Chemical Media Introduces World's First 4x DVD+R Data Disc
Tokyo, Japan, Dec. 25, 2002 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi
Chemical Media Co., Ltd., (MKM) today announced the launch
of a new lineup of 4x DVD-R discs for video and data use.
The new products will be available at selected retail outlets
in Japan from early February 2003.
MKM spokesman and CIO Shigeru Tamura said, "Our new
4x DVD-R discs will offer superior compatibility, and most
DVD-ROM drives, DVD players, and game computers should
be able to use them. We think these discs will serve as
excellent media for recording of video images and data
backup. They can be used as library media, or they can
act as media for distribution."
The new DVD-R discs are based on MKM's proprietary DYN-AZO
technology, which produces recording layers with 5%greater
power margin and 20% better recording sensitivity than
current MKM 2x DVD-R discs. This assures stable yet faster
recording, achieving the same accuracy as other discs get
with 1-2x recording and boosting compatibility between
discs and 4x high-speed writers. In addition, the company
uses the precision molding technology it proved with production
of high-speed CD-R and CD-RW discs to make sure the new
DVD-R 4x discs are the ideal flat shape.
"For the video discs, we use a transparent film wrapping
that allows the customer to see the label," said Tamura. "That
helps them differentiate among discs in retail displays.
Besides regular discs and packs, we'll offer inkjet printable
discs as well, and the printable discs will offer a broader
area to print on." He also noted that the printable
discs do not feature see-through wrapping.
The new 4x DVD-R disc lineup will include six items for
video use and four items for data use. Tamura said the
new products would bolster the total MKM lineup, enabling
them to meet an even broader range of customer needs.
