New Blu-ray/HD-DVD Hybrid Chip from NEC

Wednesday, 11 October 2006 01:39

Can't decide between Blu-ray and HD-DVD? It's not your fault; neither of them is clearly better than the other, and to be sure that you can watch high-definition movies, you're pretty much going to need both. But that may change: NEC has developed a hybrid chip that can decode both Blu-ray and HD-DVD discs.

The availability of a chip doesn't necessarily mean much, though. First, someone has to come up with a player that can read both discs, which would require a specialized laser. And then there might be legal issues that keep anyone from making such a player. Either way, NEC has started shipping the chips and expects to sell 300,000 a month starting April 2007.
