Hitachi-LG announces 8x super multi format DVD writer

The GSA-4081B was released just before Christmas time but Hitachi-LG (HLDS) has already announced its successor, the GSA-4082B. While the GSA-4081B burned DVD+R/RW at 8x/4x speed and DVD-R/RW at "only" 4x/2x speed the new GSA-4082B enables the faster 8x/4x speed for the DVD-R/RW format too.



Hitachi-LG GSA-4082B
Write speed Read speed
DVD+R 8x (Z-CLV) DVD-ROM SL 12x
DVD+RW 4x (CLV) DVD-ROM DL 8x
DVD-R 8x (Z-CLV) DVD±R/RW 8x
DVD-RW 4x (CLV) DVD-RAM 3x
DVD-RAM 3x (CLV) CD-R/ROM 32x
CD-R 24x (Z-CLV) CD-RW 24x
CD-RW 16x (Z-CLV) Buffer size 2 MB

GSA-4082B was developed in collaboration with related companies, by gathering all of the companies' latest technologies for overall development from key components to the product itself. The key technologies developed in order to realize this product are as follows. In addition, it inherits from its predecessor other technologies for stable writing, such as the LD driver with highly reliable write strategy built-in and buffer under-run prevention function.

Compact and high power optical pick up for 8x write

 

A high power laser allowing high-speed recording is embedded. Its unique heat radiation structure acquires high speed and stabilization, realizing high performance.

 

1 chip LSI (DSP) for 8x write

 

Accomplished speeding up the already high-speed high function LSI (DSP) developed for the conventional products that process all formats (DVD-RAM/R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-ROM, CD-R/RW, CD-ROM).

 

High-precision LD power learning control for 8x write

 

By adopting the newly developed high-precision LD power control learning method which applied DVD-RAM's LD power learning method, the quality of recording at 8x is secured.

The GSA-4082B is scheduled to ship in February at a projected volume of 600000 units/month. More information is available here.
