Official NEC MultiSpin ND-1100A Specs! Posted Thursday, 3 October, 2002 by kila_m
NEC Europe sent us the following information about their new 4 speed DVD writer:
"NEC UK today announced the launch of the NEC MultiSpin ND-1100A, the world?s first DVD drive able to write both DVD-R and DVD+R media at 4x speed.
Available through NEC UK?s distribution channel, the ND-1100A provides a complete solution for data backup, storage and distribution ? from sharing films and music to archiving a massive 4.7 Gb/s of content on one DVD disk alone.
It removes the compatibility issues that have slowed the take-up of DVD re-writers by incorporating all eight optical storage formats in one product.
Andrew Wyllie, who heads up NEC UK?s Data Storage operation, says: ?Competing standards in the DVD re-writing market have left hardware manufacturers, dealers and consumers wondering which horse to back. The ND-1100A removes the guesswork once and for all, enabling end-users to create disks for play-back in virtually all DVD video players and DVD ROM drives with no compromise in performance.?
The ND-1100A delivers the fastest and most reliable performance at both reading and writing media of any multi-format DVD drive available today. It supports 2.4x DVD+RW; 2x DVD-RW; 16x CD-R and 10x CD-RW recording, and reads DVD-ROM at maximum 12x and CD-Rom at maximum 40x, outstripping competitor solutions emphatically. This performance enables the ND-1100A to record one hour of DVD Video in just 15 minutes, for example.
This product also includes ACTOPC - NEC?s ?high resolution writing strategy? to enhance the accuracy of written data. ACTOPC provides the user with improved quality of data copying ? whilst allowing for local anomaly in the media ? manufacturing tolerances, finger marks etc.
The ND-1100A will be available in the UK from November 2002 for an estimated end-user price of £249.
