Both HD-DVD and Blu-ray have backward compatibility with existing DVDV discs. That is that current DVDs will play in HD-DVD player, although new high definition DVD won�t play in older DVD players.During the event, SRS Labs will also be donating a new Samsung 7000 series HDTV equipped with SRS’ state-of-the-art TheaterSound™ audio technology to the charity of choice for one lucky celebrity or musician who selects a red guitar pick out of a bowl of black picks.HD-DVD was developed by Toshiba and NEC and has the support of the DVD Forum, along with a number of Hollywood studios. Currently those studios which have announced support for HD-DVD are; Universal Studios, Paramount Studios, Warner Bros., and New Line Cinema. It has a capacity of 15GB for single-sided discs and 30Gb for double-sided. It doesn�t need a caddy or cartridge and the cover layer is the same thickness as current DVD discs, 0.6mm. The numerical aperture of the optical pick-up head is also the same as DVD, 0.65mm.Founded in 2006, ZiXi is the leading enabler of flawless, broadcast-quality HDTV over the cloud.
