Currently, three Blu-ray replication lines function with a capacity of 25,000 single-layer 25GB Blu-ray Discs per day, and 750,000 a month. By October 2006 production is expected to increase to over five million discs a month as additional lines are added to the facility. Of these additional lines, six will be capable of manufacturing 50GB dual layer Blu-ray Discs.
Blu-ray is going to revolutionize the way consumers enjoy and interact with high definition entertainment content, and we are pleased to play a critical role in this important development, said Dieter Daum, president of Sony Disc and Digital Solutions.
