DVD(HDDVD)
Itis the next generation DVD developed
by TOSHIBA & NEC.

 The disc has a capacity of 15GB in

single layer,&
30GB capacity in dual layer.

The technology used in HDDVD is

almost similar
to the existing CD,DVD technology.
 • CD
 The CD ROM was introduced in 1982,The
storage capacity of a CD is almost
650MB.CD’s are of different type
ROM,R,RW.
 The disc is of 1.2mm thickness & 120mm
diameter .it consists of polycarbonate
substrates, a reflective layer ,a data storage
layer.
 The data is stored as 1’s& 0’s,In conventional
CDs, these 1s and 0s are represented by
millions of pits s and land.
 The discs are read using red lasers( 780nm
wavelenth)
 Data is encoded in the CD's in
 technology : read
 The pits and smooth areas (the smooth areas
are called lands) are read by a laser when the
disc is played.

 Pits and lands reflect the light from the laser

differently,
and that difference is encoded as binary
data: the light
hitting a land reflects back directly to a
photodiode,
whichgenerates an electrical pulse, while the
light hitting a pit is refracted
(deflected from a straight path, or
 write
a layer of organic polymer dye
between the polycarbonate and
metal layers serves as the recording
medium.
 Thecomposition of the dye is
permanently transformed by
exposure to a specific frequency of
light.
 While in the rotation by making the
laser ON or OFF the the data is
writing.
 DVD
 DVD is a relatively new optical disc
technology that uses denser recording
techniques
 The original DVD format was launched in
Japan in 1996.
 A DVD is very similar to a CD, but it has a
much larger data capacity. A standard DVD
holds about seven times more data than a CD
does(4.7GB).
 The original purpose of DVD was to hold video
data in particular - DVD once was said to
stand for Digital Video Disk. However, as the
number of DVD applications grew, the variety
of data stored on DVD
 Basic technology
 The wave length of the laser beam used to
read the DVD disc is shorter than that used
for standard CDs
ie,650nm wavelenth.
 There are more tracks per disc on DVDs,
because they are placed closer together
than on CDs. The track pitch has been
reduced to 0.74 microns.
 Data pits are considerably smaller, which
allows a greater number per track than on
CDs.
specterum
 HD DVD(High Definition
DVD)
 The HD-DVD format, developed and proposed
by Toshiba & NEC was introduced to the DVD
Forum in November of 2003 and approved as
the next-generation DVD format.
 It was developed to store highdefintion videos
to get its full effect for HDTV.
 This is the only high definition format which is
approved
by the DVD forum
comparison
 In HDDVD we are using Blue Violet laser
(405nm) thus reducing the track pitch to
0.4 microns, Which increases the data
capacity. The size of the pits is also
reduced.
 It holds a data rate of maximum 36.55
Mbps.
 Blue Violet Laser
 Shuji Nakamura, a Japanese
researcher working in a small
chemical company, Nichia
Chemical Industries, built the
first blue laser diode.
 This uses the GaN(gallium
nitride) , in the earlier time
blue lasers were large and
expensive gas laser
instruments and needed high
currents and strong cooling.
Basic structure
 The disc of diameter 12cm &
thickness 1.2mm
 The disc contains polycarbonate
subtrate layer in both sides .
 There’s one reflective layer made of
alumnium.
& a protective layer of lacquer
 The recording layer is of organic dye,
is highly sensitive to blue laser light,
has the uncompromised readout
stability essential for practical use.
Types of HDDVD

 HDDVD-ROM

 HDDVD-R

 HDDVD-RW
Single Layer HDDVD(15GB)

Dual Layer HDDVD(30GB)

Triple Layer HDDVD(45GB)

 Dual layer HDDVD
 DVD media has two dye layers for data
recording. Each dye layer is separated by a
spacer and a metal reflector.

 The first reflector (positioned after the first

dye layer) is semi-transparent; when the
laser is focused a certain way, it will pass
through this reflector and continue through
to the second dye layer and can read the
data
in the second dye layer.

 HDDVD in high definition
media
 HDDVD helps to view the high definition
movies in its full effect.
 It supports all the high definition formats
such as MPEG-2,VC-1,MPEG-4,AVC.MPEG-
2
needs 19.3Mbps. It can give up to data
rate 36.55Mbps.
 It supports video formats up to
1080i,1080p.
 &HDTV video resolution 1920-1080.
High definition images offer a considerably richer colour palette with greater subtlety of colour transition
and enhanced contrast. The result is greater precision, incredible detail and breathtaking realism.
 advantages
 Cheaper to produce in the short term when
compare to blueray.
 The only high definition format approved
by the DVD forum.
 The name itself, HD-DVD, is more
consumer-friendly
 HD-DVDs carry the same basic structure as
current DVDs, so converting existing DVD
manufacturing lines into HD-DVD lines is
supposedly simple.
 Backed by Microsoft.
disadvantages

HD-DVD simply can't boast the same

storage capacity as Blu-ray.

HDDVD did not have the Hard

coating .
