3-D television expected to come to homes in 2010

August 25th, 2010

TV will finally becomes real as all the manufacturers have indicated that 3D sets for the home will be available in 2010 .

 

See what 3-D TV demos look like »

 

ESPN is test-recording some sporting events in 3-D, using cameras with two sets of lenses, which would make football players appear to jump out of home television screens during live 3-D broadcasts. And, although television makers haven’t released specifics, the price of 3-D TV — which requires a new television, broadcasting content and 3-D glasses — is not expected to be substantially higher than some high-definition televisions on the market now. “From what we’ve seen from most of the manufacturers, it’s just not there yet,” they said of 3-D TV technology. “We think right now, the technology — whether we’re talking about the refresh rate or the strobing or the glasses — there are too many things right now that get in the way of enjoyment of the film for it to kick off.”

 

All 3-D technology relies on the idea that if separate images are presented to the left and right eyes, the human brain will combine them and create the illusion of a third dimension.

 

Panasonic said they expect 3-D TV to be common in homes within five to 10 years. Technology that will make 3-D TV possible without glasses should be ready in 10 to 15 years.

DVD-RAM over DVD-ROM technology

August 18th, 2010

DVD-RAM is one of the fastest discs to access as its name says it RAM (random access memory) and also comes in two types cartridge or non-cartridge

 

DVD-RAM is the one out of three competing technologies used for rewritable DVDs, as its rivals are DVD-RW and DVD+RW. DVD-RAM provides super data integrity, damage protection and data retention because of its advanced mechanism and properties. For professionals they will prefer DVD-RAM media over DVD-RW and DVD+RW media.

 

The on-disc structure of DVD-RAM’s is closely related to hard disk and floppy disk technology, as it stores data in concentric tracks. DVD-RAM’s can be accessed just like a hard or floppy disk and usually without any special software. DVD-RW’s and DVD+RW’s, on the other hand, store data in one long spiral track and require special packet reading/writing software to read and write data discs. Like magneto-optical (MO) technologies, DVD-RAM has numerous rectangles on the disc surface that define the boundaries of data sectors. However, DVD-RAM is not MO but a phase change medium, similar to CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW.

 

                         DVD-ROM                                 DVD-RAM   

 

 

DVD-RAM has also superiority to rewritable DVD-RW discs. Because of its advanced technology, it can be re-written even more than 100,000 times under optimized conditions. Its rivals CD-R and DVD-R discs can be rewritten only for 1,000 times. DVD-RAM media has built-in security feature, which prevents read/write process failure. Rewritable DVD media employs phase-change technology that contains some MO mixed features unlike CD and DVD discs that use pure optical technology.

 

Because of extra edge over normal CD-R and DVD-R discs, popularity and demand of DVD-RAM media is increasing fast. As result, in the market, we come across various brand of DVD-RAM media.
