    Recorder Characteristics

    Over two hours of HDTV can be placedon a single layer BD, which correlates toover 13 hours for standard TV

    The transfer rate is 36 megabits persecond

    At 1x speed, it takes approximately 1.5

    hours to record an entire single layer BD At the speed of 8x it would require 12

    min to read or write 25GB of data on aBD disc.

    Protection System

    HDTV contains a copyright bit that isdetected by the BD recorder. If thebroadcast has no copyright bit, then the

    BD recorder is allowed to store theinformation

    Uses the Data Encryption Standard

    (DES) that has a key length of 56 bits A Key Block and Disc ID are written into

    the ROM area to prevent illegal copying
