LG Electronics announced its 2011 product lineup of Optical Disc Drives (ODD) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices today at the International Consumer Electronics Show.
Leading LG's 2011 ODD lineup is the company's first portable Blu-ray Rewriter, the BP06LU10. Encased in a slim and stylish frame, the BP06LU10 boasts 3D Playback functionality that provides top-notch videos and sound and spectacular live-action stereoscopic 3D.
Unlike existing external Blu-ray Rewriters, the AC Power Adapter Free BP06LU10 allows for Blu-ray disc writing and title playing experiences for mini and slim laptop users with no optical disc drive. 3D Blu-ray content that used to be played through Blu-ray players and TVs can now be played on the PC with the BP06LU10 external Blu-ray Rewriter. Thanks to the BP06LU10’s Power DVD 3D bundle software, it not only plays 3D titles, but also converts conventional 2D DVD titles to provide a 3D effect.
Furthermore, BP06LU10 boasts LG’s innovative optical disc drive technology, featuring “Silent Play” and “Jamless Play.” With Silent Play, the disc read speed is automatically controlled for optimal noise reduction. Jamless Play allows the device to detect and skip any scratched parts of a disc to help provide smooth video and sound with minimalinterruption.
Its writing speeds are at 6x Blu-ray and 8x DVD. Disc storage is more convenient with the Lightscribe feature, which allows users to create customized labels onto a specially coated disc (sold separately). With its stylish blue slim frame and easy portability, the BP06LU10 offers exceptional design with functionality to match.
LG also introduced new models in the portable DVD re-writer category. The RP8 series (models GP40LB10, NW10 and NR10) and RP11 series (models GP10NB20, NW20 and NG20) all feature attractive lightweight designs with USB connectivity. Both the GP40LB10 and GP10NB20 have been reduced in size by 20 percent from previous models.
Network Attached Storage Devices
LG unveiled three new NAS models, including the MM1 and the NC2 and NT1 series. The LG MM1 has a built-in slot DVD re-writer with 512MB memory and three USB 2.0 ports. The NC2 series (models N2B1DD1, N2B1DD2, N2R1D, N2R1DD1, N2R1DD2 and N2B1D) and NT1 series (models N1T1DD1 and N1A1DD1) both feature a Mobile Streaming function that allows users to stream information and media directly to portable smart devices, such as smart phones and tablet PCs.
The LG N1T1 is a 1TB network storage device with a DVD rewriter, which serves as an additional backup option. This compact storage solution features a Media Link Server for an LG SmartTV connection and is DLNA and Energy Star 5.0 Certified.
The LG N2T2 2TB NAS is a sleek and innovative storage device with a built-in DVD re-writer. With smart phones and tablet PCs becoming popular with consumers, the N2A2 is able to stream video and music directly to portable devices via the internet.
