LG Electronics
(LG) introduced Super Multi optical storage drives featuring enhanced
flexibility for the next-generation DVD formats and security features.



Key products from LG - the largest optical storage manufacturer in the world
and the leading drive supplier in the U.S. - include the groundbreaking
'Super Multi Blue’ Blu-ray Disc Rewriter and HD DVD-ROM Drive and the new Super Multi
DVD Rewriter with Security Function featuring “SecurDisc” technology
co-developed with Nero.



The Next Generation of Optical Storage

LG Electronics offers flexibility to consumers in the next generation in
optical disc drives. The GGW-H10N is compatible with both Blu-ray Discs and
HD-DVD formats. The Super Multi Blue drive is compatible with Blu-ray Disc, DVD,
CD read/write and HD-DVD-ROM, offering consumers with the most universal unit
available.



The GGW-H10N can record up to 50GB of data, equivalent to 4-1/2 hours of
high-definition video or 22 hours or standard definition video (on a dual layer
50GB BD-R/BD-RE recordable media). Surpassing the market standard, LG is
providing a 4x recording speed of Blu-ray Discs, which means that it takes only
23-24 minutes to burn a full single layer BD-R disc (25GB), compared with 46-47
minutes for conventional 2x recording.



The LG-developed Optical Pickup is the world’s first device supporting both
Blu-ray disc write/playback, HD DVD playback, which proves the company’s
unsurpassed technology in the optical storage field.



Super Multi Blue, also available from LG Electronics in the first dual-format
high-definition disc player (model BH-100) available in early 2007, is expected
to end customers’ confusion caused by the format war between Blu-ray disc and
HD DVD and promote the growth of next-generation DVD market. (See separate news
release.)



Optical Pickup: The device reading and storing data by converting the code of
the light reflected by an optical disc to electric code.



New Level of Security

Using SecurDisc software co-developed with Nero, LG Electronics’ new Super
Multi DVD Rewriter with Security Function meets the demand for enhanced
features to enable secure data protection and content access control when
writing data on CD and DVD formats.
