Burbank, California-based BluFocus Inc, the entertainment industry's first advanced testing and advisory service specialist for Blu-ray, has established the first, and currently only Testing Center in the United States for Movie Player Verification approved by the Blu-ray Disc Association. The company has also been approved by the BDA as a Testing Center for BD-ROM Audio Visual Content and is in the process of finalising its approval for BD-ROM PC Application Software.

BluFocus recognises that in order to continue ensuring the quality of Blu-ray products released into the market, it is necessary that these products are operating as intended, per the Blu-ray specification and that advanced levels of testing are conducted within all areas. “With BluFocus’ expertise and knowledge, the company is highly qualified and positioned to process discs, players and content through a wide variety of tests to ensure their compliancy and compatibility,” says Paulette E. Pantoja, company founder & CEO

“Our goal since inception has been to promote the Blu-ray format and ensure its success by offering testing and advisory services to all those creating Blu-ray products. Our dedicated and experienced staff have worked every hard these last two years and are very proud to be an approved Testing Center for the BDA.”

These additional services expand BluFocus’ already comprehensive list of offerings in the areas of testing, compatibility, verification, THX Certification and Project Engineering. This allows the company to continue assisting their clients at all levels to ensure a seamless, issue-free consumer experience as demonstrated with its involvement on Warner Bros.’ The Dark Knight.
