Chinese hi-def CBHD format examines 3D option
A technical working group formed by members of the China High-definition Disc Industry Promotion Association (CHDIA), which promotes the development of the home-grown blue-laser standard China Blue High-definition Disc (CBHD), has been developing 3D technology to support CBHD through pooling patents. 3D-enabled CBHD players are expected to be available in the China market by the end of 2010, according to the group.
In the Chinese market, CBHD has a price advantage over Blu-ray Disc. Only two members - TCL and Shinco Electric - make CBHD players at present, but the number will grow to 10 by the end of 2010. An estimated one million CBHD players will be sold in China in 2010.
In addition to China-based content provider , CVA Warner Home Entertainment, a joint venture between Warner Home Video and China government-owned China Audio & Video Publishing House, has released about 80 CBHD movies and over 200 more will be coming later this year. About 1,000 CBHD movies should be available in the country by the end of 2010. (Source: DigiTimes)
