Philips Electronics, a founding member of the Blu-ray Disc Association, has announced the upcoming availability of its first Blu-ray devices, the TripleWriter all-in-one PC Writer and a home entertainment player in North America and Europe. The Blu-ray discs are available now in North America and Europe, while the Triple Writer and Blu-ray player will be available in North America and Europe later in the year.
The new TripleWriter drive features recording and playback capabilities
of popular storage formats including CD, DVD and Blu-ray, which allows
users to select their media of choice depending on the preferred
application.
“Blu-ray enables unprecedented High Definition viewing experience. To
consumers, Philips will be able to ensure complete end-to-end High
Definition home entertainment, through the availability of discs,
recorders and playback devices,” said Matthew Moran, general manager,
Philips Consumer Electronics Australia.
Philips’ TripleWriter features a 2x (72MB/s continuous-data rate) read
and writer speed on BD-ROM, BD-R and BD-RE media. The drive reads and
writes a variety of legacy media including: CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW,
DVD-ROM, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD+RW and DVD-RW.
The BDP9000, Blu-ray home entertainment player will be made available
later this year in North America. Product specifications will be
available closer to the launch date.
In addition to the TripleWriter and home entertainment player, Philips
has made its 25GB BD-R and BD-RE discs available to consumers in North
America and Europe.
“We believe that consumers will develop the same veracity for HD
content as they did when the CD and DVD were recognised as the best
audio and video storage devices of their time,” said Moran.
