Valhalla, NY - Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., today announced several new products for broadcast and video professionals that will be displayed at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show in Las Vegas next week.
As the broadcast industry moves into the era of high definition and interactive programming, the need to capture and manage high quality, massive digital content will require innovation and new tools.
Announced today from Fujifilm are:
-- Fujifilm-branded Professional Grade High Definition Video (HDV) tape media, which offers a high level of quality and reliability for DV professionals;
-- Fujifilm branded Blu-ray discs - expected to be commercially available by June - and HD DVD discs, which are expected to be available later this year; and
-- Fujifilm Super DLTtape(TM) II Data Cartridges, compatible with the new Quantum SDLT 600A enhanced data tape system for video professionals.
"There is increasing demand for high-performance products for capturing, transferring and archiving high definition content used by large broadcast and entertainment companies," notes Steven Solomon, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Recording Media Division, Fujifilm USA. "Fujifilm's advanced technologies, including magnetic and optical coatings and polymer science, are providing the broadcast industry with highly advanced, next generation digital solutions."
Prototypes of the technologies being introduced today will be on display at the Fujifilm booth (#SU149, South Hall) in the Las Vegas Convention Center from Monday, April 24th through Wednesday, April 26th.
Other technologies on display in the Fujifilm booth include Fujifilm-developed media for the new Sun/StorageTek T10000 drive system, the highest capacity data tape storage drive commercially available.
