Sharp shows off a 100GB Blu-ray disc2010-07-16 09:06 by DanielaTags: Blu-ray, Sharp
The Blu-ray disc association (BDA) announced the 128GB BDXL super-sized disc just last month and Sharp is already first to market with it in Japan. Sharp's VR-100BR1 is a triple-layer Blu-ray disc that squeezes 100GB on to a single disc. It's not quite the full 128GB but at 100GB it doubles the current 50GB dual-layer spec. Sharp reckons that it'll hold 12 hours of standard broadcast video or over four hours of HDTV. The VR-100BR1 has a hard coat protection technology applied to the surface to protect the media and users can print directly onto the disc. Labels can be printed down to 24mm inner diameter and out to 118mm outer diameter no less. Now that's great stuff for storage and HD aficionados but how are you going to play it? While other vendors play catch-up, Sharp is the only company that already has a 100GB player for sale, in Japan at least. Source: The Inquirer
