The consumer adoption of Ultra HD Blu-ray is outpacing the Blu-ray Disc format adoption by a factor of 4:1 and, of course, we’re delighted because Scenarist’s engineering and product teams have worked tirelessly with the Blu-ray Disc Association, major motion picture companies, technology partners, and UHDG members to make it happen. Today there are over 100 Ultra HD Blu-ray titles available with twice that number anticipate to be ready by this Holiday Season, the vast majority of which will have been created with Scenarist UHD, and multiple players selling out worldwide.

And so, with the completion of the launch phase of Ultra HD Blu-ray, we’re excited to announce adoption phase pricing for Scenarist UHD. The adoption phase of a new format is when content holders, authoring facilities, and producers realize that the time is right to begin offering Ultra HD Blu-ray. Our system accessibility, proven ability, and new pricing make it easier than ever to add Ultra HD Blu-ray authoring services to your facility.

If your customers are starting to ask about UHD authoring, then it’s probably time to contact your Scenarist reseller or email us to discuss adding Ultra HD Blu-ray authoring services to your business.
