Mizushima Research Centre

High Defi nition Television provides an unsurpassed picture quality and a
remarkable high-end surround sound. With the superb resolution, dynamic
contrast, vivid colours and remarkably clear sound effects, high defi nition
brings an additional dimension to your visual entertainment.

With the expected growth of HDTV, there is a consequent growth in
the recording of the HD television programming. Recording 2 hours of
standard defi nition television in standard DVD quality requires a full 4.7GB
DVD disc. High Defi nition content – with its increased resolution and
digital sound tracks requires an ever greater amount of storage capacity.
Verbatim’s Blu-ray discs range from 25GB to a massive 50GB which is more
than enough HD storage space.
