While a lot of companies have been tied up in the race to have the drive with the fastest writing speeds, Yamaha has also been committed to bringing new and useful technologies to consumers. In the past year they've brought us some of the best new features including their Audio Master Quality Recording mode and the CD-RW Audio Track Edit function.
Yamaha will be be demonstrating something new that they've been working on at the upcoming CeBit convention. Yamaha originally announced this new technology in Japanese, but they were nice enough to provide us with a little bit of information on it in English.
Yamaha announces the development of a new CD-R/RW laser pickup control technology that enables the 'drawing' of characters and pictures on CD-R discs. This new technology will be demonstrated at the CeBIT (Mar. 2002) in Hanover, Germany.
Yamaha has utilized the CAV technology in all its CD-R/RW drives as Yamaha firmly believes that the CAV system is the most suitable writing control method for high speed recording. The CAV method allows the disc rotation speed to be kept constant while the velocity of pick up laser power is continuously adjusted, letting the disc to be written at both optimum speed and quality. Yamaha has been able to improve both the laser power and the disc rotation control capability significantly and that has allowed much further precision which affords the CD-RW recorder to write and draw characters and picture on the CD-R disc. This ability allows the user to write any type of 'memo' such as 'date', 'contents', 'logo', 'pictures' etc. on the un-used area of the disk.
Yamaha cannot say when this technology will be implemented.
