BenQ Unveils Double-Layer DVD Drive

BenQ's new DW830A rewritable DVD drive features DVD+R 2.4x double-layer recording speed.

BenQ today introduced its DVD rewritable drive that supports DVD+R double-layer (DL) recording. The BenQ DW830A features a DVD+R DL 2.4X and DVD+R 8X write speed, as well as DVD+RW 4X rewrite speed in terms of its optical operating performance.

With the introduction of double-layer recording technology in the optical industry, the standard 4.7GB of data storage capacity available in single-layer DVD recordable media has nearly doubled to approximately 8.5GB of storage space available on double-layer media – making the BenQ DW830A a natural fit for users looking to archive large amounts of data or store multimedia applications. In addition, the BenQ DW830A provides users with the option to record up to 16 hours of VHS or four hours of DVD quality video on a single disc, while still retaining backward compatibility with existing DVD video and DVD-ROM drives.

The DW830A also features BenQ’s Write Right Technologies, which include:

  • WOPC II (Walking Optimal Power Control): constantly evaluates the writing quality and automatically adjusts the writing power to ensure the best possible write quality over the entire disc
  • BLER OPC (Block Error Rate Optimal Power Control): enhances the writing quality near the end of the disc to prevent any warping or potential problems
  • Tilt Control: repositions the OPU to maintain a 90-degree angle between the disc and laser to ensure the best writing quality throughout the disc
  • Sliding Cone Mechanism: the disc positioning on the turntable provides better clamping force over the disc for auto centering, as well as keeps the noise and vibration levels low
  • Qvideo 2.0: BenQ’s software program that allows the user to create a DVD disc from a television, AV or DV source in real time
  • Book Type Management: enables the user to easily change the write format between DVD+R/RW to DVD-ROM to be more compatible with almost 99 percent of all DVD players
  • Smart Write Control: Walking Optimal Power Control (WOPC) technology dynamically adjusts the burner power to ensure the best writing quality throughout the burning process
  • +VR Function: allows the user to directly record and edit on the DVD disc
