UK - HHB Communications has introduced a new range of 1X - 8X speed DVD+R and DVD-R recordable discs, offering reliability and compatibility across an even wider range of DVD hardware products. Whether using a professional DAW, personal computer or a standalone DVD recorder, this latest generation of recordable media, says HHB, provides an even greater level of user confidence through its instant plug-and-play compatibility with a vast array of professional and consumer DVD devices.

With consistently low block error rates and ultra-low jitter performance, HHB DVD media combines excellent performance with absolute security. The company's new recordable DVD media offers enhanced reliability using a unique azo dye formulation, which guarantees complete stability and a secure archival life in excess of 70 years.

Full metallization of the entire surface of the disc yields a greater printable area, and allows improved colour matching, even in the hub area of the disc and is available in both inkjet and thermal-printable versions. Each disc type also uses a unique spinning process to ensure a bubble-free bond between the polycarbonate layers of the disc - resulting in perfect flatness.

The range consists of four disc types: DVD-R4.7GB-G (single, library-packed General type disc with an inkjet-printable surface), DVD-R4.7GB-GBulkIP (50 disc cakepack of General type discs with an inkjet-printable surface), DVD-R4.7GB-GBulkThermal (50 disc cakepack of General type discs with thermal-printable surface) and DVD+R4.7GB-Plus (single, library-packed General type disc conforming to the DVD+R format, with an inkjet-printable surface).

Heralding the arrival of the new DVD recordable media products, HHB Managing Director Ian Jones commented, "We're delighted that our new 1X - 8X discs now offer an even greater level of compatibility with a wide range of DVD hardware. When combined with the security and reliability that HHB media products are renowned for, we believe that these discs represent the only serious choice for professional audio and video applications."
