Pioneer announced its new BDR-XD04, which is the world’s smallest and lightest portable Blu-ray/DVD/CD burner with support for BDXL. The ultra compact drive is able to read and write to all BDXL disc formats including BD-R triple-layer 100GB media, BD-R quad-layer 128GB media, and BD-RE triple-layer 100GB media, as well as ordinary Blu-ray Disc, DVD and CD media.
The Pioneer BDR-XD04 measures just 5.2” (W) X .55” (H) X 5.2” (D) and weighs only 8.46 oz. It features PowerRead to provide smoother movie playback when a disc has fingerprints or minor surface scratches, and PureRead2+ that prevents click or pop sounds that might normally occur due to minor scratches and fingerprints on CDs. The portable BDXL burner is powered through USB without the need for external power adapter. It includes a manual eject lever that lets the user eject a loaded disc when power to the device is not available. There is also Auto Quiet mode that minimizes its operating noise based on how it is being used.
The Pioneer BDR-XD04 uses USB 2.0 interface and comes with 4MB buffer memory. It comes with CyberLink software, enabling users to watch standard Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D titles, and author high-definition Blu-ray Disc content or standard-definition DVD content.
