③ADA Media(ADA media is the same media as BD but has special ID)

To provide the reliability expected in certain archiving environments we have created this ADA cartridge with a special ID structure.

Concept for ADA Cartridge & Drive:

• A special ADA ID is added onto the media.
• The ADA drive recognizes the ADA media by reading the special ADA ID.
  1. The ADA drive does not support conventional BD media if it were manually inserted into the cartridge.
  2. The ADA drive does not support CD and DVD media if it were manually inserted into the cartridge.
  3. Only supported cartridge configurations are DVD-RAM with DVD-RAM cartridge ADA with ADA cartridge.

 

Special cassette-type shell cases thoroughly protect discs from shocks or contamination.
* Sepcial cassette-type shell cases protect discs from shocks, dust, and fingerprints to guard important data.
* Easy-to-handle media allows for greater convenience in managerment and storage.
