China Announces CH-DVD Format
September 10th, 2007
It has been announced that China will have a different next-generation optical disc standard called CH-DVD. It has been developed by the Tsinghua University. CH-DVD is similar to HD-DVD, but uses Chinese intellectual property (IP). The 1080p-capable format will be launched shortly before the Beijing Olympics.
Besides demonstrating that China can now produce advanced technology, there are also millions or billions of dollars at stake, in licensing fees (I woud guess $20 or more per player). By having its own format, China will save a ton of money. At least, that’s the plan but it mostly failed with EVD, China’s past attempt at bypassing the DVD format.
