Thompson Establishes First BDA-Approved US Testing Center

Technicolor, a business group of Thompson, has announced that its Burbank, CA Blu-ray Disc testing center is the first to be approved by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) in the US. With their extensive knowledge of the BD-Java software and experience with producing Blu-ray discs, they are in an excellent position to process discs through a variety of tests to ensure standards compatibility, format integrity, and advise content producers on how to improve the disc behavior

Bob Michaels, vice president of world wide DVD compression and authoring services commented, "We are very excited to establish this Blu-ray Disc testing center. This will provide a value-added service to the industry and ultimately result in a better user experience of Blu-ray Discs."
