Panasonic Launches BD-ROM Authoring Service in the US
Thursday June 22, 11:01 am ET
New MPEG-4 AVC Encoder and Blu-ray-Java Authoring System Expedite Production
of Blu-ray Titles with 1080p-quality Pictures and Advanced Interactivity
SECAUCUS, N.J., June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic, the brand for which
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. is known, announced today that it
will commence Blu-ray Disc entertainment title (for Blu-ray Disc read-only
media, or BD-ROM) authoring service for movie studios at Panasonic Hollywood
Laboratory (PHL) in Universal City, California on July 1. Optical discs,
like Blu-ray Disc, or conventional DVDs, need to have their content authored
as a step toward physical replication of the disc as an entertainment title.
As Panasonic and other electronics manufacturers plan to introduce Blu-ray
Disc players this year, Blu-ray titles from the major movie studios are
expected to become increasingly available for consumers. The BD-ROM
authoring service launched by Panasonic will facilitate the production of
Blu-ray Disc titles, so that consumers can experience High-Definition movie
entertainment at home.
Panasonic has been authoring DVDs in the U.S. since 1996 and has accumulated
a great deal of know-how in digital content authoring. In order to provide
the new service, Panasonic has installed state-of-the-art Blu-ray Disc
authoring equipment at PHL.
The equipment installed for this purpose includes a specially developed
MPEG-4 Advanced Video Codec (AVC) encoder and a Blu-ray Java authoring
system. The combination of the encoder and authoring system enables Blu-ray
title creators to reproduce near-original, high-quality video with an
easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) based on Java.
The new Panasonic encoder and authoring system support the Blu-ray Disc
Association's BD-ROM specification, and take advantage of the disc's
benefits including very high data compression, interactive menus and
highly-advanced copyright protection. The Panasonic MPEG-4 AVC encoder,
capable of more than twice the compression of conventional MPEG-2 encoding,
maintains the highest- resolution 1080p image quality of the source. The
result is a stunning picture which Hollywood studio experts have reckoned
comparable to the original.
The BD-Java authoring system offers a variety of interactive features such
as pop-up menus, allowing for easy content navigation during playback. For
example, users can pop up a table of contents during playback, bookmark
favorite scenes, or select any desired item from the menu.
"Our engineers worked closely with Hollywood movie studios to develop the
Java-BD authoring system," said Kazuhiro Tsuga, Executive Officer in charge
of Digital Network and Software Technologies of Matsushita Electric. "We
listened carefully to movie studios to help us create easy-to use and high-
quality BD-ROM-based entertainment titles. To make them even better, we want
to engage in an ongoing dialog with the Hollywood content providers."
"Panasonic plans to offer Blu-ray Disc authoring-related services to major
movie studios and other content providers to accelerate the releases of more
Blu-ray titles," said Mr. Tsuga. "The introduction of the Blu-ray authoring
services and Blu-ray players completes the creation of an environment in
which consumers can enjoy stunning High Definition video on their Panasonic
HD plasma TVs at home."
