Maxell, the
technology and marketing leader in advanced data storage media,
announced that it will begin shipping a new 8cm Blu-ray
BD-R write-once and BD-RE rewritable discs for the HD camcorder
market.
The Maxell 8cm single layer Blu-ray BD-R and BD-RE are
compatible with the latest Blu-ray camcorders providing a
recording capacity of 7.5 GB allowing the disc to store one hour
of full high-definition picture quality at 1920 x 1080 pixels.
The new Maxell 8cm Blu-ray products were developed to provide
larger storage capacities with maximum performance to ensure
that personal memories recorded with this latest technology can
be enjoyed to their fullest capabilities and will be protected
over time. The new products feature a special HG hard coat
technology (hard coat layer) to protect the recording surface
from scratches, dust and fingerprints, which can cause playback
errors in camcorder media.
The Maxell 8cm Blu-ray discs will be available starting in
September to coincide with the release of Hitachi's new Blu-ray
camcorder. The product will also feature Maxell’s consumer
friendly packaging with easy to read specifications and usage.
The market for HD content has significant upside, and we believe
that as people see their home movies with richer texture, images
and sound as a result of HD technologies available on the
market, they won’t turn back. With this latest addition of
recordable Blu-ray media for camcorders, our category expertise
allows us to help our customers navigate the latest HD
technologies ensuring they have the right products at retail
stores.
