Imation To Offer 6X BD-R Media Under TDK Brand


TDK 6X Blu-ray DiscsImation Ltd. will release its first 6x BD-R and BD-R DL media in Japan next month, under the TDK brand.

The new 6x BD-R media offer have a wide power margin at any writing speeds from 1X to 6X. In addition, Imation unveiled the first BD-R DL media for 6x recording. Both types of discs will be available in Japan in the end of September for 1,500 Yen ($13.85) and 3,000 Yen ($27.7), respectively.

The company will offer the new Blu-ray discs in versions for both recording (for BD recorders) and data (for PC use). All new products feature TDK’s Durabis 2 hard coating layer for enhanced protection against dust and scratches.

The Blu-ray Disc Association approved the BD-R recording specifications for 6x (Blu-ray Disc Recordable Format Ver.1.3) last March.

Imation acquired TDK brand world wide recording media business last year.

Japansese Panasonic has also released 6x BD-R and BD-R DL discs this earlier this month.

    It`s good to see yet another brand of blank Blu(e)-Ray disk come along. Small side spam here, Duplicators who wear out Blu-Ray recorders in bulk, please make a huge box of worn-outs and e- mail me at educationalbroadcasting@hotmail.com. I`d like to purchase enough of them in bulk to make some working units here. (My favorite`s the Liteon 4X because it works on Linux).
    The 2X is said to not work on Linux but the 4X was introduced a month after my telephone call, did you call, too? - :) Please confer here favorite video editing programs in Linux, too.

    We’ve tested these in-house and this is a high quality Blu-ray disc from one of the top manufacturers.

    One suggestion, make sure you check your recorders firmware before ordering 6x media especially if you are using a tower duplicator. Some of the early (first generation) drives and some drives with firmware modified by duplicator manufacturers will not support 6x Blu-ray discs.
