Greater capacity Blu-ray discs likely with new standards
Sony and Panasonic seem like have been working on ways to boost capacity and they’ve now devised a new method that seems to be on the fast track to becoming a standard in the industry.
The best part of this is – it doesn’t involve a change in Blu-ray optics, but called the Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation evaluation index.
This is a new way of figuring out the read error rate of discs.
According to Panasonic and Sony, this should allow discs to hold up to around 33.4 GB per layer.
Sony is supposedly set to propose widespread adoption of i-MLSE to the Blu-ray Disc Association.
