Canon Middle East announces the DW-100, a new standalone DVD burner that is compatible with its entire flash camcorder range – the HF10, HF100, FS11, FS10 and FS100 – and the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) HG10. Ideal for sharing and archiving movies, the DW-100 allows users to burn AVCHD and Standard Definition movies to ordinary 12cm discs without the need for a computer. Effortlessly easy to use, it also doubles as an AVCHD disc player when connected to a compatible camcorder.
The DW-100:
Burn AVCHD and SD movies and photos onto DVDs without a computer (DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-R DL)
Easy to use: simply three button interface – just connect, select and burn
DVD menu creation also possible
Playback AVCHD DVDs when connected to a compatible camcorder
Store more footage with DVD-R DL compatibility: up to 2.6 hours (8.5Gb) of HD movies
Compact and stylish design that is truly portable integrates seamlessly into the home
Share and store
With a simple, three-button interface, the DW-100 puts the emphasis on ease-of-use. Once connected to the camcorder via a USB 2.0 Hi Speed cable, users have three burn options – copy the camcorder’s entire contents, archive new and changed files, or copy a personal playlist (created in-camera).
The DW-100 can also be used to create photo-movies from JPEG images.
AVCHD movie playback
When connected to a TV via a compatible camcorder, the DW-100 supports playback of AVCHD movies – eliminating the need to purchase an expensive Blu-ray player.
Standard Definition DVDs can be played back on conventional home players.
Watch for longer
Compatibility with DVD-R Dual Layer media offers greater capacity. Allowing users to record more video on a single disc – an effective way to cut down costs and save on storage space – up to 2.6 hours of HD movies can be archived.
Travel companion.
Weighing only 1.9kg, the DW-100 is perfectly portable: an ideal travel companion for anyone who wants to send holiday footage to friends at home while still abroad.
