HHB Expands Media Range With New High-Speed CD-R And Compact Flash Products

Widely acclaimed for their performance, dependability and superior archival security, HHB Professional Recording Media products are the choice of broadcasters worldwide for critical recording applications.

The range is now expanded with the showcasing of two new products at AES: the HHB CDR80HS 2x-52x high-speed CD-R disc and the HHB CFPRO range of 1, 2 and 8GB 80x high-speed Professional Compact Flash cards.

Available as a branded disc in a jewel case, or inkjet printable in fifty disc cake packs, the new HHB CDR80HS CD-R disc delivers HHB's typically low error rate performance and one-hundred years plus archival security in a high-speed disc rated at 2X-52X.

Manufactured to exacting tolerances, the CDR80HS delivers consistently low block error rates and ultra low jitter performance, while the stable Pthalocyanine organic dye and tough protective coating provide a secure archival life in excess of one hundred years. High reflectivity ensures compatibility with a wide range of writers and recorders, with consistency assured by HHB's policy of batch testing discs with popular hardware on a continuing basis.

Meanwhile the launch of the HHB CFPRO 1, CFPRO2 and CFPRO8 sees the availability for the first time of professional-grade, high-speed Compact Flash media, optimized for critical audio and video applications. Extensively tested with a range of popular audio and video devices, and cameras, and supplied with a five year warranty, the new 80x rated 1, 2 and 8GB Compact Flash cards feature fast ATA host-to-buffer transfer rates supporting PIO 4 in true IDE mode, and a highly sophisticated error correction code and wear-leveling algorithm to provide discerning professional users with the superior levels of performance and dependability synonymous with the HHB Professional Recording Media range.

Particular attention has been paid to the CFPRO packaging, with durable library cases providing enhanced protection and the capacity necessary to contain the paper parts provided for documenting recorded contents.

Commenting on the launch of the new media products, HHB Managing Director, Ian Jones, says, "We're delighted to announce the launch of the new HHB CDR80HS high-speed CD-R disc and HHB CFPRO Compact Flash media in direct response to requests from our many broadcast and other professional users around the world."
