Technicolor and TL Join Forces For BD Verification Services

Date published: 16 Dec 2009

Thomson (Euronext Paris: 18453; NYSE: TMS), through its Technicolor Business Group, and Testronic Labs today announce that they have teamed up to offer comprehensive Blu-ray Disc testing capabilities that combine the unique areas of expertise that each company offers.

Testronic Labs’ respected expertise in quality testing and assurance for home video products combined with Technicolor’s in-depth knowledge and leadership of Blu-ray Disc authoring services and replication results in a formidable force in the industry to ensure standards compliance, format integrity, and player compatibility. Customers will benefit from this new on-location offering since the total length of time to get product to replication will be reduced by one to two days.

 Testronic Labs was recently audited and accredited by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) to provide BD-ROM Movie Player and BD-ROM PC Application Software certification services, and in September 2008, Technicolor established the first BDA-approved Blu-ray Disc Test Center for Commercial Audiovisual (AV) Content in the United States. 

“We are very excited to work with Testronic to offer these testing capabilities,” said Bob Michaels, vice president of worldwide compression and authoring services. “This will provide a value-added service to the industry and ultimately result in a better user experience of Blu-ray Discs.”

"Earlier this year our two companies started thinking about ways we could better serve the supply chain," added Seth Hallen, president, Testronic Labs (pictured, right).  "We are convinced that our combined expertise brings powerful testing solutions to the Blu-ray Disc industry."

Since the two companies already offer comprehensive Blu-ray Disc testing capabilities, they will be ready and positioned to make the leap to offer verification and testing services for Blu-ray 3D in 2010.
