Vivastar today announced its entry into the DVD
Recorder marketplace with the unveiling of the Vivastar DVD
Recorder at CeBIT 2001. The in-house designed and manufactured
external and internal drive unit, priced below Asian
competition and featuring patented materials and original
technology, will be marketed in Europe and North America
exclusively through retailers giving merchants a
highly-dependable offering for the exploding DVD Recorder
consumer market.
The Vivastar DVD Recorder, which ships to retailers May 2001,
offers features that meet or exceed any unit on the market
today. The write-once drive connects to any PC via a SCSI-2
interface, and writes to 4.7 GB DVD-R discs at both 1X and 2X
speeds.
Recording standards for the Vivastar DVD Recorder conform to
those set by the DVD Forum, a worldwide consortium of DVD
manufacturers and technologists.
Vivastar plans to follow the release of its external and
internal drive DVD Recorder with a series of related models
later this year. The series will include a video/audio model
which will connect to TVs, enabling users to time- shift
television programs and transfer favorite home videos to the
highly- stable DVD format.
