Sper ca Apple sa nu ne dezamageasca si de data asta..

HDMI isi are rostul, dar Blue Ray mi se pare o tehnologie nascuta mort: licente mult prea scumpe, penetrare mult prea mica pe piata, utilitate mult prea mica pentru un utilizator normal. Nu spun ca nu exista o nisa care are (sau cel putin considera ca are) nevoie de Blue Ray, dar in principiu discurile optice sunt tehnologiile trecutului, nu ma mir ca cei de la Apple nu investesc prea multi bani intr-o tehnologie care nu pare a avea sanse de a ramane pe termen lung pe piata. Nu vreau sa ma fac Nostradamus, dar cred ca toti putem vedea semnele unui viitor in care discurile optice nu prea vor avea un cuvant de spus. Nici nu imi amintesc cand am mai ars un DVD de exemplu.

Nu am inteles niciodata obsesia asta cu port-ul HDMI. Am avut si eu Mini ca si media center, dar il foloseam ca omu’ normal cu un adaptor DVI-to-HDMI. A mers perfect, asa cum sunt convins ca merg si Mini-urile 2009 cu adaptoare miniDisplayPort. La Blu-Ray-ul pe care il am acum am iesire HDMI, dar sunetul il scot iarasi ca omu’ normal prin cablu optic direct in receiver. Diferenta de calitate este mare, din punctul meu de vedere a-ti da cu fundul de pamant ca vrei audio prin HDMI este un moft de diletant.

Apropos de Blu-Ray, perfect de acord cu faptul ca este o tehnologie “born dead”. Cred ca in urmatorii putini ani ne vom lua la revedere de la tehnologiile optice de stocare, datorita faptului ca ofera capacitati derizorii la preturi imense. De exemplu:
- cand s-a lansat CD-ROM-ul, oferea o capacitate sensibil egala cu a HDD-urilor medii de pe piata (640 Mo)
- la lansarea DVD-ROM-ului, de asemenea, capacitatile erau in zona in care gaseam HDD-urile competitive (3 - 6 Go)
- Blu-Ray-ul, chiar si in variantele multi-layer cele mai turbate si experimentale, raman la o fractiune nesemnificativa din ceea ce ofera in ziua de astazi un HDD competitiv.

In contextul in care un disc Blu-Ray (GOL!!) costa 25 RON (35 Go), in timp ce un HDD de 512 Go costa 150 RON (fara sa discutam diferenta de performanta), mi se pare ca tehnologia optica a cam oferit ceea ce avea de oferit. Sigur, intrebarea este in ce masura lumea mai are nevoie de un suport fizic de multiplicare in masa a datelor, astfel incat ar fi un gest de mare curaj din partea unei companii sa investeasca in “succesorul” acestei tehnologii. SSD-uri “read only” cu interfata USB3? Card-uri SDHC read only ? (asta ar avea mai mult sens…)  Om vedea…

Eu zic ca totusi Display Port este cel mai avansat care in opinia lui Steve Jobs e mult mai bun ca HDMI asa a declarat la lansarea Macurilor Unibody,portul HDMI e la limita lui 1080p si deja se preconizeaza rezolutii mult mai mari.

Sa vedem ce va apare in Martie odata cu lansarea iPad-ului pe piata..ca restul e “rumours”.
Chiar asa discuri se ard din ce in ce mai rar,eu am renuntat si la DVD -playerul din casa on favoarea lui AppleTV
