NEC announces ND-3500A - 16X ±R and 4X DL Recorder!

NEC announces ND-3500A - 16X ±R and 4X DL Recorder!

Optical Storage Jul 31,2004 0

NEC (UK) Ltd today announced the launch of the ND3500A, the first advanced double layer 16x DVD re-writer to include high speed CD recording. The new model incorporates NEC's leading optical storage technology to offer a high capacity, reliable device, ideal for digital video recording, storage and PC data back-up applications.

The ND3500A delivers even higher speed write and re-write functions than its predecessor, the ND2510. This allows users the flexibility to choose a wider range of DVD R media without compromising performance or storage capacity.

In addition to improved ease-of use, the ND3500A will deliver significantly improved performance, ensuring users need no longer compromise on quality of video and stills due to lack of space on the disc. It also offers significantly faster recording speeds, for example a 1 hour DVD can be recorded in less than 4 minutes. In addition, the NEC ND3500A is able to store up to 8.5 GB onto one DVD.

Andrew Wyllie, Business Manager for NEC's Data Storage Business in the UK, commented: "There is an increasing demand for high speed, high quality optical storage devices. We are delighted to announce an industry first for NEC with this 16x dual layer DVD Recorder. In addition to the faster DVD recording, we have also ensured that the CD re-writing offered by this product is faster than before."

The ND3500A benefits from NEC's "high resolution writing strategy" which uses advanced laser modulation to boost the accuracy of the written data. The drive also includes an enhanced version of NEC's "Active Optimized Power Control" (Active OPC). Active OPC monitors writing power and reflection of the media in use, calculating the optimum laser power and adjusting it in real-time.

The ND3500A supports Windows 98SE, 2000, Me and XP. Windows NT 4.0 is also supported if the video editing function is not required.

The ND3500A will be available in beige, black and silver.

The retail version ND-3500/SRP comes with ?electronic manuals? in six languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch) on the software CD-ROM, all parts necessary to assemble the drive (screws, IDE and audio cable) and a full featured software solution from Ahead:
