BluFocus has released the first Online Reporting System (ORS) for Blu-ray. BluFocus is a company that provides quality control analysis to Blu-ray manufacturers and studios. This tool is a database-driven system that allows studios, authoring facilities, player manufacturers, quality assurance testers and others to enter, track and share production issues online in real time. This system has already been in use by BluFocus and its clients; however, now it will also be available to others in the Blu-ray Disc industry. “Because of Blu-ray’s enhanced interactive capabilities, the error-reporting methodologies currently in use for testing standard DVDs are not effective or efficient,” said Paulette E. Pantoja, founder and CEO of BluFocus. “ORS employs an approach more typical of the software industry, where large, complex programs require accurate, detailed and consistent issue reporting systems. The instantaneous data sharing provided by ORS allows problems to be resolved more quickly, which is essential in the deadline-driven environment of home entertainment disc authoring and manufacturing.”ORS is the first system specifically designed to assist in the testing and development of Blu-ray Discs. BluFocus has also plans to release a suite of quality assurance tools all to assist in the development of Blu-ray Discs. ORS will help ensure streamlined communication and processes in that development.BluFocus hopes ORS will develop into an industry-wide knowledge repository, joining production reporting and consumer data to advance the overall development of software, tools and QA processes for the Blu-ray industry. “As use of the database increases, we can begin to identify trends and anticipate concerns before they develop,” said Pantoja.
