Verbatim Blu-ray discs announced

August 12, 2010 – Verbatim’s new Blu-ray media is now available offering 25GB of storage capacity with a 6x burning rate. It is ideal for recording films in high definition, backing up large amounts of data and long-term archiving of files including photos and videos. The new Verbatim Blu-ray BD-R 25GB 6x is now available in stores in a 5-pack jewel case.

  • 25GB capacity, offering up to 5 times the capacity of a standard DVD-R, equivalent to 4800 5MB photos
  • Hard Coat protective layer
  • Long archival lifetime
  • MABL inorganic recording layer for superb recording quality
  • Excellent playback performance

Blu-ray media is getting more and more attractive to consumers - both for home and professional use - to record and archive data. Verbatim meets this demand with its new Blu-ray disc BD-R 25GB 6x , which offers up to 5 times the capacity of a DVD-R, guaranteeing reliable and safe long-term storage of files, from home photos and videos to office documents with a burning time of less than 15 minutes.

Verbatim MABL recording technology and HardCoat Protection

Verbatim’s BD-R 6x and BD-R DL discs use a newly developed inorganic recording layer called MABL; a patented technology that ensures superb quality recording, long archival lifetime and excellent “playback” performance. Verbatim’s proven production technology and experience ensures perfect recording on every Blu-ray disc. As with all Verbatim CD, DVD and Blu-ray media, the discs are supported by a lifetime warranty.

Verbatim´s Hard CoatTM technology - a special scratch protection layer - protects the disc from scratches, fingerprints or dust, thereby helping to avoid recording or playback problems. “Thanks to the hard coat protective layer and recording technologies developed by our parent company Mitsubishi Kagaku Media, customers can be confident they have media of the highest quality,” says Torsten Leye, Marketing Manager Optical at Verbatim EUMEA.

Verbatim/Mitsubishi Kagaku Media is a contributing member of the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) and as a leading brand in CD-, DVD- and Blu-ray media, maintains close relations with the largest manufacturers of optical players and recorders. Verbatim works with the hardware manufacturers by providing them with media to help test and optimise hardware being developed. This means that consumers can be assured that Verbatim-branded media will always have very high levels of compatibility with hardware from the leading brands.

“Our Research and Development team at Mitsubishi Kagaku Media enables us to be at the forefront of Blue Laser Technology such as the development of triple-layer 100GB capacity discs,” says Alan Kleeman, National Sales and Marketing Manager for Verbatim Australia and New Zealand. “The new media will be produced in Mitsubishi Kagaku Media’s Mizushima factory and is expected to be in the market by spring 2011.”
