated quality checks to ensure we have the highest quality finished disc.
