BenQ, global manufacturer of digital lifestyle devices, has announced the release of the first "Trio" writer BW1000, a triple writer that encompasses BD, DVD and CD format support, which saves the user from making any compromises among these technologies. Annex Distribution will make the technology available to the local market.
The BenQ BW1000 supports all Blu-ray Disc formats at 2X read and write, as well as the interface of the future Serial ATA, which secures the data bandwidth while playing back high-definition contents, even for the most dynamical scenes. With BenQ`s BW1000, users can easily transfer high-definition home videos and art works to BD-R and BD-RE media, either 25GB or 50GB version, to share and store premium contents with convenience.
The device features revolutionary SolidBurn and Write Right technologies. SolidBurn automatically learns and optimises the writing settings for recordable media and makes over-speed writing feasible and stable, delivering stunning drive intelligence to help users write any media at the desired speed.
BenQ`s Write Right technology provides thorough protection during the writing process, which includes Seamless Link (for buffer-under run protection), dynamical jitter calibration (for real-time writing quality consistency) and Walking-OPC (for real-time writing power compensation) features.
The BenQ DW1670 DVD3 writer supports the entire main stream DVD recordable and rewritable formats from DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+/-R Double Layer to DVD-RAM. The DW1670 answers the need for multiple DVD formats in daily applications.
The BenQ DW1670 features BenQ`s proprietary Dual Cooling System (DCS) technology, which effectively reduces the risk of over-heating during high speed reading and writing. The DCS technology comprises of an Anti-Dust Cooling System (ADCS) and Air Flow Cooling System (AFCS). The Anti-Dust Cooling System redirects the heat flow out of the drive while providing protection from the dust whereas the Air Flow Cooling System accelerates the air circulation inside the drive cabinet as well as speeds up the heat elimination through the drive encasing itself to provide the best thermal management efficiency.
The BenQ DW1655, an evolved DVD writer with LightScribe technology, enables quality disc labelling of high-resolution graphics directly from the computer in approximately only 15 minutes. New LightScribe media offers five vivid background colours to further enrich those memorable moments.
In addition, BenQ DW1655 also features SolidBurn and Write Right technologies as well as Dual Cooling System. BenQ LightScribe writer offers not only the premium quality on the printing but also the best intelligence on the writing.
