Incorporating from one to seventeen DVD-RAM drives,
the DV Series libraries record data onto DVD-RAM media at 1.35 MBs per

needed for critical recording environments such as video record-and-playback,
security, back-up and storage.

storage requirements by offering users safe, secure and reliable storage
for their important and sensitive data," said J. Richard Ellis, DISC
President and CEO. "With compatibility across multiple operating
systems, customers can expect seamless integration into a complete range
of applications and environments."

Series can read from both DVD-RAM and DVD-ROM discs as well as from CD-ROM,
CD-Audio, CD-R, CD-RW and video CDs. A single DVD can store approximately
1.3 million pages of text, 150 minutes of high-quality MPEG-2 video, more
than 8 hours of AC3 audio or 5,200 full-color photos (640x480).
