Last year the company invested more than US$10 million in research, development and modular manufacturing capabilities.
A member of the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) and DVD Forum, Imation says that it has dedicated teams completing technology development and final product refinements for single layer and double layer advanced optical formats.
To enable flexibility in responding to market requirements for both Blu-ray and HD-DVD products, the company says that it will utilize modular manufacturing processes and leverage key Imation technologies.
"Producing both Blu-ray and HD-DVD recordable optical media requires advanced manufacturing processes and technology savvy," says Imation SA sales manager, Juan David Fajardo.
Throughout 2006, Imation plans to launch the BD-RE (rewritable) and BDR (recordable) 25GB single layer and 50GB double layer Blu-ray formats.
Also in 2006, Imation plans to launch the HD-DVD-R (recordable) and HD-DVD-RW (rewritable) 15GB single layer and 30GB double layer HD=DVD formats.
Select formats will be available starting the first half of 2006, based on drive and recorder availability.
