IT’S TIME FOR BLU-RAY A
s we have highlighted previously, the entertainment industry has continued to evolve during the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the changes we are slowly seeing is the change from DVD to Blu-ray as the dominant media disc for home entertainment. Blu-ray discs are able to carry more information on them; therefore, the picture quality is able to be played in high definition with high-quality sound. With the technological advancements and affordability of new televisions, the standard DVD that has dominated the industry for years is starting to fall behind. We have started to see some of our studio partners test Blu-ray-only releases. The most prominent example to date was with Nomadland. The film won several Academy
Awards, including Best Picture, and was critically acclaimed. When it came time for home video release, the studio only offered the film on Blu-ray. This was a major shift in release strategy, especially for such a highprofile movie. It is likely Blu-ray will be the only way for Libraries to add select titles to their collection. Many of your patrons may not think they can play a Blu-ray, but they are more prevalent than one may realize. Most of the video game consoles that are being produced are capable of playing Blu-ray discs. Starting with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which released in 2013, both consoles are able to play Blu-rays, and with the advent of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, these consoles are able to play
both Blu-ray and 4K discs. Odds are your patrons may have a Blu-ray player in their home already with these video game consoles and not even realize it. Now is a great time to add or expand your Blu-ray collection. In the coming weeks, CVS Midwest Tape will be providing more educational resources and Blu-ray products for you and your patrons as we transition to a new era in home video.
