Ultra HD Blu-ray Soon, '4K Blu-Ray' for your new 4K Television

Ultra HD Blu-ray standard finalized: 4K support, HDR, ‘digital bridge’ sharing

The Blu-Ray Disc Association has announced the final version of the Ultra HD Blu-ray standard, and the new capabilities should offer an impressive upgrade for those looking to upgrade their movie collections to 4K. In addition to the aforementioned 4K capabilities (3840×2160), the new Ultra HD standard supports High Dynamic Range lighting, a wide color gamut (up to Rec.2020), and a feature dubbed “digital bridge.”

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT ULTRA HD BLU-RAY, THE SHARPEST WAY TO WATCH AT HOME

Though there will be no format war to stunt its growth (remember the whole Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD debacle?), Ultra HD Blu-ray adoption will still be slow. Even was more people buy TVs that support the higher resolution, Ultra HD Blu-ray will appeal to a relatively small audience – at least at first. But for anyone who wants the best possible picture and sound quality they can get, the arrival of this new format is exciting. And the best news is: It’s a pretty significant leap forward from 1080p HD.

I have a feeling that the industry may be its own worst enemy, once again, with this new technology.

Firstly, they'll probably slow adoption by charging a ridiculous premium for 4K discs just as they did with Blu-Rays initially. Secondly, it looks like the Digital Bridge feature could be a Byzantine DRM rabbit hole which will just confuse and frustrate consumers.
