Pioneer Ships 4x Bluray Writer

Pioneer's versatile writer - the BDR-202 - is now available in Europe. As well as being 4x for Blu-ray it is also compatible with a range of DVD and CD media; speeds include 12X writing to DVD-R/+R, 6X to DVD-RW/+RW and 24X to CD-R/RW.

The optical pickup unit is equipped with our newly developed BD/DVD/CD three-way compatible lens that realises high-speed recording at a maximum speed of 4X on BD-R media and 2X speed on BD-RE.

The writer also reads BD-ROM and DVD-ROM discs, and read/writes to
DVD-R/+R
DVD-RW/+RW
DVD-R DL/+R DL Dual/Double-Layer discs and also CD-R/RW discs.

The BDR-202 includes a range of innovations to enhance read/write capabilities including:

Ultra DRA: which suppresses vibration when writing based on know-how that we have been cultivating in the development of DVD writers.
Limited Equalizer LSI : that dramatically improves reading reliability.


Multi-Effect Liquid Crystal Tilt Compensator: that advances the recording and playback characteristics by adding correction to the laser beam which compensates for disc impurities such as titled media and media of various thickness.

The BDR-202 includes CyberLink’s BD Solution software package to enable the creation and playback of BD movies and the creation and playback of DVDs and CDs."
