MANHASSET, N.Y. — Thomson announced Friday (Dec. 10) that it would manufacture both HD DVD and Blu-ray discs through its Technicolor business and provide consumer HD DVD players through its own name and RCA brands.
By supporting HD DVD, Thomson joins a number of consumer electronics, information technology and content companies that will comply with the format, the latest being Hollywood studios Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros. Studios.
Thomson expects to launch HD DVD discs and players in late 2005.
Thomson, which is also a founding member of the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), will continue to participate and support the development and production of the Blu-ray Disc format. The BDA has over 70 member companies, the latest being The Walt Disney Company, which announced its support for Blu-ray Disc earlier this week.
