sembra che la triste parentesi del 740 abbia fatto aprire gli occhi ai vertici plextor.gigarec,varirec e company fanno pensare ad un prodotto by plextor;se poi farà la securom new 7 allora sarà da tenere d'occhio,sempre in versione bulk,perchè visto il quantitativo esagerato di software saremo sui 150€

Features

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


AUTOSTRATEGY®: The best DVD Quality

For the best writing quality, the drive's AUTOSTRATEGY technology selects the optimized write strategy for every DVD disc and, if necessary, creates a new write strategy for unknown media. (DVD+/-R)
A separate database stores all strategies that are created by the AUTOSTRATEGY function for media that is not currently supported in the firmware. A maximum of 31 write strategies can be held in the non-volatile memory of the drive. The entries can be activated or de-activated, and deleted. The list of database entries can be viewed and saved or printed.

The user can select the write strategy from the AUTOSTRATEGY database or from the database that resides in the drive's firmware by activating a different Mode.

Remark: This function is only available for DVD+R and DVD-R media (4X and higher).

1. Auto Selection Mode:

The drive will select the best write strategy, whether it is located in the AUTOSTRATEGY database or in the firmware database. If no suitale strategy is found, AUTOSTRATEGY will create a new, optimized strategy in the database.

2. AUTOSTRATEGY On Mode (Forced):

The drive will create a new write strategy for every new recording, whether a corresponding strategy exists already in the firmware or not.

3. AUTOSTRATEGY On Mode:

The drive will use the write strategies from the AUTOSTRATEGY database for recording. If no suitable strategy is found, a corresponding write strategy from the firmware's database will be used.

4. AUTOSTRATEGY Off Mode:

The drive will only use the write strategies from the firmware's database for recording. If no corresponding write strategy is found, the default write strategy will be used.


Media Quality Check

To assure you're receiving the best results with your drive, this function checks the quality of blank media.

Write strategy creation

This function offers to create a new write strategy for your blank media. The drive will create a new write strategy in the AUTOSTRATEGY database without recording a disc. It is possible to create several write strategies for the same media, which can be useful if there is a quality difference among media with the same MID code.


PlexEraser

PlexEraser is a data destruction utility that makes a recorded CD-R or DVD disc unreadable. The drive will "re-record" over the Lead-in and data sectors of a write once disc rendering the disc data unusable. Initially this feature will support DVD+/-R and CD-R media. Firmware upgrades will add support for DVD+/-R DL media.

SecureRecording

The SecureRecording function lets you write on a CD-R disc and protect the data with a password. To view the contents of a password-protected disc-or even to see a catalog of files-the user must enter the correct password. The password can be entered via PlexTools Professional software, or with SecuViewer software.

Buffer underrun proof

The buffer underrun proof technologies offer a solution to prevent writing failures during the burning process for CD and DVD by pausing the burn if the data to the drive write buffer is slowed or stopped. The drive resumes the burn process after the drive write buffer is refilled.

Silent mode

If the drive needs to be used in a quiet environment, the drive can be switched to silent mode. Unique technology that sets the drive for super-silent operation. By controlling access speed, read/write speed, and tray opening and closing speed, you reduce drive noise to a whisper. This technology is excellent for recording studios or offices where low noise is required.

SpeedRead

Enable reading CD-R media up to the maximum speed of the drive. Discs that may be damaged due to mishandling or improper use may shatter due to the higher rotational forces reached at the maximum read speed of the drive. The drive's maximum read speed is therefore limited as a safety function. SpeedRead enables the user to increase the read speed of the drive to the maximum possible. Plextor recommends examining each disc before enabling this function.

GigaRec

GigaRec lets you change the recording capacity of a standard CD-R disc from 70 percent up to 130 percent of its standard capacity. You can use GigaRec for CD-DA or data writing at 4X and 8X disc-at-once (DAO). The feature allows you to get that extra storage on a single disc for a larger project. For smaller projects, like an audio master, the feature enables you to use the entire capacity of the disc, increasing the size of the pits and lands for higher reproductive quality.

VariRec

VariRec provides user adjustment of the recording power above or below a default level. The default level reflects an optimized laser power setting with reduced jitter. Changing this setting will result in a change of sound or sound quality and may increase the playability or compatibility with existing players.

Q-Check

PlexTools Professional software provides a suite of diagnostic tests for blank and recorded media. The pre-recording tests of blank media allow you to choose the best media brands and recording parameters for your drive. The post-recording tests quantify the recording session and provide analyzer-type results to guarantee you're getting the best recording possible.

PoweRec

Plextor Optimized Writing Error Reduction Control (PoweRec) adjusts laser power and writing speed so they're at the optimum settings for that particular disc. Using real-time monitoring of the write data, PoweRec can increase or decrease write power and speed to guarantee the best possible writing quality with whatever brand media is used.

PlexTools Professional

This software tool offers a complete suite of recording applications and supports your drive's advanced quality check functions. Advanced drive settings such as GigaRec or Silent Mode can be changed. High quality audio extraction, various recording modes, and copying of files or disc images can be selected. Media testing with the drive's Q-Check function allows you to select the best media for your drive and examine the quality of your recordings. (www.plextools.com)

sembra ottimo!

unico neo ha 2 mb di buffer

si dice pero che costera 100 €

aspettiamo e vediamo

[severance]

ah ultima cosa: il 750 sembra sia un benq rimarchiato, ma scrivera pure i ram, mentre il 760 sara plextor ma niente ram

[eliogolf]

giuro che quando costerà tipo 80-90€ sarà mio poi quella funzione plexeraser..il px760 intendo..aspetta..XD..io ho 1 hd ide 1 lettore e il plextor px712a..potrei far rimanere sia px712a che px760 xD la retail xò prendo,senno è senza cosetto nero

[ulisss]

semplicemente stupendo.... sarà il mio ultimo masterizzatore dvd ...prima di passare ai nuovi supporti HD/BD.
Il prezzo della versione retail sarà circa 135 euro.

Sapete se, tra le velocità di scrittura su dvd single layer, conserverà i 2x / 4x per i supporti più vecchiotti come i ritek g03-g04?

Qualcuno sa quando è prevista l'uscita qui in Italia?

Ma quando cavolo esce??

[FreeJack82]

Se siete interessati all'acquisto di questo masterizzatore date anche un occhiata all'ultima novità di casa Plextor, il PX-755.

Ho aperto una segnalazione qui:
http://www.hwupgrade.it/forum/showth...1#post10414981

[indelebile]

ma ragazzi ma voi lo trovate in giro questo masterizzatore?

[lampur]

Credo che bisognerà aspettare molto. Leggete quanto riportato sul sito Plextor:

"Plextors strength and success in the market is the highly appreciated level of writing quality and reliability. According to these internal standards of quality, Plextor decided to delay the delivery for PX-760A series on a worldwide base until further notice. The 18x writing quality of our drive in combination with the available media does not meet our internal writing quality standards."

Per questo motivo hanno annunciato il PX755 che dovrebbe essere identico al 760, solo che scrive a 16x e non a 18x!

Sicuri che il 755 non sia un Benq rimarchiato ? il 760 di sicuro non lo è. Ma il 750 è solo rimarchiato da Plextor.

Non credo, perchè quelle caratteristiche (tipo autostrategy ecc.) non può averle un Benq rimarchiato. Infatti il 750 non le ha.

[theLux]

ragazzi, sembra che abbiano rimandato l'uscita....

chissa perchè... forse perchè 18x è fuori standard ? no ! sul sito dice che a 18x i dvd non hanno la solita ottima qualità di plextor...!!!!

[theLux]

...ho anche la vaga impressione che quelli che dovevano essere masterizzatori px-760 sono diventati px-755....

..un altro bel prodotto come i primi 716

[FreeJack82]

PX-755 disponibile nei negozi!

[cico66]

Avete idea quando si troverà il Plextor PX760?
