Sonopress Ships Three Million Ultra HD Blu-ray Discs

In one year

The media services provider Sonopress GmbH, part of Bertelsmann Printing Group, achieved a milestone in 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray production.

Almost exactly one year after the first disc in the high-resolution format came off the production line in Guetersloh, Germany; the replication experts have passed the three million mark.

UHDs have been an absolute success story for our company since Day One,” emphasizes Sonopress MD Sven Deutschmann. “On the one hand, we have shown that we blaze the trail for the entire industry in the technical development of a completely new format, and on the other, this pioneering role has opened the door to several worldwide entertainment clients. Hollywood majors Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures International, as well as other players including Concorde Home Entertainment and Highlight Constantin.”

Sonopress is producing all the Harry Potter films in the new format. In addition, Universum Film GmbH announced that it would start releasing films in 4K resolution in April – beginning with the blockbusters Mechanic: Resurrection starring Jason Statham, and Lone Survivor, a thriller about a Navy Seals mission in Afghanistan. Replication will be handled by Sonopress in both cases.

The company is one of the central technology leaders for the new format. At the beginning of the year, the company received the DEG Award Best Digital Product or Service Innovation for 2016 for its production of the Ultra HD Blu-ray 100.
