Capelle a/d IJssel, 23 June 2004.
Conrexx Technology B.V., the European subsidiary of
the RITEK Corporation, has begun shipment of the Traxdata Double Layer DVD+R
media. This exciting new advancement in DVD technology is one of the first
to the market offering a single-sided disc with an amazing 8.5GB of storage
capacity. This incredible capacity is enough for up to 4 hours of DVD
quality video, 16 hours of VHS quality video or over 120 hours of MP3 audio.
Compatible with all current DVD video players and DVD-ROM drives as well as new
DVD+R DL drives, the disc is ideal for virtually any business or household
application.
Double Layer media offers genuine advantage over
the current single layer 4.7GB DVD. The new Traxdata 8.5GB Double Layer
recordable DVD+R disc allows users to read, write or view almost twice the
amount of data that is currently possible with the single layer and the advanced
technology means that material can be read or recorded on one layer without
affecting the other. No need to flip sides or change discs, this new
offering from Traxdata means real convenience as well as fast, reliable storage
with a wide range of playback options.
'We are proud that Traxdata is one of the first
brands to offer Double Layer media to the market", said Floris Evers, Marketing
Manager at Conrexx Technology (RITEK Europe). 'By being at the forefront
of fast-moving DVD technology, we again prove Traxdata is one of the leading
brands in the optical storage industry".
A huge amount of research and development has gone
into ensuring Double Layer media is robust. New dyes, reflective materials
and production processes have had to be developed in order to ensure total
compatibility with DVD standards, optimal power margins and signal
amplitudes. Users can be assured that the new Traxdata Double Layer disc
has been certified to be in compliance with the DVD+RW Alliance (parent company
RITEK is a member). Additionally, the new storage medium has been quality
tested by a variety of burner manufacturers and software developers, all of whom
have given it their stamp of approval.
The Traxdata single-sided, Double Layer 8.5GB DVD+R
disc will be available from the beginning of July 2004 in DVD Box and Jewel Case
packaging at €11.99 including VAT.
