UDO is the application of Blu-ray technology to the professional optical storage market. Blu-ray is the proposed successor to DVD and uses blue-violet lasers and phase change recording technology to provide the storage capacity to record a full-length HDTV video. The use of blue-violet lasers and high NA optics dramatically increases data storage densities and necessitates a new type of disk construction with a 0.1mm cover layer to protect the data surface. As with existing MO technology, UDO uses non contact recording to provide robust and reliable performance.
