Sony Corporation ("Sony") and Panasonic Corporation ("Panasonic") today announced that they have formulated "Archival Disc", a new standard for professional-use, next-generation optical discs, with the objective of expanding the market for long-term digital data storage.
Optical discs have excellent properties to protect themselves against the environment, such as dust-resistance and water-resistance, and can also withstand changes in temperature and humidity when stored. They also allow inter-generational compatibility between different formats, ensuring that data can continue to be read even as formats evolve. This makes them robust media for long-term storage of content. Recognizing that optical discs will need to accommodate much larger volumes of storage going forward, particularly given the anticipated future growth in the archive market, Sony and Panasonic have been engaged in the joint development of a standard for professional-use next-generation optical discs.
These efforts resulted in the formulation of "Archival Disc", a new professional-use next-generation optical disc standard, for which the technology roadmap, logo, and specifications are outlined below.

As panels, backlight modules, control chips and materials etc., invest into the market, the ultra-high definition 4K2K is gradually being accepted by consumers; especially now when prices are dropping, more and more people are considering owning a HD flat-screen TV. TVs nowadays are equipped with more and more mature multi-functions, and consumers are becoming more and more sophisticated about the video quality; consumers also love to play the videos they recorded on the big-screen to share their lives with their friends and families.
However, the sizes of high-resolution images and videos are also becoming bigger, and sometimes while recording, consumers are disappointed as they are unable to quickly and accurately capture an exciting instant due to slow writing speeds. For this reason, the speed of the KINGMAX PRO Extreme SDXC/SDHC memory card is significantly increased. The upgraded version is faster than the most advanced UHS-I Speed Class 3 specification, allowing photography enthusiasts to no longer have to worry about writing speed and instead just focus on adjusting the camera’s iris and mode settings etc.; KINGMAX PRO Extreme SDXC/SDHC will quickly write down every precious image for you. The time it takes to copy the files onto other devices is reduced and you no longer have to wait patiently next to the device.
