Raw Material Prices Increase Again New Blu-Ray Case in stock New in stock for 2008 is the Blu-Ray case for high definition video discs. Blu-ray Disc (also known as Blu-ray or BD) is an optical disc storage media format. Its main uses are high-definition video and data storage. The name Blu-ray Disc is derived from the blue laser (violet coloured) used to read and write this type of disc. Because of its shorter wavelength (405 nm), substantially more data can be stored on a Blu-ray Disc than on the DVD format, which uses a red (650 nm) laser. A dual layer Blu-ray Disc can store 50 GB, almost six times the capacity of a dual layer DVD. As of June 20, 2008 more than 630 Blu-ray Disc titles have been released in the United States and more than 390 Blu-ray Disc titles have been released in Japan. Red HD Cases in stock Released at the end of November 2006, the Microsoft HD DVD drive for the Xbox 360 game-console gives the Xbox 360 the ability to play HD DVD movies. During the high definition optical disc format war, Blu-ray Disc competed with the HD DVD format. On February 19, 2008, Toshiba — the main company supporting HD DVD — announced it would no longer develop, manufacture and market HD DVD players and recorders, leading almost all other HD DVD supporters to follow suit, effectively naming Blu-ray the winner of the format war.
MORE CHOICE IN CD PACKAGING, PRICING. Scissor Sisters, Killers launch Europe-wide Super Jewel Box© Improved CD packaging at no extra cost to music buyersWe’ve listened to consumers,” says Universal Music Group International chairman
LONDON, July 5, 2006 – To offer European consumers improved choice and value in their purchase of music, Universal Music Group International will introduce a fresh, three-tier system of packaging and pricing CDs – the physical discs which still account for more than 90% of recording industry sales. For all new album releases as they roll out in future, Universal Music will use Super Jewel Box© packaging – a stronger, more durable replacement for the traditional “jewel box” CD case, at no additional cost to music buyers. On Sep. 18, the first three titles to be released across Europe in the upgraded Super Jewel Box© packaging will be two highly anticipated follow-up albums, Ta-Dah! by Scissor Sisters and the Killers’ as-yet untitled set, plus the first solo album by Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas. The upgrade means that UMG will ship more than 100 million albums in the superior-quality Super Jewel Box packaging during the first 12 months of the switchover. The extra manufacturing costs will be absorbed by the company. Lucian Grainge, Chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group International, says, “As our digital business continues to accelerate, as we anticipated, this is also an exciting time to improve our physical CD offer – and at no extra cost to the fans. We’ve listened to their views about value and choice, and we’re giving them more music-buying options than ever.” Validated by extensive market research, the new Universal Music approach will enable music fans to make CD purchases in the following physical configurations:
The three formats, which UMGI has successfully tested in select European markets over the past nine months, will begin to roll out across the region in September. Consumer reaction to the Super Jewel Box© was highly favourable during the test phase. Results from the earlier trials also proved the DeLuxe format to be highly popular as a gift item, as well as with the featured artists’ core fans. Moreover, music fans responded positively to the Basic version, appreciating the new format’s value – particularly those buying music from non-specialist retail outlets. During one week last August, six Universal Music titles in the Basic configuration were in France ’s top 20 album chart, including three in the top 10. More than 3 million slide-pack CDs were sold during the European market tests. Universal Music Group International does not set retail prices for its products, but it is recommending the three formats be priced at, on average, €19.99 (DeLuxe), €14.99 (Standard) and €9.99 (Basic).

Demand has been such that the event has moved to the newest and most striking hall at the Frankfurt Messe, Hall 3. It offers an exhibitor area of 14,000 sq meters. At the top of the agenda will be the growth in interest in record able DVD-R and the rewritable DVD-RW/DVD RAM formats along with the emergence of next generation products. Other topics will be Blu-Ray technology and HD-DVD, which features a 25Gbyte storage capacity. PRESS RELEASE Super Jewel Box International
With this 3rd generation SJB products, the rounded hinges are enlarged to make them stronger and suitable to accommodate a double disc FlipTray. The new, larger hinges are equipped with exchangeable logo inserts for engraving customer logos. This feature adds security and anti-piracy benefits. Perhaps the most important benefit of all is that manufacturing has become more efficient which allows for very competitive prices. As in the past, SJB will be available in 3 main sizes: Standard, Plus and King, in both single and double-disc tray options. But soon all 3 sizes will also be available with a double-disc FlipTray, and the SJB Standard and SJB King will have a 'Slim' version to serve special markets. For the retail markets and short-run professional applications, SJBI offers the new Super Jewel Box products in pre-assembled 5 and 10-packs, in clear and assorted colors. Several companies are offering offering pre-cut, blank paper inserts and design templates through retail outlets. Besides manufacturing Super Jewel Box products, the Suzhou factory will also provide turnkey fulfillment services with the installation of two (2) fully automated SJB packaging machines in combination with shrink and poly wrap machines. The SJB Standard and SJB King products will be automated at 60ppm, including insertion of booklet, tray card, Q-card, EAS tag, and 1 or 2 discs on a single or double-disc hub or 2 discs on a FlipTray. These machines will also auto load Slim versions of the SJB products. Hand assembly lines will take care of the SJB Plus and other special packaging needs. At full capacity the Suzhou factory will house 35 production lines with a total capacity of over 700 million units per year. Super Jewel Box is the successor to the most popular and widely used media packaging of all time; the original CD jewel case. Super Jewel Box provides many improvements over the original jewel case, such as a new and patented single or double disc spindle, rounded corners, stronger hinges with exchangeable logo-inserts, a locking clasp and access to artwork on all four spines. For more information, please contact Super Jewel Box International at info@superjewelbox.com or visit the company's web site at www.superjewelbox.com. European Media-Tech Exhibitors and attendees from over 80 countries attended this years conference and showcase. 1,000 people visited the event over the two-day period attending the conference and visiting the exhibition. The conference streams and workshops attracted large audiences, to hear presentations on a wide range of topics. All the exhibitors were generally happy with the numbers attending as the event took place at a very busy time for the replication industry with its pre Christmas production. Amongst the topics discussed were patents and licensing, mastering, packaging and recordable media. Super Jewel Box Seeing Growth Via Automation DVD-Audio And SACD One of the latest applications for the DVD format is music. DVD-Audio offers 5.1 Dolby surround sound mixes, extra biography information, picture galleries and album lyrics. The rival 'music-only' format to DVD-Audio is the Super Audio CD (SACD) which can be pressed as a dual format disc so that it is compatible with both SACD and CD players. SACD has taken the initiative over its DVD-Audio rival and there have been some major reissues exclusively in SACD, such as the re-mastered Rolling Stones back catalogue and Peter Gabriel's back catalogue being released during 2003. Figures released by the IFPI show worldwide sales of both formats have reached 1 million units each. Several factors are expected to have an impact on future growth. Sales momentum is expected to increase during 2003, with record companies releasing more titles, increased consumer awareness and prices falling to bring DVD-Audio/SACD titles in line with standard CD titles. Media Security To combat in-store theft retailers have put empty cases on display, storing the discs themselves behind the counter. However, this is a time consuming operation that can also put the customer off buying. The Red Tag security system from AGI Amaray, producer of the Amaray DVD-Safe case, integrates a disc and case locking mechanism with the possibility of tagging. The case is locked and the disc secured by inserting a security slider at the retail stage. The disc is locked on the hub and cannot be removed without either destroying the disc or case. The slider can be removed quickly at the point of sale. Having proved successful in Australia, the system is also being developed for the UK market and continental Europe. DVD Rentals
