Toshiba’s DVD Upgrade to Blu-ray standards
A Japanese newspaper has published information that Toshiba are in the process of creating an upgrade of current DVD technology which will match the high video quality of Blu-ray.
Toshiba were knocked out of the HD DVD/Blu-ray war earlier this year when Sony’s Blu-ray took the lead and the DVD market with its high quality image standards compared to that of HD DVD. Although HD DVD quality is still impressive, Blu-ray managed to pip it to the post, however with high prices for Blu-ray players and discs it hasn’t took off as it was expected to do and therefore Toshiba appear to be taking the chance of exploiting them by introducing anew HD DVD format.
| | Toshiba are said to be developing a circuit that can be embedded into new DVD players and will upscale them to high definition. The newspaper article suggests that the technology will be completed within the next 6 months, so not long to see if this actually going to happen…….
