A step in the right production

Sony’s Blu-ray technology may not have received any new studio support this week, but that is not stopping them from pressing on. Singulus Technologies, a system integrator of optical disc replication equipment, is joining Sony to develop mass-production equipment to make Blu-ray discs.
Singulus will design and manufacture the BD-ROM replication lines, enabling replicators worldwide to have the ability to manufacture pre-recorded Blu-ray discs. According to Singulus, prototype machines will be available in early 2005 for single-layer and late 2005 for dual-layer.
