The release ushers in a new era in optical disc recording, making possible for the first time the backup of up to 25GB of data on a single layer BD-R (recordable) or BD-RE (rewritable) disc, as well as image-to-disc recording and the archive and playback of hours of high-definition video content. The software and hardware combination will enable a range of applications including professional pre-mastering, high-definition authoring and high-capacity storage.
Andy Parsons, senior vice president at Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. said "Sonic's software has helped establish and grow the market for CD and DVD creation and has made them the clear leader in their field."
Initially targeted to professional users, the Pioneer BDR-101A will allow authoring facilities to perform testing and evaluation of commercial Blu-ray Disc releases in preparation for replication. The BDR-101A is also capable of BD-ROM movie and DVD playback and recording.
