(2005/10/12)</title><link>http://www.giga-byte.com/News/Peripherals/News_List.aspx?NewsID=1164</link><description><![CDATA[<table><tr><td><img src='/FileList/News/old_system_news/news_go-w1601.jpg' align='right'>GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, unveiled its first 16X DVD Dual COMBO burner to support Double Layer (DL) recording in the industry this year. After that, GIGABYTE is not only pursuing a higher level of technique specifications but also improving the exterior covering. It provides new exterior coverings for all series of optical disc drives that are available soon in the market with new packages.</td></tr></table>
Since the bezels of the optical disc drives in the market now give the users with too much information including the name of manufacturer and the product specifications etc. Therefore, a bezel is overloaded with information, and the beauty of the bezel is always sacrificed. It does not need to mention that the bezel does not fit the PC chassis and causes that the appearance of the PC chassis lacks unity and collocation. Thus, GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY, as a pioneer in the industry, creates the new bezels with concepts as the following: 
1.	In order to avoid overloading of the information on the bezel, the only remaining contents on the bezel are the highest product specifications and optical discs read/ write speed.
2.	The company name is displayed in an indented mold. Therefore, the color of the bezel is simple. It can collocate with PC chassis without covering PC’s appearances. Also, it can avoid that multiple company names appear simultaneously.
3.	Using mold method to duplicate the PATTERN images. The bezel carries with characteristic. It is not monotonous and not too fussy. 

Through GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY R&D expert team, the optical disc drive can balance between the innovation of specification and the beauty of bezel. This new bezel focuses mainly on the modification of the exterior covering and the recording technology developed by GIGABYTE remains:

I.B.S (Intelligent Burn SuperLink Technology)
Through Intelligent Burn SuperLink Technology developed by GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY R&D team, the errors caused by running of disc burning process and other applications simultaneously can be avoided. Along with the emerging of various and colorful PC chassis available in the market, GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY offers a free stylish black bezel to match users’ casing in order to meet their needs. Users can change the bezel of burners as they wish (intelligent Burn SuperLink Technology).

i-Burn intelligent Burn Technology
The improved i-Burn technology will auto detect the optimal recording speed based on the qualities of the discs users place in. Also, it will automatically adjust an optimum burning speed based on the qualities of different areas of disks during the recording process to ensure that users can burn the best quality of DVD discs quickly and safely.

i-Speed intelligent Speed Technology
In order to avoid taking over CPU resources and to extend product's lifespan, the burners of GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY automatically adjust the reading speed according to different types and quality of optical discs. The low speed operation, for example, is performed for playing the music CDs in order to minimize the undesired sound. The high speed operation is performed for accessing the data on the optical discs in order to enhance the operation performance.

VRS (Vibration Reduction System) and Ultra Quiet design
Most optical disc drives make undesired sound while they are performing the high speed operation. Though the advanced and exact design of the VRS (Vibration Reduction System), the drives can read silently and also provide better stability while they are performing the high speed operation thus maintaining the correctness in reading data. This advanced and exact design shows how GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY R&D team persists in product developing and researching.  

Along with the emerging of various and colorful PC chassis available in the market, GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY offers a free white bezel of the same material to match users’ casing in order to meet their needs. Users can change the bezel of burners as they wish.]]></description>
