Overview
Verbatim's professional optical media feature tighter specifications than the standards given by the relevant standardization bodies.¦Tighter specifications ensure better compatibility with writers and recorders. This results in higher recording quality, thus ensuring longer archival lifetime and better readability.¦The advent of Blu-ray technology has led to the introduction of high capacity storage discs to meet the demand cause by the rapid growth of high definition television (HDTV).¦Blu-ray discs get their name from blue laser technology. The shorter wavelength of the laser is the reason it is blue in color. The benefit of having a blue laser with a shorter wavelength means it is possible to write smaller data pits and therefore vastly increase the amount of data on the disc.¦Blu-ray discs offer 3 to 5 times the storage capacity of a standard recordable DVD disc, enabling the recording, rewriting and playback of high definition video (HD).
