CenDyne 4x "Producer" DVD+R/RW drive is able to burn a full-capacity 4.7GB +R disc in about 15 minutes, the new 4x DVD+R/RW drive delivers a whole new world of high-speed recording and playback plus unmatched player compatibility for both video and data applications.

Cendyne 4x Producer is based on the DVD+RW format, which was established to ensure optimum data playback across all popular DVD playback devices. Broad compatibility makes the new Cendyne 4x drive ideal for sharing digital photos, video, multimedia presentations and data files. In addition to enhancing playback compatibility, the drive's support for lossless linking allows different users to write (and read) additional data and video segments without finalizing the sessions.

Offering cost-effective DVD/CD storage flexibility, the new Cendyne 4x Producer supports 4x DVD+R write speed, 2.4x DVD+RW rewrite speed, and 12x DVD read speed. Smaller files, such as MP3 files, can be stored on low-cost 700MB CD-Rs at up to 16x speed or on CD-RW discs at up to 10x speed. CD playback is at 40x.

"As a founding member of the DVD+RW alliance, we are committed to supporting business and home users who purchase this new high-speed drive with the industry's most reliable DVD+R and +RW media," said Ronan Ryan, marketing director, Cendyne. "The drive's support for the most popular DVD format and backward compatibility with the CD-R and CD-RW formats makes it the storage solution of choice for anyone who wants to do more with their digital video and photography."
