PRESS RELEASE

COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2017のレポートでお伝えしたとおり、Vinpower Digitalの手によって光学ドライブの「オプティアーク(Optiarc)」ブランドが復活し、新しいDVDドライブが投入される。その第1弾製品が「AD-5290S」と「AD-5290S-PLUS」の2モデルだ。

At COMPUTEX 2017, Vinpower Digital had a number of optical storage products on display, including new drives from Piodata, Plexdisc and Optiarc. Yes, thanks to Vinpower, the Optiarc brand is back in a big way with its 5200 series of DVD writers. The line includes the 5290S and 5290S-PLUS which are capable of 24x DVD±R, 8x DVD±R DL, 8x DVD+RW and 6x DVD-RW writing speeds and a maximum DVD read speed of 16x. The two drives are also built using the true Japanese design and parts lists for a stronger and more reliable system.

Blast from the past. Optiarc is back, and Vinpower Digital has revised the Optiarc product line with the introduction of the Optiarc 5290S-PLUS optical disc burner, which offer the DVD+R DL Overburn feature toexpand the writing capacity from 8.5GB up to 8.7GB.

かつて光学ドライブを製造していたソニーオプティアークを覚えていらっしゃるだろうか。もともとは2006年にNECと合弁で設立された会社で、ソニーNECオプティアークとして知られていたが、2008年にソニーがNECの保有株をすべて取得して、ソニーの完全子会社として、ソニーオプティアークに改名した。しかし2012年に、ソニーがPC用光学ドライブ事業から撤退し、2013年3月で同社は完全に解散した。

そのソニーオプティアークが今回、「Optiarc(オプティアーク)」ブランドで完全復活することが、COMPUTEXで明らかになった。製造や開発を担当するのは、業務用の光学ドライブデュプリケータなどを製造するVinpower Digitalだ。ちなみに、同社はPlextorブランドの光学ドライブも一部販売を担当している。

Er was een tijd dat een computer zonder optisch station ondenkbaar was. Dat is inmiddels veranderd en dat heeft ook gevolgen gehad voor de markt. Bekende merken zijn verdwenen, zoals bijvoorbeeld Optiarc. Dat was een samenwerking tussen Sony en NEC. Op de Computex waren we verbaasd, ze weer tegen te komen. Inmiddels is het een merk van Vinpower Digital geworden en dat heeft zich ook bekommerd over het merk Plextor. Die laatste is nog een naam van Lite-On die dat onder andere gebruikt voor haar SSD’s. De focus bij dat bedrijf is verlegd naar dat opslagmiddel en dat gaf Vinpower de mogelijkheid om het merk te gebruiken voor optische producten.

OSAKA, Japan, Jan. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic Corporation announced today that it has developed the world's first1 Blu-ray Disc™ playback technology supporting the latest technologies such as 4K and High Dynamic Range , which are expected to be adopted in the next generation Blu-ray Disc standards2 (ULTRA HD BLU-RAY™). A prototype player will be on display at the 2015 International CES (Las Vegas, NV, United States) January 6-9, 2015.

Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. movies featuring Dolby Atmos soundtracks will soon be available for home theater enthusiasts with Dolby Atmos enabled AV receivers and speakers. Dolby Atmos movies will also be available this fall on Blu-ray Disc and through content service provider VUDU.

Although there has been some progress in industries and infrastructure related to the streaming of 4K content, it seems that the Blu-ray disc will remain a feasible solution for the distribution of 4K premium content, and the Blu-ray Disc Association has almost finalized the 4K Blu-ray disc format specs.

Those who want movies with the very highest quality will be keen on 4K Blu-ray's better resolution, color, and dynamic range. Yet millions seem happy with streaming video, despite its shortcomings.

Vinpower Digital, a recognized global manufacturer and distributor of digital duplication equipment and accessories, has added the prestigious Plextor brand to its arsenal of products. Vinpower partnered with Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions (PLDS), to distribute the full line of Plextor PX-891SAW Optical Disc Drives (ODD) worldwide.

In an effort to accommodate the expanding global marketplace, Vinpower Digital has partnered with TEAC to distribute the entire line of TEAC optical disc and flash duplication equipment and printers!
