Pioneer Shows Off PRV-LX1 DVD Recorder

Pioneer Electronics has introduced a new DVD recorder for the professional market that may find some crossover customers among serious video hobbyists.

Featuring one 120GB internal hard disk drive and one DVD-R/RW recordable drive, the PRV-LX1 can also be configured with a second DVD R/RW drive if desired. Built for industrial use, the new machine is said to be ideal for “a wide variety of video and post-production environments.” The PRV-LX1 enables easy DVD authoring and conversion of any video archive to DVD-R or DVD-RW without the need for a PC or authoring system.

Pioneer claims that the PRV-LX1 benefits from “a future-proof modular design” with plenty of features but simple operation. The company has also recently introduced the DVR-S606, its first external DVD/CD writer drive in a sleek industrial case. Quick and easy to install, the drive supports multiple DVD media formats, can be mounted either vertically or horizontally, and plugs into standard IEEE 1394 (Firewire) and USB 2.0 ports. google_max_num_ads = 5; google_debug();
