On July 8, the Ministry of Information Industry declared that the national standard of EVD (Enhanced Versatile Disc) for the electronic industry was officially publicized online. It is China's first standard for high definition video disc system with the independent intellectual property, indicating that a "title" is finally given to EVD as the world's first industrialized high-definition digital disc player developed by China.

On the same day, the China's Audio-Visual Industry Summit Forum was held synchronously in Guangzhou. In the forum, a keynote speech ýC Development Tendency of High Definition Disc Player ýC was delivered by Tian Yujing, a senior engineer with Television and Acoustics Research Institute of Information Industry Ministry and an authoritative expert in the audio-visual industry. During her speech, Tian analyzed one by one the three high definition disc formats that are based on red-laser technology, namely EVD, HVD and HDV, all of which are now speculated heatedly in the domestic industry circle.

"Multilayer" Format Creators Merge Mar 1, 2006 | 338 words, 0 images Beijing E-world Technology Company, Ltd., creator of China's Enhanced Versatile Disc, has merged its format with the high-definition "Versatile Multilayer Disc" technology created by New Medium Enterprises of London, in efforts to gain a piece of the emerging global market for high-definition video carriers. The technology integration follows an equity swap between Beijing E-World, a publicly-traded electronics design company owned by 14 of China's leading device brands and OEMs, and NME in late 2005. Under the terms of transaction, NME granted roughly 40% of its company's equity and invested $8.5 million in return for a 69% stake in E-World. The combined group, renamed NME-World, is seeking to list itself on the Nasdaq stock exchange this year to raise $10 million for the global launch of its combined products. VMD is a red-laser-based optical disc with capacities ranging from 20GB to 40GB. The technology has the capability of up to 100GB of data storage, NME claims. EVD, launched in the Chinese domestic market in late 2003, also is red-laser-based, purporting five times greater picture resolution than the current DVD standard. Mahesh Jayanarayan, CEO of NME stated, "This closer cooperation will remove any perceived technological barriers and will accelerate the launch of true HD into the marketplace using the current red laser format. Combined with the electronic manufacturing resources of E-World, NME will be able to now compete in terms of quality and price with the electronics giants and roll out the HD devices comfortably by year end." The companies plan to jointly exhibit a high-definition VMD/EVD player at the CeBIT convention in Hannover, Germany this month. Beijing E-World CTO Xu Xiang said the two companies have achieved "total compatibility" between the EVD player and VMD discs, with commercial production of new players planned for early spring of this year. Content-wise, Bollywood film distributor Eros said it will support the new players with an initial slate of five high-def titles. http://www.medialinenews.com Copyright 2006 CMP Entertainment Media, Inc.
